Mmmmmm... Finger-Lickin' Good! |
| Posted by: tony on 04/29/2006 11:14 AM (Read: ) |
 On September 11, 2001, four groups of terrorists boarded planes, hijacked them. Three of them flew them into the twin towers of the former World Trade Center, and one flew it into the Pentagon, killing thousands of our fellow Americans and those international visitors who were enjoying our hospitality.
On one of those planes, the people found their steel. This was Flight 93. The people foiled the plans of the terrorists and in the ensuing struggle gave their lives.
For this we thank them.
Our troops were then deployed to Afghanistan and Iraq to take the war to our enemies rather than wait for them to take the war to us. This is prudent. It keeps our families safe. For that we owe a debt of gratitude to our brave men and women who volunteered to fight for that which we hold dear. Some of our citizens on the left don't seem to think that this is a worthwhile venture. I disagree. They call us "chickenhawks".
Captain Ed at The Captain's Quarters is mobilizing the 101st Fighting Keyboardists. I say this is a worthwhile venture. The Captain says:
And why the chicken hawk? When we looked into it, it turns out that the chicken hawk is a pretty impressive predator. It's the largest of its family. This species vigorously defends its territory, getting even more aggressive when the conditions get harshest. It adapts to all climates. Most impressively, it feeds on chickens, mice, and rats. [ed. - The Captain didn't include the links. I did.]
I love chicken. I guess that puts me in pretty good company.
I'm going to enlist if the Captain will have me. I would be honored to wear the 101st Fighting Keyboardist badge on my weblog.
Correction: Captain Midnight reminds me that there were two planes that flew into the twin towers. Of course there were. I must have been thinking of three planes flying into the twin towers and pentagon when I wrote that. Duh. Thanks Cap. |

Wierdnesses Corrected, Hopefully |
| Posted by: tony on 04/29/2006 11:07 AM (Read: ) |
Well, there was something strange happening in my database that didn't allow my words of wisdom to be seen on the main page (yes, I can hear the cheering from here :)).
I've decided to scrap the 22 posts that were originally there, and start over. All of the members of my blogroll are still going to be there (whether you want to or not :)).
Haloscan is history, so all of your older comments are going to be gone. If there were any comment threads hanging out there on previous blog posts, I'll leave them up and let the discussions continue.
Again, sorry for the inconvenience and thanks so much for your patronage. |

There's More to Being a Man Than Being "Macho" |
| Posted by: tony on 03/26/2006 11:07 PM (Read: ) |
One of the main foci of this blog (besides poking fun at radical feminists) is to try and qualify what "being a man" is all about, and what it means to be a "manly man".
Joel, at On the Other Foot has a great article that describes just that.
Joel writes:
As a man, you are stronger physically than women. You are also bigger than they are and hence intimidating to them, if only on a subconscious level. Never loom over them, never yell at them, never treat them as though they were men. (On the other side of the coin, don't condescend to them either. They're small, not dumb.) Bear in mind that you have all the equipment and strength necessary at any moment to overpower and violate any woman. It's therefore vital that you conduct yourself in a way that makes obvious that you not only wouldn't do something like that, but you'd step in front of a bullet or a grizzly bear to keep her safe. This isn't something you say out loud, but an attitude that stays in the back of your mind.
And there you have it. Read the whole thing. It's quite good. |

Marriage Guide For Men |
| Posted by: tony on 03/19/2006 02:33 PM (Read: ) |
Carlton at Upper Canada Catholic has a great advice for those considering marriage:
As a 30-something male who has been married for 16 years, and who is feeling magnanimous, I have decided to share my learning with younger men considering embarking upon a similar journey of marital bliss. Women, please click here now. Men, for your general edification the following may be duly classified as “lessons learned and duly conferred”:
On Property:
The wedding ceremony seals her entitlement to your assets. When you were single and bought her whimsical gifts, it was your money. Now, when you buy her flowers or a little something, you are “wasting” money. What’s hers is hers and what’s yours is “ours.” Discretionary income spent on your hobbies and pastimes is considered to be of marginal utility to the “family” and will soon become a source of tension. Sorry. At some point she may even tell you not to send her flowers on Valentine’s Day because it’s a waste of money. She is lying. If that delivery man doesn’t show up at her office with a bouquet you are toast. And toast sleeps on the couch.
Read the rest of it. It's great! |
