There aren’t enough stars in the sky for this comment.

I think unions are a good thing, they clearly define roles and responsibilities for all parties and allow two large organizations (companies & workers) to agree on how to handle large swaths of issues. The problem with a lot of them is they are still fighting the Battle of the Overpass. They haven’t changed their…

Alton Brown has been my culinary guardar el camino for nearly a decade now. He’s made me a better cook than I have any right to be.

Between this and LaPeirre’s comments at CPAC, it’s clear the NRA is completely divorced from reality. If they had even an modicum of common sense, they should be able to see the train coming down the track.

I travel a lot for work. If I’m alone, I’ll ask the front desk “where would you take your parents for (insert food item) that’s local.” I can eat at a chain anywhere, I want local stuff.

My son started an anti-violence group at his high school about a month ago. He has publicly shamed elected officials into meeting with the group and getting resources as they were stonewalling him before.

This is great advice for a job search as well. I was out of a job for a couple months last year, and structured my “work” day as if I was still clocking in. I’d wake up with the rest of the house (working wife and kids in school), get them out the door, go for a run, eat, clean up, then report to work - which was job…

Thanks for this. My high school age son is so fed up with gun violence in schools, he started a group in his school to address it. When local and state politicians wouldn’t meet with them, he publicly shamed them in an editorial in the paper that got a lot of run and now they want to meet. I’ll pass it along to him…

You forgot the greatest brother/sister skating pair ever, Stranz and Fairchild Van Waldenberg.

Use them instead of bread crumbs: 

Hey I got the numbers 10 and 34 in the post, isn’t that worth some credit? Sorry I had them misplaced.

I think this applies to everyone. Back in the day, cable had to be bundled because there were hardwired switches that needed to be set for individual houses to get programming. In today’s market, it takes a couple clicks for me to get the specific programs I want. I would watch more Lions football if I could get only…

I’ve drifted away from the NFL, and in talking to friends, I’m not the only one. Ten years ago, I was a die hard Lions fan. I had season tickets and when they weren’t in town, I was planted on the couch from Sunday noon until the end of MNF. Since then, I’ve moved out of state. I briefly contemplated Sunday Ticket or…

If you will be cooking at home, what will you be cooking?

You can stay within the sport and country. Watch “The Bronze” for the best Olympic sporting sex ever.

As a young 2LT many years ago, I had a Serbian national in my platoon. He had overstayed his student visa and enlisted as a way to get more time in the US and try and find another way to stay. The Army was looking for native speakers to act as interpreters, so he took the assignment as a way to continue to serve and…

I’ve been a comic book nerd for 30+ years. I was big into it in the 80s and 90s but have been more selective recently. My wife is a teacher and can identify most mainstream heroes and loved the Reeves Superman, but that’s about it. After we got married, she read a few of my comics and enjoyed them, but it wasn’t her…

Can you do China next? I’ve traveled there a couple times and am always looking for pointers.

Growing up, my mom never made tuna casserole. The only place I got it was my best friend’s house. It got to the point where his mom would make a small one for me to take home when she made it for the family (and oh, hey look, shellandflame stopped by dinner again). My wife refuses to make it now as well.

I think this both coaches are going to try and use that line as a “get out of jail free” card. They did exactly what was asked of them by the administration, no more no less. The fact that “someone else” decided to let the player off isn’t in the coach’s wheelhouse. Its an absolutely shitheel way to weasel out of…
