Post pre-New Year's Eve goodness
I’ve been meaning to post something about this, but Himself and I were invited over to the Og Lair for a nice pre-New Year’s Eve gathering. There was sushi and ham rolls with olives that looked like eyes, both created by the Oglet and the OgWife, fresh bread made by the Hands of Og, Italian… Continue reading

Again, when seconds count, the cops are minutes away….
In Oklahoma, a woman shot and killed a man who broke into her home. She was on the phone for 21 minutes to the police dispatcher and no police arrived in that time. She had barricaded the door and listened while the man and his partner went from door to door to gain entry. As… Continue reading

Looking beyond the label….
I was talking with a co-worker today and it culminated at this: “don’t look at the label”. She had said that she could never vote for a Republican because all Republicans have certain religious beliefs that they want to force on the rest of us. I pointed out that the Dems also have beliefs, as… Continue reading

Okay, I just don't get it…..
Cee Lo Green changes the words to John Lennon’s ‘Imagine’ when he sang it on New Year’s Eve and the world goes totally insane. I’m surprised the Progressives didn’t call for re-education and a verbal lynching a la Tracy Morgan at the blasphemy of stating that ‘all religions are real too’. But the National Anthem… Continue reading

Polenta vs. Corn Mush
As near as I can tell, polenta and corn mush are the same thing–just one is pretentious because it has an Italian name. I did a side-by-side using a tube of Trader Joes polenta and a tube of Yoders corn mush. The only difference is the polenta didn’t mash quite as much when cooked in… Continue reading

Shhhhh…. librarian at work…
I took a couple of days off between Christmas and New Years and have undertaken a Labor that would have made Hercules weep with fear–alphabetizing the library. This includes the integration of both of our rather extensive reading collections. So far Himself and I don’t have a whole lot of duplicates, but as much room… Continue reading

Kudos and Prop Props for Evyl Michael Robot.
One of Evyl Michael Robot’s (TheHolsterSite.com) holsters is going to be a major prop on the series In Plain Sight. As an added bit o’ cool, it’s based on one owned by Old NFO. Since he is a professional, he’s making it useable as well as camera-worthy, which is a lot harder than it sounds.… Continue reading

At least Argentina is blatant about it….
So Argentina has ‘nationalized’ their newspapers. Big deal–at least everyone knows and acknowledges what they did. Our media and newspapers have been the willing tools of the government for years–hiding and just downright not reporting on issues, such as Obama’s qualifications (or not) to be president, the John Edwards kerfluffle (had to be broken by… Continue reading

Waste in the government
Okay, it’s a given, but Old NFO has a bunch of stuff pulled from Sen. Tom Coburn’s Wastebook 2011. And I thought of this scene from the movie ‘Dave’ (embedding disabled so you’ll have to follow the link). So why can’t the government catch a clue or figure out that all of these things are… Continue reading
