I was scrolling down the feed, so the headline showed up at the bottom of my screen before I saw the picture or the opening paragraph, and my brain filled in an image of Gohmert before the feed caught up. Who else would it be?

Makes me think of Amadeus: “One hears such sounds and all one can think is, ‘Salieri.’”  In…

That is not really an apples-to-apples comparison, though. AT&T provides a service, but the film business essentially provides commodities, and those commodities provide revenues for other services. The global revenues for home video in 2017 were around $70 million, and much of that builds off the same commodities…

You left off the all-important lead in:

Right, I just bought hot dogs in a pack of twelve. But nobody sells just twelve tires.

Missing this step: remove the guanciale from the pan after it browns, and drain it on paper towels while you continue cooking the sauce.   Add it back just before serving.   That preserves crunchiness which brings the dish to the next level. 

Nothing wrong with that!

I don’t know. . . This particular oil has all the aroma that I need:

+1 Gilbert Gottfried. 

Those soldiers may seem a bit tame by today’s standards, but twenty years ago they were truly revolutionary, and the AI was unlike anything else that FPS fans had encountered before. I still have moments from that first play through seared into my brain. Getting pinned down by one while the rest flanked me was…

“I have reached out to Rep. Fudge’s office to see how she feels about being labeled a ‘really competent female’ and will update this story if she replies.”

The fact that true American heroes like Barbara Lee, Wayne Morse, & Ernest Gruening are not known as such by the majority of Americans explains everything that you need to know about this country.  Lee’s speech explaining her opposition should be taught in schools.

Jeff Passolt, who is a television news personality in the Twin Cities, did the voice of Jerry Burns for many bits on the KQRS radio morning show. One of them was “coach uncle Burnsie” reading his version of The Night Before Christmas, and unfortunately I cannot find it on YouTube. It is a riot. They bleeped where he…

As a municipal government official in a small town in Wisconsin, I can vouch for what a disaster Walker has been — and like Trump, many of the people the most negatively affected by his agenda continue to support him! That baffles me beyond belief. Like many small communities, we have a referendum next spring to…

He did not just interview Ford; he interviewed Howard Hawks as well, and wrote the best book ever about the man: Hawks on Hawks. To this day, I always pull that book off the shelf every time I watch a Hawks movie to use as reference.

He is not just still alive, he is “only” 84 years old.  He should be 104 by now.

We stayed in Osaka when we visited Japan in 2006, and I took this picture while there — but I think that this was in Fuji City, not Osaka. Memories fade. . .

So many people are completely ignorant of the genuine old-school hatred between the whitest of the whites. I am a true Scandinavian mongrel, and I am also third & fourth generation American (depending which side of the family that you look at,) so that old feud is quaint to me, but it was very real for preceding…

Logging is actually the most dangerous occupation in America nearly every year in terms of both death & injury, so it makes sense that they just want to spread that to non-loggers.

I try to live by the principle that if there is the potential for a horror movie style accident, however remote, that is a good enough reason not to be there when it happens.
