One of life's little pleasures
If you have to get up earlier than your wife, and you're sleepily moving around in the dark bedroom as you get dressed, take the following steps:
- Stop
- Bend over your sleeping wife.
- Nuzzle up to her.
- Give her several soft kisses while you inhale her scent and absorb the warmth of the bed.
It will warm you up and comfort you for the whole day.
Motörhead | No Sleep 'Til Hammersmith
If someone had asked me if I like Metal, I would have answered, "Some."
This doesn't fall into that category.
The War on Drugs | Lost in the Dream
I like this quite a bit: sometimes channeling Springsteen, sometimes Dylan, but most often in a cool, chill melodic way. This album was released in early 2014.
Why Oklahoma Lawmakers Want to Ban AP US History -- NYMag →
This is just downright scary.
Representative Dan Fisher, who introduced the bill, lamented during Monday's hearing that the new AP U.S. History framework emphasizes "what is bad about America" and doesn't teach "American exceptionalism."
I'm proud of my country and believe we've done more good than harm over our short history, but that doesn't mean we're always above reproach. It certainly doesn't mean we can't have our kids casting a critical eye on our past, not to mention present and future.
Krieger complained that the [AP] framework portrays the Founding Fathers as "bigots" and suggests that Manifest Destiny was "built on a belief in white racial superiority and a sense of American cultural superiority," rather than "the belief that America had a mission to spread democracy and new technology across the continent," as he put it.
Nope, Mr. Kreiger, the AP framework is closer to being right.
Let's allow our kids to learn from the past (even the bad stuff) so they don't repeat our mistakes.
Bruce Springsteen | Darkness on the Edge of Town
It's not my favorite Bruce, but he's not in danger of being fired as the BOSS.
Chicken at the 7-11
I was told that this Napa Valley chicken hangs outside the 7-11 all the time.
My theory is she's underage and is trying to get folks to buy her booze and smokes.
Everyone sings when Bob Marley sings
There's no more aptly titled album than Bob Marley's Legend. The sound and the man are ingrained in our musical culture.
Everyone sings when Bob Marley sings.
Bob Marley would have been 70 years old on February 6th.
Why do these targets still exist if we know where they are?
A few days ago, Egypt launched air strikes against ISIS targets in Libya, striking weapons caches and training camps. The strikes were in retaliation for the execution style murders of Egyptian Coptic Christians.
A few weeks ago, in revenge for the murder of a Jordanian pilot, Jordan conducted an air campaign against "ISIS's weapon depots, training centres, warehouses and military barracks."
The United States has been conducting an air campaign against ISIS since last Fall.
Why are there any worthwhile ISIS targets left?
I think it's time ISIS ceased to exist as a viable military force. Yes, I know defeating them and retaking the ground they have conquered will take more, preferably International, military and diplomatic efforts. We will ultimately need to deal with the situation that encouraged dangerous religious fanaticism to grow. BUT, there is no reason we can't wipe their traditional military capability off the map.
X-Ray Spex | Germ Free Adolescents #1001Albums #music
If you're a REBEL, feel disenfranchised, feel powerless in society or even against your own thoughts... or you're in love, THIS is the album for you. It's a class in what Punk was like but how old do you need to be to get the title of "Warrior in Woolworths"?
