Laser Ship. Laser Ship! LASER SHIP!!

Two years ago, I wrote this about the U.S. Navy’s plan to develop ship-mounted lasers that could light other ships on fire and shoot missiles from the air. That, folks, is not the best part of this story. I know it may seem like it is, what the the images you now have in your [...]

Return of the Pillories and Four People We Should Put in Them Today

Once upon a time, we had a way to punish miscreants who broke minor laws or did something so amazingly stupid that the community felt a need to make a public example of them so that others would be less inclined to break the law or be quite so dumb. Pillories. The stocks. Public shame [...]

The Delivery Presents – Cheesecake and Failure

Episode 175, the episode in which I succumb to my baser instincts and talk about hot chicks, was a dream to make thanks to my first-half guest Ruth of Misfit Politics (@Missruth1021). We chatted about the Misfette pinup calendar and why conservatives ought to break out the hot-cha-cha a bit more often. Second half shenanigans [...]

Happy Thanksgiving! The last two shows were pretty heavy, so we were due for something more light and enjoyable in Episode 174. Honestly, I don’t know how in the world anyone brings the weighty politics on a Thanksgiving show. Fie on anyone who does, I say. I have a lot for which to be thankful, [...]

I am one of those Star Trek fans who hated the J.J. Abrams reboot movie. I know, I know. Bad geek. Bad, bad geek! How could I not like the new rugged Kirk, the sexy Uhura, the analytic but kick-ass Spock, the very Bones-y Bones? When I want to watch an action movie, I’ll choose from any [...]

How About Some Amateur Rock Drumming? Say Yes, Please!

If you have a couple hours to kill one evening, click over to YouTube and search for song covers made my amateur musicians. Sure, you’ll see a lot of junk, but if you’re patient and your search-fu is strong, you’ll find some amazing performances. I went YouTube prospecting a few weeks ago and found a [...]

Denial Isn’t Just a River in China…And Neither are 28,000 Others

jimmiebjr | April 3, 2013 | Reply

China’s rivers are disappearing. After a three-year survey by the nation’s Ministry of Water Resourses, China has some 28,000 fewer rivers than everyone believed it had. Of course, the previous figure of roughly 50,000 was an official government number, and we all know we can trust the Chinese government to dispense accurate and timely information [...]
