Not sure what existing thread to fit this into. It seems like it's own subject. And I expect we will hear more in coming weeks. “The Largest Funder of Al-Shabaab Is the Minnesota Taxpayer” "Much like with the HSS program, autism claims to Medicaid in Minnesota have skyrocketed in recent...

Not sure what to make of this. An American woman and a man in Colombia as tourists. Muggers attack the woman (it seems trying to steal her mobile phone). The man, amazingly, retreats and leaves the woman to her own devices. Unrelated bystanders intervene to save the woman and arrest the perp...

Right now, USF playing Old Dominion in the Cure Bowl in Orlando. USF up 10-7 late in the 2nd qtr.

I do not know anything about this guy, but it seems he is married to an American woman and they decided to live in the US, not Germany. He arrived with the stereotypes, and explains why they are wrong. I have spent some time in Germany, and work with Germans. I really like Germany and admire my...

November 21 will mark the anniversary of the Son Tay raid. If you are not familiar with this special operations raid, you should be. Colonel "Bull" Simons rehearsed the raid so often (~170 times) that, by the time the raid was launched, the American prisoners of war had already been moved...

Has someone on the board heard of this guy, Sean Dietrich. Combination music hostorian and musician and has a blog and does occasional videos. Here is one I stumbled across. He does shows here and there. Doing a couple in Birmingham in December. Might be interesting.

Geert Wilders PVV (Euro-sceptic, immigration-sceptic) PVV went from 37 seats in the Dutch lower house to 26 seats. 150 seats in the lower house so 76 is a majority. The center-left (very pro-EU, European integrationist party) also won 26, and lots of other parties won seats. I am not a...

For our Tidefans friends who ride bicycles. Especially if you are going to raid England.

Virginia has off-cycle elections. This year is Governor, Lt. Gov, Attorney General and the House of Delegates and some State Senators. Things are getting downright nasty. Winsome Sears, the current Republican Lt. Gov and a black woman is running for Gov. At a school board meeting in Northern...

Dos Equis Beer Commercial style: The Most German Man in the World. Its funny because its true. Nice to see some fun poked at Germans without referring to "A Certain Period in German History."

Today is the birthday of the US Air Force. In honor to the finest air force in the world. On February 13, 1945, the Allies bombed Dresden. This was the most controversial Allied air mission in the European theater during the war. Kurt Vonnegut was a POW in Dresden. The front lines on that date...

This is a strange one. Not sure this fits into the Trump VIII thread, since Trump had nothing to do with this. Man Denied Birthright Citizenship Over Father’s Diplomat Status Moncada’s father was working for Nicaragua’s permanent mission to the United Nations in 1950, the...

A friend of mine, had a 12 year old daughter. She was an only child and the apple of daddy's eye. The daughter was out riding around on an ATV with a friend. She was not driving.

Okay, let's try this again. None of these plays involve Alabama or Alabama players, so any comments about bad Alabama plays or players will get zapped. Fair warning. Some of these players who do not know the rules. Some coaches that get too clever. Thoughtless people who paint the end zone...

Coach Grubb had a press conference. Around the 4:12, he is asked about QBs. At the 7:50 point, he is asked when he wants to have a starting QB: "Yesterday" Mostly this is "coach-speak," saying lots of words without really saying anything. He does give some glimpses into the QB development though.
