I think it's newsworthy because the number of Republican Senators who confirmed Flynn is exactly the same number as the number of Democrat Senators who confirmed Flynn. That number being, of course, zero. So, it's newsworthy because Hollywood mega-star Justine Bateman stood up in front of the...

Yeah, on foot.

After reading the article, it seems like a self-imposed temporary ban on field trips due to uncertainty is prudent and reasonable. "So having had that experience in the past, we are just demonstrating due diligence at this period of uncertainty." Makes sense to me. I also think it makes even...

Well, no, it's not a ban at all. The District judge in Washington made sure of that. If it weren't for the judge's restraining order lifting the ban, then refugees from Iran, Iraq, Somalia and Sudan would still be on a 90 day hold, and the 248 from Syria would be on indefinite hold.

I don't know anything about it.

Easy to confuse. It's $80 for a single line (autopay required), and if you have 4 lines at home, like with a family plan, it's $45 per line (so, $180 a month for 4 lines).

Put the notion of running an air conditioner or an electric heater off of batteries, out of your head. It's not practical or feasible. A lot of people have spent a lot of years trying to figure out how to do it. The math and the physics are not on your side. For heat, you want an Espar heater...

Xiggi is known for his remarkable ability for understatement. :D Let's say you get a relatively small air conditioner, say the LG 10,000 BTU unit. It's 1080 Watts, which means it draws 9.6 amps at 115 volts. At 12 volts off batteries via an inverter, that's 99 amps including the 10% for...

50/50 There are plenty of tolerant, liberal, peaceful protesters who are calling for her death on Twitter. Here's her fashion choice from last year's Grammys... where she won "Most Outrageous Look"... Ironically, she's the walking embodiment of diversity. Her father is half Irish and half...

Joy Villa, the 25-year old singer/songwriter from southern California, wore this dress to the Grammys. And Twitter lost it's collective mind. :JC-hysterical:

This week's SNL was very weak. Even Spicey was just more of the same and not very inventive. The only really funny thing in the whole show was in The People's Court sketch where the judge (Cecily Strong) said to Trump in desperate exacerbation, "You're doing too much. OK?! I want just ONE DAY...

I was once parked broadside to the wind at the J in Kingman, AZ and began to wonder if the wind was going to tip me and the Sprinter over. Then I realized that no, that's just silly. A few moments later I sat there and watched the wind rip a trailer from its 5th wheel and blow it over as the...

Refugees that have entered the US since the restraining order was put in place to stop the Executive Order: Iran (84) Iraq (151) Somalia (68) Sudan (24) Syria (248)

I can almost give them a pass because they're a Dominican newspaper. Almost. But that's a pretty amateurish mistake to make. One of my favorite fake news narratives is one that CNN just can't seem to let go of. The one where fake news cost Hillary the election. In order for that to have...

I didn't know Tony all that well. We were in Marching, Symphonic and Jazz bands together, which is a common denominator and and equalizer, but he was 3 years ahead of me in school, so we really didn't hang out in the same social circles outside of the music department. But what was most...

I was a fan of Tony Snow. Not because we were in band together in high school, or because his dad was one of my teachers, but because Tony had journalism in his blood and he was good at it. He was the editor of the school paper, and went on to have a classic career as a print journalist, editor...

It's nearly impossible to be both the White House press secretary and the Communications Director. I have no idea which job Spicer would prefer, but he's spent most of his career in the relative behind-the-scenes public affairs and communications director roles in the Navy and the RNC. The Press...

Ever tried to lubricate wheel bearings with solar?

And now for your moment of musical interlude zen.... Trump's theme song....

The television ratings backs that up. Spicer’s White House briefings have been getting 4.3 million viewers on average, which is higher than real, actual soap operas like The Bold and the Beautiful and General Hospital, which air in the same 1-2 PM time slot. Cable news viewership as a whole...
