Sat, 26 Apr 2008 14:09:20 PDT
The Broncos want to get back to rushing the football in 2008 like an elite team, and their pick in the first round Saturday showed that with OT Ryan Clady from Bosie State.

Rotten Timing of Bands and Heart Attacks

Sat, 19 Apr 2008 12:12:04 PDT
Diary time again. Wednesday afternoon, I ended up doing something I had never done before, and the only reason was because the Pope was visiting America. Normally, I would be indifferent to such a thing, and it was exactly my complete indifference that drove me to this point. You see, when I eat lunch in my house, I eat in my living room, usually around 12.30 or 1.00, while I watch television, often the news. It's usually the only television I watch in the course of a day, unless it's Thursday,

40 is the new 20? The plight of the middle able.

Sat, 26 Apr 2008 09:49:00 PDT
Middle Able. I was watching The Big Idea with Donny Deutch on CNBC the other week, and I'm seeing trends today I'm amused at. In the Church of the Epical, we talk about building and being one's own Superhero, but now it seems we're trending towards a new sort of "immortality". Allegedly, the human race now gets a second chance at life. The middle aged are now what I will coin the phrase as "middle ABLE". It appears that the latest generations of the "elders" are refusing to grow old gra

Thailand’s lese majeste laws are strict and carry sentences of up to 15 years’ imprisonment. Ho

Foreign Policy Analyst: War In Iraq Has Made America’s Position In The World…Stronger?

Sat, 26 Apr 2008 07:24:18 PDT
Since the beginning of the war in Iraq the liberal dogma on foreign policy has been that Bush’s approach to it has undermined America’s standing in the world. One highly-regarded foreign policy expert says that isn’t quite the case. Far from diminishing America’s standing the world, the war in Iraq has solidified it. THE US war in Iraq has strengthened its strategic position, especially in terms of key alliances, and the only way this could be reversed would be if it lost the will to contin
