Check out these wonderful motivational posters based upon Churchill’s sayings.  Obama should be forced to memorize each of these and to recite them daily, morning and evening, to his face in the mirror.  Given the international scene right now (and Obama’s feckless and wuss-ish approach) I particularly like the one

It’s a joke to call Alexander McQueen’s work fashion, because these clothes were never meant to be worn by real people, even fashionable real people.  However, there’s a bizarre beauty to the images he was able to create with fantasy clothes, leggy models, peculiar hairstyles, shaved eyebrows, and twelve inch

My sister and I are teaming to send a few hundred books to the troops.  Or at least, that’s what we want to do.  The problem is that I cannot remember which organization to go through or which method to use to get the books to them.  Do any of

I can’t trace the exact quotation down, but Dennis Prager often says something to the effect that compassion towards society’s malfeasors is often tantamount to punishment for the innocent.  This story, which is the follow-up to a terrible accident I blogged about five months ago, perfectly illustrates that point.
