Okay, the welcome day was actually March 30, but that doesn’t change the sentiment. Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans Day from Dave Perkins on Vimeo. Hat tip:  W.H.”B”.S.

I started wearing contacts when I was twelve.  In those days, hard contacts were so thick they were like little pebbles in ones eyes, but I didn’t care.  I was finally out from behind my coke bottle-bottom glasses.  Over the years, I switched to soft lenses, which didn’t correct my

The post title is from Sadie’s email, bringing this charming little video to my attention.  Wouldn’t you like to know what those boys are saying? [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_JmA2ClUvUY[/youtube]

The screaming SEIU members may no longer be on the front page, but the union agenda continues in Wisconsin.  We can’t let short memory syndrome derail conservatives yet again.  Remember:  Wisconsin Republicans need your help.

Pardon my vanishing act, but I did my final big push today to get my book published.  With luck, I’ll be linking to it this coming week, and sending out groveling blegs all over the place.

She was the third worst professor I had at law school.  The first worst was a guy who was hopped up on Quaaludes.  The second worst was a guy who spent 9/10 of the year on a single case, and then crammed the rest of the book into that last

If you’re not regular Right Wing News readers, you wouldn’t know that the site has updated its appearance.  It’s really beautiful now.  Check it out.

I never quite grasped the Elizabeth Taylor mystique, but even I understood those beautiful eyes.  Rest in Peace, Ms. Taylor, dead today at 79.

I’ve mentioned before that I’m planning on epublishing a book consisting of my favorite old posts.  The book represents the faint hope that, after seven years of compulsive writing, I’ll be able to make a little money. I’m actually on on track for getting the book out in the next

As you can see, my blog still works.  A technical glitch at the WordPress end, however, has locked me out of my stats.  I’m now in serious withdrawal.  I didn’t realize how hooked I was on stat checking.  I’m still writing, but it’s enormously frustrating to me that I can’t
