46 years ago today (Jan 27, 1967) NASA astronauts Virgil 'Gus' Grissom, Edward White II and Roger Chaffee were lost in a capsule fire during a ground test of the Apollo systems.

It especially bothers me that Grissom's place in history is marred by writer Tom ...

You were a class act, Neil, and an inspiration.

Sail on . . .

I don't necessarily agree with it, but I think there is another side to this story.

Folks who live in cities and towns that provide fire protection services pay for them through their taxes. They have no choice and this makes perfect sense to me. I wouldn't want my home or place of business put at ...

I feel your pain and I don't want to get political either but REAL health care reform was thwarted by some very powerful interests. The package that finally passed through the legislative process was very watered down and a far cry from what this country really needs, which is single payer ...

They were beautiful animals and good friends I'm sure. We have an eight year old Golden named 'Sam'. Sorry for your loss, Skibo.

1) That's what we do in the airline business. Hauling too much extra fuel is a waste of fuel. However, I am committed to surviving the Zombie Apocalypse so I always fill 'er up.

2) I never use half the buttons on my dishwasher (or microwave). You have inspired me to change my ways. I used to save ...

These things are very expensive but they aren't foolproof.

There is already a very obvious way of getting something past a TSA full body scanner without detection - enclosed in a small container placed up the rectum. Fluids, knife blades and many other items can be carried in this fashion and the ...

Most airlines cater to business travelers because business travelers pay the big bucks for seats .

I am an unabashed carry-on flyer. My wheeled carry-on fits just fine in the overhead without a struggle. When I get somewhere for work I have to have appropriate business clothes and I can't just ...

I think there should be a system in place to refund the baggage fees of people whose bags are truly "lost" as in never seen again. Late bags? No. Most airlines undertake to deliver your late bag to you even if you live at the end of a dirt road in Upper Bugtussel.

If you want to go back to a time ...

I don't find this kind of talk very convincing.

All three Abrahamic religions continue to produce extremists who think they know just what God wants and are willing to act on His behalf even including violence if necessary.

The guy in this video has deliberately slanted the debate in his favor by ...

Uh . . . it's a 'guidette' on the left and a 'guido' on the right.

Don't you guys know anything?

It's true. My wife made endless fun of me back then when we were dating, for smelling like "an old man". She married me anyway.

What would you like him to do? Stand up and say "I screwed up and it's all my fault".

Aside from PR, which some folks think he isn't doing enough of, how do you know he isn't giving this problem all the attention it deserves?

We caught two 4th graders "playing nekkid doctor". Elementary age kids do know about things.

America has one of the highest, if not the highest teen pregnancy rates. Other countires who talk openly about birth control, etc have fewer kids getting pregnant. Why do we try to keep in the dark about ...

I know this thread is fading but I finally found an online version of a newspaper clipping that I'd had tucked away in my desk for years.

It still makes me laugh . . .

Nice!

It's missing a fireplace and a liquor cabinet full of single malts.

Good info. I learned a lot from that.

Thanks for posting.

It's somewhat Orwellian.
