Not to mention a working time machine when it is completed.

How do you know it hasn't, huh? Huh? Innit?

Apparently like some show named Umbrella had a like technical difficulty when someone named something didn't get something right and then like Olivia somebody showed up to sing with someone else (sensation) wearing a t-shirt. Then like Jon the Bat and Jack Meoff came on and some group complained the...

Or H G Wells masterminded the Apollo space program

This week will be 40 years exactly since I moved to the US. I thought it would be for three months but I'm lazy - they kept paying me so I thought I'd stay a while. I'm not a citizen so I don't vote - still pay $2000 every few years for my green card - I have never felt the urge to become a citizen...

If, as several Republican presidential hopefuls recently urged, the United States were to use military force against Mexico’s drug cartels, is it at all likely that we would win that war? No, because it's unwinnable. Mexico is a sovereign nation at peace with the USA. To invade Mexico would be an a...

Well, you'd better see Mr. Bounder about that.

Mrs Mc and I drove there Sunday evening after boarding a dog

And then some adenoidal typists from Birmingham with diarrhea and flabby white legs and hairy bandy-legged wop waiters called Manuel, and then, once a week there's an excursion to the local Roman ruins where you can buy cherry-ade and melted ice cream and bleedin' Watney's Red Barrel, and then one n...

Yes, Econo. I recognized it immediately. The Missouri battlefields are on my bucket list. Managed Arkansas a year or so ago and fitted in a visit to the St Louis arsenal and the General Nathaniel Lyon park on the way through MO. Also visited a graveyard there to (successfully) find the almost unfind...

Ooh! Ooh! I've got this one!

On the 'Russiagate" scandal in the 2016 election. For me that was using an obsolete paradigm. There was no need for Russia to 'collude' with Trump. Well Snail, that was rather the point. NPR didn't see it that way and they eagerly piled on. Persistent rumors that the Trump campaign colluded with Ru...

https://www.thefp.com/p/npr-editor-how-npr-lost-americas-trust You know the stereotype of the NPR listener: an EV-driving, Wordle-playing, tote bag–carrying coastal elite. It doesn’t precisely describe me, but it’s not far off. I’m Sarah Lawrence–educated, was raised by a lesbian peace activist mot...

Maj Gen'l sir, did your male child show you this? snailgate.

No sir! He's 48 years old and knows better

Many years ago I stopped smoking indoors - in the house, anyone's house, at work, in the car. Spent a lot of time in the great outdoors. I finally "quit smoking for Jesus" when I became a Christian. Then again a month later. And again a week later. And again. . . my wife went through hell with my ba...
