I hate to say "I told you so", but...

Taboo against nuclear arms is challenged in Japan

It was only a matter of time before others were looking to attain the supposed shield of deterrence. It also shows how short the memory of the Japanese is, being the only victim of nuclear attack and all...

Found a wonderful piece at USS Clueless on the political and military difference between the EU & the US. Apparently, the French can be snotty and superior because of us...

India plans war within two weeks: "One officer said he believed there was only the "slimmest chance" of nuclear weapons being used. "We will call Pakistan's nuclear bluff," he said. "It [the nuclear factor] cannot deter us any more."

It's said that "in the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king."

Hmmm.....nope, no royalty here.....

Someone pass the crow, please...

Well, in a stunner, the Carolina Hurricanes won Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals in overtime. The game was played pretty fast & loose, so I expect Detroit to play Game 2 very tight defensively with some ferrocious forechecking. Look out, punks, the old timers can still play!

Found today in my e-mail:

There's no "I" in "team", but there are three "I's" in "multiple personality disorder."
Thanks, Top5.com!

Well, it going to be a short Stanley Cup series (that's hockey top trophy for all of you neophytes). Detroit will tear into Carolina tomorrow night. My personal opinion is that the only reason Carolina made it so far was a series of flukes in which all of the good teams beat themselves up. Carolina got where it did in a kind of Darwinian "last man standing" thing. Detroit has like eight future Hall-of-Famers on their team, and in the Cup, experience matters. Wings in five games (hey, I gotta throw Carolina a bone & let them win one, don't I?).


 
Oh yeah, today is the four-month anniversary of this blog. Punch & pie will be served later.


 
I simply must remember to send those nice people at AOL a thank-you card. In the past couple of months, they've sent me several of those nifty silver coasters. If only they didn't have a hole in the middle...


 
Ok, I just had a really weird encounter with my new upstairs neighbor. Nice guy, just wanted to borrow my phone to order pizza. In the process of ordering, he
  • introduced himself to me no less than seven times throughout the conversation
  • told me the same story about how his ex-wife runs all of the Handimart stores in the area twice
  • told me the same story about an encounter he had with a thug while changing a tire for some stranded women at said store three times
  • flagrantly flirted with the woman answering phones at the pizza delivery place in an over-the-top-used-car-salesman kinda way
  • and on his way out, asked if he could give me a hug
All that in under five minutes. I don't know what to make of him. I have the impression he was coming on to me, but I'm not sure. In any case, I'm a little creeped out by the whole hug-thing...

After seeing the title of this post, my first thought was "Hey, lay off Ponch!"

It just proves that you can take the child out of the 80's, but you can never take the 80's out of the child...

No need to be alarmed, I'm just playing with the template. This may change as well...
