Tomorrow is Talk Like a Pirate Day. Should I wear my swashbuckler gear to work tomorrow? Since I work at a public school, I'm concerned that as an ordained Pastafarian cleric, I might violate the separation of church and state? Or should I just go as a purely secular pirate? Continue reading

It seems the Trump administration will not consider children born to US parents overseas citizens. If I'm reading it correctly, parents will have to apply to have their children naturalized. Now, how many married servicemembers or diplomats will want to continue to serve under those conditions? Does it also mean... Continue reading

I finished the Hurricane! Overall, I'm happy with it, but I did make some mistakes. The cockpit canopy is misaligned, for example, and the soft plastic nubs for attaching the radio antenna wire broke, so I had to leave that off. I also destroyed one of the squadron insignias, so... Continue reading

What a total dick. “That was a big day, Medal of Honor. Nothing like the Medal of Honor,” he continued. “I wanted one, but they told me I don't qualify, Woody. I said, 'Can I give it to myself anyway?' They said, 'I don't think that's a good idea.'” Continue reading

I finally started the Hawker Hurricane I that's been sitting in my stack of models, and its just as complicated as I thought. It took me three weeks to build out the cockpit. The parts are so small and delicate, I'd add a piece, and wait at a minimum of... Continue reading

I was listening to the BBC this morning, and heard about the Russian aircraft that managed a crash landing after the plane's engines ingested A Flock of Seagulls. Everyone on board survived. Not so sure about the band. Continue reading

DOJ policy that a sitting president cannot be indicted is the only reason why Trump isn't in the dock right now. BUCK: Let me just stop. You made the decision on the Russian interference [conspiracy]. You couldn’t have indicted the president on that. And you made the decision on that.... Continue reading

This is actually the correct course of inaction. However, it will make him look weak in the eyes of his rabid followers, and frankly, that's a good thing! Continue reading

They're seeking Trump's tax returns. Rep. Richard E. Neal (D-Mass.), chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, filed the lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service and the Treasury Department after months of feuding with the Trump administration over the returns. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and IRS Commissioner Charles Rettig,... Continue reading
