Bacon & Beer

"It's all about the bacon." Jesus Christ, Lamb, The Gospel According to Biff. "THEY'RE ON OUR RIGHT, THEY'RE ON OUR LEFT, THEY'RE IN FRONT OF US, THEY'RE BEHIND US: THEY CAN'T GET AWAY FROM US THIS TIME." "Chesty" Puller at the Chosin Reservoir. “Come on you sons of bitches, do you want to live forever?!” Gunnery Sergeant Dan Daly at the WWI battle of Belleau Wood.

Blew that one!

It's hard to get five straight minutes on line when your 15 year-old daughter thinks access to the internet is an inalienable right. Church this morning, then youth service practice, then Da Bears over at Rick's house with a 72-foot HD TV screen -- maybe it's not quite that big, but it's huge! Followed by some work, and then a meeting with some friends over coffee. Lest night I read most of PJ O'Rourke's "Parliament of Whores," after reading "Give War a Chance." PJ is hilarious. I have "Peace Kills; America's Fun New Imperialism," also by PJ, waiting in the wings. Can't wait. My other favorite writer right now is Rick Reilly at Sports Illustrated. In fact, his column is the only reason I get that magazine. What is it with these Irish guys?
