Having finally knocked out all 900-odd pages of The War of Wars at my current late-night pass-out reading snail's pace, have turned to another long on my list. By pure coincidence, on Thanksgiving week. Mayflower: A Story of Courage, Community, and War by Nathaniel Philbrick. People have been ...

Reader Mark, acknowledging that yes, the CrossFit website is obtuse, recommends contacting your local affiliate for an orientation. And offers this quick-and-dirty rundown:

Well, it's Day One in the post-warmalist world. Waking up, looking around. There's a delightful nip in the air. They're denying it and explaining it away like crazy, plus skewering messengers. Memeorandum's got the squirmy vitriol roundup. "Trick" to "hide the decline," just scientific buzzwords ...

Come on. That's so old war. Here's the Obama age take on the old wartime troop-rallying standby. No rush, guys, no decision before Thanksgiving. Fox.
President Obama will not announce a decision on his war strategy in Afghanistan before Thanksgiving, his aides told Fox News on Thursday.

OK, indulge my obsessed-lefty obsession for a minute. A quick wellness check on two of my favorite moonbats. Here's Andrew Sullivan, whose Daily Dish front page at last check included at least 23 Palin posts, on why feverish obsession is the only logic resort of a thinking man. "Don't Feed The ...

Reader Pat likes CrossFit, a dynamic combination of all kinds of things reportedly employed by various military and police units. Sounds like a great concept. I think this is what my cop brother-in-law was talking about, need to check. I enjoyed the torture session where he made me and our sons ...

It's a kind of post-feminist shout-out. "Democrat goes rogue, declares Palin's book 'great'!" Sandra Tsing-Loh at Salon:
Now hold your horses, you snarky, lefty, NPR-listening, New York Times-subscribing readers of Salon. I haven't jumped ship to declare Sarah Palin herself "great." I'm from ...

But is it OK if we just leave the lights on, crank the AC/DC,* give him a bath or 183, and maybe walk the dogs? Not to extract information or anything illegal like that ...

Normalcy Promised
It's one of the dirty little secrets of intense exercise. Do it, and you'll feel happy. Rat happy, as an inner rat-like calm spreads over you. NYT's Health section explains:
Researchers at Princeton University recently made a remarkable discovery about the brains of rats that exercise. Some of ...

How about the ripoff? Runner's World said that shot was under a one year embargo. Newsweek used it without permission:
EDITOR’S NOTE:
On the cover of this week’s issue of Newsweek is a photo that was shot exclusively for the August 2009 issue of Runner’s World, in which Sarah Palin was ...

They keep coming out of the woodwork. Harvard war heroes. This one, when all the other Harvard Law graduates headed off to the white-shoe law firms, the non-profits, community organizing, that kind of thing, he headed off to the United States Marine Corps. Three combat tours later, it was the ...

Lefties whack Newsweek for sexism. MediaMatters. Hullabaloo. It's feminist bites lefty rag, a pretty rare and newsworthy occurrence for a crowd that usually slams as they do, not as they say. Palin didn't like it, either, went after it on Facebook. Good. Point out their raging hypocrisy.
But as ...

I may not be up for his full iron-pumping, cooler-carrying regime, but J.D. Johannes is getting under my skin.
Today's workout, short, sharp, focused. Targeted intensity with a goal of overload over time. 30 diamond pushups, to moderate burn, short of failure. 25 wide pushups, to burn. (Did ...
