I recently learned of that from another source but it can’t be stated often enough, especially when he runs on about nuking England.

He’s quite a piece of work, but then they all are. His...

It's not complex. For most of recorded history, religion equals crowd control.

Marauding is a standard feature of Russian armies and has been for centuries. From the video it looks like all that was wanted was the watch. Stealing watches was the number one crime of Russian...

There is a lot of corruption at many levels in Ukraine. They are after all a post Soviet nation having inherited every Soviet trait, including military style, legal systems, and the rest. Indeed,...

They will only get "their best deal" by kicking Russia out of their country. After that, I'm sure an arrangement can be made.

It's still a little too soon to be assured of the outcome, but if the Ukrainians are able to complete and encirclement, the analogy will be perfect to the last detail. It always looked and felt...

I watched the parade and speech as well. It was a very threadbare affair. Lukashenko wasn’t the only uncomfortable face. Shoigu looked detached if not desolate.

I think your post sums it up...

Vlad Vexler speculates.

I think inner conflict and strife between service arms and minsters goes some way to explaining Pregozhin's comments. Then again, inner conflict and jockeying for favor is a traditional feature of a...

Hey Joe! Looks like a fun night but is it possible that any of the painted ladies might have second thoughts down the road?

I am really tired. I trust Paul will edit and expand on the images. I'm off to watch Ukrainian drone drops on Telegram (hotel wifi didn't work in my room) and then to bed.

Paul reckons we...

Here's a photo of Duxford's B17, one side being in Belle livery. The Duxford copy can fly, which is cool. But she's not the actual Memphis Belle that we saw today. To be fair, they don't pretend...

Hey Lefty! Missed you!

Al and I have always had the same genes. I was just hiding my light. Did you know that his grandparents and mine were from the same western Ukrainian town? Neither did...

I just got home. I'd think Paul should be sashaying in shortly or already has. Maybe not if he stopped to eat. I was going to grab a road bite that but hightailed it home instead. Paul took a lot...

Air Force museum tomorrow. Also, not just bourbon.

You know how I feel.
Jesus talks to them, they talk back so it's perfectly clear what is in the mind of God, and they demand that each of us submit to His will as they know it.

This is the wrong question. The right question is "how do you relate to and raise your children as respects habit forming and restricted substances?" If you live today and haven't smoked...

Hi Jake! That line made an impression on me too when I read Jimmy's link. I'm playing with tools again. It's so much fun to have busy hands once more.

I think this is the deal. They get off of Carlson for far less money than they would otherwise have had to spend and they appear to be in correction/contrition mode for the next trial with...

He'll hit the endowments and trust funds Daddy left a bit hard if he needs more. But he doesn't need more. He was born rich, will die rich.

I haven't felt so uplifted in weeks. Schadenfreude with oak leaf clusters. I come to celebrate!

Being outraged over the general swill fed to the rubes by scum like Fox, OAN and Newsmax,...

I advocate inventing our own theories, never mind those of others.

First of all, it's no coincidence that Tucker just got the boot.
In all the excitement, I forgot that the alien airhead who...

He'd be perfect for it.

It's because of money. Which liability was the straw that broke the camel's contract? Perhaps it's not that he was a lunatic lying POS since there are plenty of those left at Fox. But looking...

I propose that in addition to any other motives Murdoch's machine may have, Carlson was fired to project a "proactive response" to the Dominion suit. Smartmatic is now at bat and they are asking...

Theocrats and fascists. I loathe them.

To be clear, the local politics here don't here suit me.

I'm not sure precisely what you mean though I'm happy to discuss for my further understanding. Are you saying that failure to go to war...

I am sure Trump its not happy today. Absolutely utterly positive, I am. Imagine having to send Melania more money to remind her to keep her mouth shut and hold off on the divorce proceedings. It...

It's that old time religion stuff in this case. They very frequently get it wrong. Vivid imaginations though.

Ukraine is a nation state now and has been so previously as you know or should know. She has allies who are all NATO members (something Putin has now made much more possible for her in some...

Astounding resilience but perhaps as indicative of Russian incompetence as it is of Ukrainian fortitude. Russia is revealed for what it is and what it isn’t. Ukraine shows a unity of purpose we...

Good Link, Andrew. Thanks. I too think St.P was an inside job. Taking out a prominent malcontent and critic along with his most ardent sycophants was the point. If there were a few stray...

More to come. Watch this space. We should be comforted knowing this will not be the last indictment to drop but it is glacial. I like watching Formula 1 in between news of Trump going to prison to...

"Hunter Biden enriched himself because his father is the president. How dare he? We will investigate this unprecedented and outrageous crime and bring him to heel."

Irony is lost...

Newsmax, maybe OAN. Fox is taboo. Sorry I'm so late in responding. I'm......irregular!

Then again, it could all be a setup for failure. That would be awkward. I don't particularly like the leaks and consider their occurrence beneath the importance of the case. It's really painful...

Kevin! Exactly.

How much do you think you'd want...or need....to be his lawyer for the moment and how does the contract read? It's a good thing he's got The Base to pay for it. He sure...

^David!

When the hell do we get some solid schadenfreude out of the fate of this miserable turd? This is the least of the charges that make any sense but maybe NY believes it has the goods...

I did a dumb thing and French polished an Indonesian monkey wood table. It was the worst finishing experience of my life but it was gorgeous for about three days. I was quite proud of the...

That's the most obvious physical thing to me. The difference between Moscow and Mariupol is clear. Although what a low res thing the Mariupol snapshot is and the chins are weird. Then again,...

I wish to explain to gypsie that beets can be boiled and roasted but whatever you do to them, you get a reminder the next day. They seem to pas more or less straight through. For some reason this...

I'm partial to a proper bagel, cream cheese, lox, maybe some capers and red onion. That gets it done.

Corn is of course grain, seeds and berries in general so pepper is corn thinking olde style and liberally allowing for variations. I think Jewish pastrami with its pepper crust is what to think of...

Joe! Well, there once was a Jewish Lord Mayor of Dublin. It was a celebrated item when he was elected. But I think most Jews with Irish surnames never actually set foot in Ireland. Legend has it...

It’s surprising how seriously my imaginary origin story can appear to some. People are just too cereal these days.I guess corned beef and cabbage should not be taken lightly. This is heavy duty fare!

You could say a Reuben is inspired by eastern European Jewish cuisine but I read you. It isn’t kosher but then neither am I.

Actually the traditional garnish is smetana, a richer and more natural version of cultured dairy resembling crème fresh more than American sour cream. Borscht is but a vehicle for the sour cream in...

From your replies I suspect my word play and feeble attempts at irony have failed. For the record, there is no known relationship between borscht and corned beef and cabbage except they are both...

Tonight, being St. Patrick's Day, our meal is the traditional one eaten by Jews of Irish descent or those like me with Irish surnames that were gifted to their progenitors when passing through Ellis...

Blech.
