Attack Buffer, M1A1-Mark II This is a reprint of a previous article. Hope it brings you a few laughs after a very trying week. The Colonel Rides the Buffer. Back in 2004, having come back from the desert twenty pounds and one wife lighter, I bought a small little place over in Largo, Florida where I had found post deployment work in the private sector.

But also to lay out an investigation for -- against biden. all of that is probably in the deposition, it probably there and there will be further information i think sondlands coming in next week. in is all part of the unraveling of donald trump. >> for the president to be claiming that his conversation with the president of ukraine was all about fighting corruption in ukraine and rudy giuliani was at the pointy end of the spear of an anti-corruption drive in ukraine, is just ludicrous, particul...

Losing their minds. over candy corn. and this year, of course, its getting political. look at how it tapers at the top, to the eliteest 1%. by the way, are we sure its the top? if its candy corn, wouldnt the part that looks like corn, the yellow, be the top? well, as expected, the twitter verse went berserk. there were thoughtful arguments on both sides. a photo thats gone viral really sealed the deal for me. several viewers sent me this picture. candy corn arranged in a cob. i have to say its...

Over which company gets to buy most of 21st century fox. joining me, roger mcnanny. really good that the courts dont have to listen to what the administration or the president says. thats a victory for the courts. on the other hand its puzzling that an $85 billion merger of this sequence got approved with zero conditions? >> unbelievable. from amers perspective this is a brutal week. first the end of net neutrality. its unclear exactly how that will play out. then this decion here allowing a mas...
