If you're afraid you're doing something that's going to get your kids taken away from you, then you should probably have your kids taken away from you.

As a child whose mother failed to protect her from abusive stepfathers/boyfriends, I say fuck her. Children are utterly defenseless and can't leave an abusive situation under their own power. This woman's kids didn't choose her shitty boyfriend.

It is SO hard for me to subscribe to this theory. I want to be generous of spirit and forgiving, but my sympathy well is close to dry. It's hard for a child to accidentally get burned, repeatedly, and burns are exceedingly painful and scary. If the moms are, for whatever reason, unable to protect their children, maybe…

"Well, I dunno," Williams says, innocently. "You have a crazy-ass job, sir."

I loved watching this man get progressively more pissed off. She's so delightfully ballsy, even for a Daily Show reporter.

She tourniquets her arm at the elbow with an ice pick and towel, washes the blood off, puts the offending knife onto the gas fire, heats it to a nice brick red and...wait for it...cauterize her own arm.

It's a tactic used by off-roaders, and I'm sure it's much more effective with large off road tires than normal car tires.

I want a thermos with "I have an educational blog" printed on it. I feel like that would get me as close as I can get to greatness.

So ladies? Who's it gonna be?

"I have an educational blog" has to be a close second to "I sell monogrammed thermoses," right?

With a little luck, those Chinese destroyers..I mean Coast Guard ships..will sink Japanese whaling..I mean Research..ships.

I think you nailed it at the end. It's a way to build a warship to control an area without building a warship to control an area. :) I'm surprised they didn't stick VLS tubes on this thing.

It sounds like she caught the flue.

Historically speaking, Russia has ad better success with these kinds of solutions. Look at the BTR-50 IFV, ZSU-23-4 anti-aircraft gun, ASU-85 self propelled gun and 2k12 Kub SAM launcher, all based on the PT-76 light tank hull.

But will it blend?

Russia didn't start with the idea of building their heavy vehicles off a Canadian 8x8. They're working with a medium tank as the base.

Well, if there's one thing we've proven, it's that one-size-fits-all platforms definitely save money and simplify procurement. It's definitely the way to go.

So one of the biggest influences of my life was Topgun instructor and photographer C.J. Heatley. After buying his book of incredible Naval Aviation photography when I was a kid -way back in 1986- I vowed to be either a photographer or a Navy pilot or both if I could! My lack of 20/20 vision dashed the pilot dream but …
