tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-76209126555510001012026-02-05T07:11:28.906-06:00Welcome! Once a journalist, always a journalist. I left the news business to try something completely different (for a time), but realized I still felt the need to keep up with all that's going on around us. So, this blog emerged as a way for me to filter some of what I feel is important, interesting or funny and pass it along to you. Enjoy! And, feel free to comment on any post.Doug Krilehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10536717644932788563noreply@blogger.comBlogger3513125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7620912655551000101.post-50219258312839052372019-01-09T09:09:00.001-06:002019-01-09T09:29:50.801-06:00

I just realized it’s been almost ten years since I last posted! There’s a lot of water under the bridge, but we’ll tackle that later! In the meantime, much about blogging has changed, so I have new technology to learn! Stand by!

The repeated denials of any responsibility just, in my humble opinion, make Fox News look all the worse for this incident. Also, it's just another in a long (and growing) list of such things. On Fox News, percentages don't add up to 100 and, apparently, 'zero tolerance' means 'unless we get caught'.Media Matters busted FOX News -- again. Yesterday, during FOX and Friends, the network provided

Those of you who follow this blog will have already taken note of my rambling rant about the horrendous problems we had with American Airlines in the final couple of days before the wedding. However, I'm in a much better mood now - not that AA has resolved ANYTHING, but simply because the wedding went off without a major problems, everybody seemed to have a good time, and the bride and groom had

For those of you who have not been following my frustrations with American Airlines on Twitter, allow me to briefly bring you up to date.  Our daughter's wedding was this weekend. Her fiance' flew in from their new home in North Carolina, arriving Thursday morning - without his luggage. This was a one-stop flight and the bag contained not only his wedding clothes, but clothes for their honeymoon,

I'm seriously thinking that moving as much as possible toward being a locavore is where we're headed in this household. What's a "locavore?" Basically, it's somebody who buys as much food, as possible, from local sources. We've long been fans of the Little Rock and North Little Rock Farmers' Markets, but we're now seeing the emergence of sources that will offer products throughout the year, not

Well, was it? Why the 911 Truth Movement 'Cannot be Stopped' There remains probable cause to indict and charge top officials, George W. Bush himself, for the crimes we call '911'. And, last time I checked, there was no 'statute of limitation' on mass murder, war crimes [see: US Codes, Title 18, Section 2441] or high treason!
