Fort Worth soldier’s, um, boxers make him famous | Fort Worth | Star-Telegram.com
Army Spec. Zachary Boyd, a 2007 graduate of Keller Central High School, was in his sleeping quarters this week when the Taliban attacked in the rugged mountains of eastern Afghanistan. Boyd rushed to a defensive position clad in his helmet, vest and boxers — the pink ones decorated with the “I Love NY” slogan.

Dude’s from Fort Worth. “I Love NY” Boxers. Geez.

Thank you for your service. Get some Texas undies.

Medicare is going to bankrupt us, which is why we need universal health care – Megan McArdle
Perhaps predictibly, someone showed up in the comments to my post on Medicare and Social Security to argue that liberal analysts have very serious plans to cut Medicare’s costs, which is why we need universal coverage, so that we can implement those very serious plans.

I hear this argument quite often, and it’s gibberish in a prom dress.

Sing it, sister.
