The Mother of All BattleTech/Mechwarrior Posts

Actually, the title is far more arrogant than it may appear. From what I can tell there is a huge underground community, mostly in Europe, who still play the Battletech board game. It sounds like there are people out there who secrety yearn for the days that House Davion or House Kurita ruled the [...]

We had the pleasure of having my wife’s friend “Kerrick”, from Star Wars Galaxies up for the weekend. I had some trepidation about having someone from “online” come up for an extended visit, but with everything my wife has told me about him, it seemed like an ok thing.
Luckily, the gamble worked out ok. He [...]

Oh, the horror, the terrorists at GITMO are starving themselves… oh no… whatever shall we do. (sarcasm)
(Yahoo) Defense lawyers said the hunger strike, which began last year, reflects increasing frustration among men who have little contact with the world outside the remote prison.

It’s Memorial Day weekend. If I was still living in Utah this would mean that the family would be getting ready to go down to the Farmington City Cemetery. Every year, we placed flowers and flags on the graves of our family’s death.
However, I’m not in Utah, and haven’t been for a number of years [...]

Hey Democrats, de-Nile ain’t just a river in Egypt. So while you slapped that wide paintbrush of “corruption” around, it was nice of you to make sure that you painted yourselves into a corner you couldn’t get out of.
Not that a Democrat has ever done anything corrupt or wrong. We’ve never had a Democrat murder [...]

STOP S.2611
May 22, 2006 | 1 Comment
From American Daughter:
The Senate is poised to pass S. 2611 this week, the giant amnesty bill that would change the demographics of our country and start us on the slide into rampant crime, drug culture, and third world poverty. Every thinking American is needed at this moment to phone, fax, or visit their United States Senators [...]
