Forty years ago today, a quiet man from Wapakoneta, Ohio began a journey that would make him the first human to walk a globe other than the Earth. Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, two perfect names for astronauts if ever there were any, flew in a rickety ship for three days with their friend... »

As we approach the 233rd anniversary of the signing of The Declaration of Independence, I thought it would be fun to reread and annotate the historic document with my years of legal, scientific and general life experiences as my guide. I realize that it is this definition of “fun” that makes me such... »

Sixty-five years ago, 73,000 American men crossed the English Channel alongside 83,000 British and Canadian men. In a month’s time, a million men will have joined them in Normandy.

As Legal Insurrection notes, Pelosi’s prior comments (more of which, I assume will be rediscovered soon enough) paint a very different picture of her reaction in 2002. But let’s take a mental trip with the Nanny from Franny and see what her world might have looked like, through the eyes of two CIA officers... »

For God and soldier we adore. In time of danger, not before.
The danger passed and all things righted, God is forgotten and the soldier slighted.
-Rudyard Kipling

Midst the pomp and toil of war,
Have I fought and strove and perished
Countless times upon this star.
In the form of many people
In all panoplies... »

Sixty-four years ago today, nearly one and a half million British, American and Canadian free men risked their lives to rid a continent and the world from Nazi oppression. These were the boys of Point du Hac, Omaha, Juno, Sword, Gold and Utah. These were the boys who jumped, for the... »

These, in the day when heaven was falling,
The hour when earth’s foundations fled,
Followed their mercenary calling,
And took their wages, and are dead.
Their shoulders held the sky suspended;
They stood, and earth’s foundations stay;
What God abandoned, these defended,
And saved the sum of things for pay.
-A.E. Housman
