Visiting my parents this weekend, I was greeted by a black lab who couldn’t contain her joy, Mom’s cooking, and a pile of junk mail from the various progressive organizations that will continue to have my childhood address on file until I retire. Eyes half open after the late night four hour drive from [...]
Once the Iggles got eliminated from the playoffs, I figure out which teams I would hate to see win a Super Bowl the most, and root against them. This year having Dallas in the Playoffs made them public enemy number one. So going against everything that I usually stand for, I actually pulled for the [...]
Man, Tom Cruise is bat-shit insane (I know, new discovery). There was a video posted on Youtube on Sunday that was taken during his indoctrination into Scientology, but it was removed from due to a copyright infringement. I guess the Church of Scientology International holds the copyright to this little nugget. Thanks to [...]
There are a lot of shows that I dislike on

truly enjoy watching, at least two are reality shows rather than actual cooking segments. One of these is Dinner: Impossible. That show begins its new season tonight, and next week the show [...]
I told you all that Chef Robert Irvine was here on base this year to tape an episode of Dinner: Impossible for the Air Force’s 60th Anniversary Ball. The air date for this show is 23 January. Don’t Miss It! I know several of his assistants personally!
"If we do not recognize that God was made man, what sense does it have to celebrate Christmas?" asked the Holy Father at his weekly public audience on December 19.
Benedict XVI is truly a prophet in our times. Now more than ever, this is a question we as a society must ask ourselves during this time of year. Anyone reading this article knows how much opposition secular society has towards the Christian joy of the Nativity. Ironically, a society that prides itself on tolerance and pluralism is quite intolerant and narrow-minded on the true meaning of Christmas.
Christmas without Christ is as and impossible as it would be celebrating Independence Day as slaves or subjects. The celebration without its true meaning actually becomes a mockery of the real holiday. It is also truly sad when it is used mainly for material gain and exchange, as it seems to be so common in our times.
The Pope urges Christians to persist in proclaiming the truth, and speak about the reason for Christmas j

Today marks the beginning of the Annapolis conference which supposedly will deal with issues related to resolving the Israel-Palestinian conflict. After seven years of doing very little about this issue, President Bush is now claiming a great interest in resolving a complex problem. His failure to push hard on the Israel government in order to [...]
I think we as a society tend to limit the potential of people by using the word “impossible.” Whenever I talk about retiring VERY early people tend to just smile and nod and you can almost see the thought behind their eyes of “this guy is trying to do the impossible, he is crazy.” [...]

If Cebest is still alive, I want to buy him cute dog apparel and many more delicious dog food. I would buy Luxury Dog Products for him if the price is reasonable, not expensive. Cebest only had 2 pieces of clothing and 2 pairs of shoes. When I come across any pet [...]
Ratatouille, a new movie from Pixar Studios, is a wonderful story about Remy, a rat who—inspired by a book titled Anyone Can Cook—sets out to become a gourmet French chef. Substitute any other seemingly impossible dream for the word "cook" and you have the general theme of the movie. The inspiring ending more than makes up for some slow pacing earlier in the film.What makes the movie so special is that Remy’s ordinariness and “rat-ness” give him an appreciation for the simple, common, and ordinary aspects of food. When he chooses to cook ratatouille—dismissed in the movie as a “peasant food”—in the movie’s climactic scene, he has intuitively chosen the perfect dish for the moment.Many of the scenes in Ratatouille, which I went to see over the weekend, are just amazing. The French gourmet kitchen where Remy, the rat with culinary dreams, ends up working is an elaborate, highly kinetic—even breath-taking—environment. Scenes of Paris at night are rendered more beau
Some of my “A” list betters have noted that this is the fourth anniversary of Dubya’s “Bring ‘em on” quote to the terrorists while the Iraq war had only been waged for a couple of months in 2003 (after “formal hostilities” had ended, of course – and we knew we’d won because of the scripted fall of Saddam Hussein’s statue, a shamelessly manufactured media moment intended for immediate consumption back home).In my quest to find some story or some means of comment that I thought was appropriate, I came across this from The Boston Globe about the opening of a brand-new, 107,000-square-foot hospital at Balad Air Base to replace the Air Force Theater Hospital, a sprawling complex of tents that, to date, has housed Iraq’s premier trauma center (a place where our service people, as well as innocent Iraqis and insurgents alike, have received care primarily as a result of the latter group “bringing it on” in response to Dubya’s comment; it’s tough to choose the st

Diane Scharper reviews Mario Vargas Llosa's essay book The Temptation of the Impossible.
Known to Americans primarily as the author of The Hunchback of Notre Dame and Les Miserables, Victor Hugo (1802-1885) is considered France's greatest poet and one of its greatest prose writers. Hugo's stature, according to The Temptation of the Impossible by Mario Vargas Llosa, is due mainly to the impact of
