...to all who have served our nation in the armed forces, whether at home or abroad.

...here's a school principal reinforcing them: no lesbian at *our* prom. Just red-blooded, humpin' American heterosexuals.

Oh, yeah, and Ms. Lesbian Student? Screw your First Amendment rights, too.

I've just gotten off of the phone with a woman named Pat, who works in the office of the president of Medco, the company that I had written about over the weekend. ( Here's the rest of the story... )

A bra that converts to a putting green. This Japanese product reminds me that I am very, very Occidental. Very.

Reiko Aoyama, who is lingerie maker Triumph’s image girl for 2010, holds the new Nice Cup in Bra, designed to appeal to Japan’s busy golfing women. The green corset-style garment can be removed and unrolled to create a 1.5-meter-long putting mat. When the user sinks a putt into one of the cups, a built-in speaker pumps out a congratulatory “Nice shot!” The bra also features pockets for extra golf balls and tees, and a detachable flag pin that serves as a score pencil. The bra set comes with a skirt with the words “Be Quiet” printed on the rear, which doubles up as a flag for use on the course.

A U.K. man suspected of burglary and being sought by police didn't like the mug shot police had distributed to local news outlets with their plea to the public for information. So he took a better photo of himself with his cell phone and sent it to the newspaper.

He is still at large.

The "Poppy Appeal," which supports the Royal British Legion veterans group, is constantly updating its contact measures with the British public. This year, they created a special iPhone application enabling people to nurture and carry a virtual poppy -- purchase prices go to support the Poppy Appeal.

Pretty spiffy fund raising.
