Borepatch did a great short bio a few years ago.  Even at an age when mere mortals are usually resting on their laurels, Sir Christopher was still working.  As BP said, a true badass.  Something from the earlier days: Something from a few years ago: Continue reading

So, I get into an elevator with a bellhop  at a hotel in a large east coast city.  He’s closer to the buttons and has 11 pushed.  I asked him to push 12.  He looks at me and says “I guess that means that you’re above me.” I look at him and say, very calmly,… Continue reading

Does anyone else cringe when Eric Holder uses the word ‘Unconstitutional’?  The man has spent his entire tenure as Attorney General destroying the document that he swore to uphold and protect.  Of course that doesn’t make him any different than the President who has abrogated his responsibility totally to Valerie Jarrett, Speaker Boehner, at least… Continue reading

Via Drudge:  Some British scientists with too much time on their hands did a huge study on penis size.  They found the average size to be 5.16 inches utilizing 15000 units from around the world as their sample(mainly European and Middle Eastern men though).

Mr B has to be at work today, so I’m literally keeping the home fires burning.  What to do on a snowy February day?  Bake some bread, feed the birds, keep the wood stove stoked and then maybe later start up the tractor and use the front-loader to clear the driveway.  And laundry, if only… Continue reading

So, women, especially sorority women at the University of Virginia are being told that they are such helpless twaits, that they must be ordered to stay home on Saturday nights.  Moreover, they are being told that all men are evil nasty predators that cannot be trusted.  So I wonder a couple of things: 1) are… Continue reading

I finally got it.  And ironically enough, it was Pope Francis that got whatever synapse firing in my brain.  The whole thing about Charlie Hebdo and free speech.  So here it is and I’m hoping that I can state it clear enough for everyone not in my brain to understand. It is part of the… Continue reading
