Weekend Weirdness, Volume VII

November 29, 2009Burt Likko

Yeah, I pretty much took off the weekend, except to talk about food.  But I wasn’t going to leave you without your weirdness.  100% apolitical this weekend. Consider, for example, the transvestite (female dressing as male) jazz musician who over… Continue Reading →

Food Tips For The Holiday

November 26, 2009Burt Likko 2 Comments

Tip #1: If you’re just having a few people for your Thanksgiving, you only need a turkey breast or a small ham. I used a 7-pound turkey breast and when I got it home, it was frozen solid and in… Continue Reading →

Plymouth, Massachusetts Bay Colony, 1620

November 26, 2009Burt Likko 4 Comments

I can feel confident that everyone reading this has one thing in common: internet access. That means that everyone reading this also has at least access to a computer. This means that everyone reading this possesses at least sufficient affluence… Continue Reading →

Deferred Success

November 25, 2009Burt Likko

Sometimes it’s hard to tell parody from what it’s parodying. Take this for instance: Now, I found this on comedy site failblog.org.   That’s a good place to go to see things like people not setting their parking brakes, teenagers… Continue Reading →

A Sweet Dinner At The White House

November 25, 2009Burt Likko 2 Comments

It seems hard to believe that there hasn’t been an official state dinner at the White House yet during the Obama Administration.  I thought those were fairly regular sorts of occurrences for visiting ambassadors and heads of state of other… Continue Reading →

Weekend Weirdness, Volume VI

November 22, 2009Burt Likko 1 Comment

Vikings Fans Are Everywhere These Days

November 21, 2009Burt Likko

A National Guard unit from Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin deployed to Iraq has encountered an unusual problem — the Iraqi detainees under its custody have made known their affection for Minnesota Vikings quarterback Brett Favre.  If the fact that Iraqi terrorist… Continue Reading →

Senator Giuliani

November 20, 2009Burt Likko 3 Comments

So it appears that Rudy! Giuliani will run for Senate in 2010 and not Governor of New York.  This, I think, is not a good use of his skill set.  Rudy! is an executive; he has no experience in a… Continue Reading →

Yesterday’s News

November 20, 2009Burt Likko 3 Comments

This is one of the more conservative corners of California that I live in.  A Democrat hasn’t been elected to represent this area in generations.  The central industry here is building aircraft for the Air Force and the nation’s premier… Continue Reading →

Six Options

November 19, 2009Burt Likko 2 Comments

I’m as committed as ever to the idea of due process.  I have plenty of intellectual companionship in saying that a trial is the right thing to do because indefinite detention is not a good option, and that we should… Continue Reading →
