What makes you think you (we) have it?

I was in Paris. There were massive student protests and the US embassy was heavily guarded (because of Iran). We hung out in cafes watching French troops double time down the boulevard and sat on our hotel balcony drinking cheap wine late into the night discussing whether Newsweek or Time was...

In light of the cottage cheese thread (on lasagne? Can't quite imagine that)...Lasagne Bolognese is my signature dish and I've been making it and tweeking it for damn near 40 years. Firstly, lasagna is singular and as the dish is layered the proper nomenclature is lasagne (layers of lasagna make...

Well, this is going to be interesting. In the upcoming days a million people are expected to visit Oregon for the eclipse on Monday. Our population is 4 million. I'm still trying to get my head around the hit on our infrastructure and services. And that at least half those people are expected to...

This hasn't broke nationally yet but will soon. It has been revealed their ace pitcher (they're the number 1 seed) is a registered sex offender and it has been kept confidential (convicted at 15). He failed to re--register--as required--recently and was cited. Thus it entered the public record...

Smoking this guy on the grill would be too good for him. http://www.foxnews.com/science/2015/07/28/american-dentist-said-to-have-paid-55000-to-kill-cecil-lion/ Big game hunter lures a semi-tame lion out of a park to get his trophy. Now that's sportin'!

OK. I've used them here and now for domestic travel,,,,,but now my 20 year old daughter is stuck in Athens (and will miss four connecting flights back to the west coast of the USA) because a flight booked through them was canceled. Shit happens. Get it. Yet, after (now over) 6 hours on the phone...

So, in the good ole' USA you can nightly see heads blown off (on non-cable tv). In Europe you can see breasts. Face it, the USA has a serious gun fetish. Which do you prefer on TV?
