Another gem from this Steyn book:

In a more culturally confident age, the British in India were faced with the practice of "suttee" -- the tradition of burning widows on the funeral pyres of their husbands. Gen. Sir Charles Napier was impeccably multicultural:

"You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: When men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks, and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."

I'm reading Mark Steyn's book, "America Alone". There've been dozens of things that made me laugh out loud while alone -- that's my personal hallmark for when something is Really Fucking Funny.

...but this one takes the cake. I never noticed that the name for Kim Il Jong's missile project is "No Dong". That's just fucking killer humor. I could hope that their codename for their nuke project is "No Bang" or "No Balls"...

Steyn mentions that the nutjob is eager to sell to other countries, and he forsees problems if the president of Sudan announces proudly to his people that he has No Dong....

Seriously, doesn't this sound like something that should have been in Sixteen Candles? I'm sure Long Duck Dong's brother is named No Dong, and somehow movie reality has bled in over here.

I took my youngest to the new Bond movie this weekend. If you ever liked any Bond movie for any reason at all, you'll like this one.

It was edgy, cool, hard as nails, and respectful to the franchise. It had the most intense physical fighting action since the train car fight in "From Russia With Love". Mollster even winced at the opening battle -- very uncharacteristic for her. She loved the movie, too. Now I have to show her the rest.

It was wonderful.

I'm carefully not discussing the Bond girl in this one. :-)

Nothing beats hot girls with firearms.

...and minewhine outshot me with BOTH of my handguns on Saturday. Wish I had an image of her
75 foot target while using my Buckmark.

She totally kicked ass for her first time handgunning.

If I throw a housewarming/new pretty girl party, will y'all:

1) Appear,
2) Not wreck the place like old times,
3) Not steal the girl......?

Can anyone tell me why it's so freaking difficult to buy bottles of brandy and sweet vermouth that are sized appropriately so that I'm not always half done with one when I run out of the other?

It's like some weird bottling conspiracy to keep me coming back to the liquor store. Don't they know I'm Irish? I don't need additional reasons!

You can ignore this, if ya want.

This is a test.
