My boss just showed me this video, and I had the eerie feeling that I had just stepped in to one of Fabius’ or El Cid’s wet dreams … complete with creepy music. Just watch the video, and you’ll know what I mean. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, it’s the first commercially available jetpack. Produced by [...]
It was predicted. It was feared. All the conditions are perfect, and now … it’s here. No, I’m not talking about the impending blizzard and its feet of snow with which our nation’s capitol will be punished. Nor am I talking about the latest bit of esoteric east-European catastrophic political hub-bub that only Jacobus and [...]
If you’re like me and have signed up for the daily Art of Manliness emails (and if you haven’t, then, in the words of Horatius, you’re stupid), you just received a very helpful and informative bit of information. The boys over at AoM have decided to start a new series entitled Essential Man Knowledge in which fundamental gaps [...]
Quick context and then I’ll let the rest of this speak for itself. As I was perusing that arena for intellectually stimulating free distribution of ideas (of course I’m talking about facebook here), I came across a thread from a friend’s profile upon which two “enlightened” women were talking about how insensitive and barbaric the sorry [...]
In the spirit of Fabius’ call to remembrance of oft forgotten days of national significance, I thought I would send out a friendly reminder that today is the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. Why is this significant to the average American Joe, you may ask. Because under the title of the Immaculate Conception, Mary was proclaimed [...]
I just got a hold of a story about two twin Italian archaeologist brothers (sounds like a bad movey starring Tom Hanks and Nicolas Cage, huh?) who have located the lost army of Persian King Cambyses II. Now, I’m not a big history buff like Fabius or El Cid, but I do love a good legend. And [...]
So. It’s been a long, long time coming, but I finally made it back. I would like to thank the all-powerful and ever-merciful webmaster for taking my extenuating circumstances in to consideration and not banishing me from the official cast of gadflies. For those of you who don’t know about the extenuating circumstances, suffice it [...]
But having received this article very soon after my recent tirade , I feel as if it’s my duty to pass it along. It seems that not only overly critical English teachers have had enough of our culture’s sense of entitlement; now sociologists are joining our ranks as well, going so far as to entitle their most [...]
With the freedom of a three day weekend on the horizon, it’s easy to lose sight of the true meaning of Memorial Day. Barbecue - or in my family’s case, fried raviolis and hard salami made from scratch – can often replace the true purpose of this holiday in our minds. For a quick remedy to this problem, just read this great [...]
A lot has been said on this site regarding our country’s recent economic plans, the differing notions of “torture,” abortion (of course what would a conservative blog be without abortion?), and the general decline of our culture in to a buzzing, whirling, blur of insanity. Many of my fellow gadflies have approached these issues head [...]
