Great piece on the author and Michael Murphy at the WSJ. I haven’t read the book, because I’m a cheap bastard, and I’m waiting for it to come out in paperback, but if you’ve got the scratch, Liz Stephans recommends it. Apparently she and Scott Baker were the second media outlet to interview him about the book.ÂÂ
As I’ve mentioned before, it’s pretty sad that Hollywood’s making movies about hanging chads when it could be chronicling a story of tragic but extraordinary heroism.
Stoo requested that I link this celebration of the UN, still irrelevant after 61 years. Congrats!
Man who had sex with bike in court
In court? That’s just disgusting.
Donald Rumsfeld charged with torture during trip to France
During trip to France? Doesn’t Rummy ever go on vacation?

From the “news” article
“This is the fifth time Rumsfeld has been charged with direct involvement in torture stemming from his role in the Bush administration’s program of torture post-9/11.”
Non-bias turned up to 11.
I guess my first reaction would be, having sex with a bicycle is illegal in England? Is it just newer bikes say under the age of sixteen or all of them, even the old ones with the huge front wheel and tiny back one (now that’s disgusting),
Better bring this to the attention of Charles at LGF. I think he would be interested. VERY INTERESTED…….if you know what I mean.
Well, mark . . . but IN COURT? I mean, keep it at home. Certainly, let’s see what Charles has to say.
Yes, certainly. A man or womans intimate relations with their or someone else’s Schwinn or Duffy, depending on which way you swing, should be a private matter. Unless there are pictures.
“Karl Watkins, an electrician, was jailed for having sex with pavements in Redditch, Worcs, in 1993.”
Why don’t we do it with the road?
That hat… that rain coat! I’m pretty sure that’s the guy who raped my 3 speed Stingray when I was a kid. At the time everyone told me it was just the mailman showing off his stunt riding abilities but that bike was never the same after that day.
I suppose it’s good they stopped him before he moved on to mopeds. He might have caught an ATV.
“Why don’t we do it with the road”.
Asphalt,reinforced concrete or the dirt road. Discuss.
If Ron Paul had Constitutionally protected consensual Libertarian sex with a bicycle, would it be with a Schwinn or a Duffy. (helpful hint… Schwinn is a jooo name I’m pretty sure).
No bicycle chain grease for oil!
Mmmmmm…pavements.
Was tequila recently introduced to the UK, by any chance?
Dude, I have drank several tanker trucks of tequila in my life, and while I may have kissed the pavement a few times, I never once considered consummating the relationship.
Well, I can safely say that sex with dirt roads is right out. Cleaning up afterwards is quite painful and…
why is everyone looking at me like that?
I read the WSJ piece in the print version this morning. Right away I got on the net and emailed it to my dad who just finished Lone Survivor. He’s not prone to outpourings of emotion but said because of the book he gets choked up every time he sees Luttrell do an interview.

– Next we’ll be hearing calls for “Marraige between a man and a bicycle”. Can rotary mowers and golf carts be far behind?
I’ve got my eye on this nimble little ZTR, myself. Rowr!
