Capriciously stubborn or eccentric; perverse; “The crochety old man wrote a blog and no one cared.”

The illegitimate child of Dave Barry and Glenn Beck. Humor about politics, customer service (good and bad,) the latest trends in culture, and getting back at that guy that flipped you off in traffic—the absurdities of life are treated with absurdity, and given the respect, or lack of respect, they deserve.

More hilarity from the Dems. Here we are, 14 months before the election and we're having to listen to a bunch of Democrats expounding on why they're better suited to being President than anyone else. Having debates this early in the process is self-defeating. By the time the election rolls around, it will feel like we've been listening to these bozos for 14 months and...Oh yeah, right. Anyway, it's like seeing Christmas goods appearing on store shelves earlier and earlier every year. Pretty...

Another item buried in the New York Times Asia/Pacific World news section caught my eye today. An Indian judge named Radhabinod Pal is being honored more and more by the Japanese government and the Japanese press. Judge Pal was one of 11 presiding judges in the Tokyo Trials after World War II. The International Military Tribunal for the Far East, its official title, prosecuted war crimes of the Japanese military and government. The Tribunal classified crimes in three categories: Class C...
