A potpourri of truths, lies, facts, opinions and witty reparteé. Sunday, July 27, 2014. The Last Ship: Lockdown. Last week, I read a review of "El Toro" in which the reviewer compared the entire episode to "The Magnificent Seven" and my thought was hey, if you're going to be compared.that'd be the one. This week we don't have any heroics but we do have. mutiny. A more appropriate title for this episode would be "Loose Lips Sink Ships". Because that's damn near what happened. Hopefully, it's not too late.

A potpourri of truths, lies, facts, opinions and witty reparteé. Sunday, August 09, 2015. The Last Ship: Uneasy Lies the Head. I could just sum up the entire episode with the ending.

You'll be consulted on relevant matters, anything that falls under the executive branch or anything. Who ya gonna call? He's not ready - Not yet, at least.". Leaders ar...

A potpourri of truths, lies, facts, opinions and witty reparteé. Wednesday, February 26, 2014. You can't escape death but you can sure as hell fight it to the bitter end. Many years ago my friend, former professor and mentor Diana discussed Dylan Thomas's "Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night" in class. We know we can't escape death ultimately, it comes for all of us, but that doesn't mean we have to sit back and let it take us without giving it a run for its money. Do not go gentle into that good night,.

The Ravens disclaimer says their views don't necessarily represent the team's front office or coaching staff. Fair enough. So whose views do they represent? Whether they like it or not, they do officially represent the team and everything they tweet has the possibility of positively or negatively impacting the Ravens organization. Too little, too late. My life...

There was so much ass-kicking in this episode I was beside myself shouting "YES! Does that make me a bad person? Aaaand here we go. Frankly, I just want to see one kill the other off.

A potpourri of truths, lies, facts, opinions and witty reparteé. Monday, September 30, 2013. In this government shutdown showdown, we're just pawns in the political game. What we have right now is a few asshats in Congress holding this country hostage by using the Affordable Care Act aka Obamacare as a bargaining chip when it isn't even tired directly to this government funding. The Affordable Care Act is not. And as Sarah Kliff of the Washington Post explains:. Those mandatory funds were appropriated in...
