Sunday, March 29th, 2009I find the headline amazing in and of itself - let alone the article and all the myriad of implications.
I am not sure we know when we read headlines about Predators hitting targets in remote Pakistan how transformative to the art of warfare these vehicles that can loiter for 24+ hours unseen then provide lethal force are - but this headline really brings it home in a new way.
Daniel Hannan
Sunday, March 29th, 2009Daniel Hannan is British MP - at least I think is in the House of Commons and I think the House of Commoners are called MPs. Anyway - he is an elected representative in Britain who has some great things to say.
I am going to link his blog to the sideline. If anyone finds the blog of an elected American congressman i’ll link it too -

Friday, March 27th, 2009Throwbacks
Friday, March 27th, 2009Everyone who cares about this who reads this probably already knows, but I am looking forward to and probably a little astonished by the fact the Broncos are planning to wear replicas of their old mustard and brown jerseys this year. Pretty much all I know about them is they are widely regarded as one of the ugliest uniforms ever and the originals were burned.
I definitely remember the game against the raiders - probably because they played so badly - many years ago when they wore the old uniform with the knocked out horse on the helmet. I thought they looked rather silly. I think one of the reasons the Broncos rarely do throw-backs is that they don’t have very many good ones - just the uniforms with the D on the helmet.
Some Culture
Tuesday, March 24th, 2009I was amazed at the number of Sondheim’s works I had either seen or heard about. And his stand alone hit “Send in the Clowns” is an excellent, if very sad, song.

Tuesday, March 24th, 2009Well, maybe not. Sorry Al. Maybe this guy is closer to the truth.
Inspirational Speaches
Tuesday, March 24th, 2009Check out the videos - both are good. Note what must be one of the original uses of the term “Band of Brothers” in the Shakespeare video.
