I'm a die-hard Firefox user, so you can imagine that it's been a little annoying for me to have to deal with the pop-up, pop-under problem (courtesy of the Flash plug-in) that still exists even in this stage of the...

The Hergert mess continues: Now that Dave Hergert has refused to resign, state lawmakers will restart a legal and political fight over whether the University of Nebraska Regent can be impeached. But another option exists at the periphery of the...

I have a confession to make. I suffer from what is called "exploding head syndrome." That is to say that I hear things when I fall asleep. Well, not just "things," but you'll see what I mean. Let me give...

I have noticed that to the anti-Thune elitists, it doesn?t matter what John Thune and his supporters do?it is never good enough. So I don?t know why I am bothering with this photo. But it seems that how close ones...

I guess the Rolling Stones have gone from aged rock stars to political commentators. I wonder if Mick Jaggar even knows what a neo-conservative is? To most people on the left, neo-conservative has come to mean a conservative with a...

Reid to lockhorns with ram

Sen. Harry Reid (Donk-NV) has found his level of opposition as a problem with a pet project is in potential conflict with a pet critter. This pits good ole senatorial pork against the envirowacko regs governing an "endangered species". (Whether or not this is a real species is another question all together.)

Both were born in the same state. Both have loyal constituencies and perks that come with their leadership positions. But politics and economics have conspired to put Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada and his neighbor, a desert bighorn sheep nicknamed Horndog, on a collision course.

This is really interesting - who has the more dense skull? Horndog, or Sen. Dusty Harry?

Submariners in peril are saved by the 'brotherhood of the sea'

The Chief extends a "bravo zulu" (well done) to the Russian submariners who maintianed their professional composure under extremely tough conditions, and to the UK Royal Navy team that enabled the positive outcome to this potential tragedy.

Maritime disasters or potential disasters always jab the Chief's attention. Based on his own modest sea-going experience on a DDG for a couple years, it's never hard to identify with those situations - at sea anything can happen, and generally does, somewhere, sometime.

Fortunately for the Russians, this time they dodged the bullet, or should it be that they dodged the depth charge!
