Welcome aboard!
Welcome Captain's Quarters readers! Take a look around and tell me what you think.
My interests range from law to literature; politics to crime and punishment; movies to military history; photography, punditry and knavery.
I've written about the threat posed by diesel submarines; military service at Camp Roberts; liberal politicians, tyrants and capital punishment; the joys of living with dogs and cats; the mysteries of jury selection and the art of voir dire; life aboard a submarine; and a week learning to march (again) and stay in step.
Please leave a comment if you see something you like -- or that makes you see red; all criticism is welcome.
UPDATE
And a hearty welcome to the folks from Patterico's Pontifications.
I've also written about why I think pacifists are contemptible; the identity of the modern-day sonderkommando; my thoughts on euthanasia, America's seeming lack of remorse, and whether the justice system ought to strive for a just result, or just a result.
If you're a dog guy (or gal), you might want to take a look at Bogie, the character with the worried gaze at the top of the page.
And if you're a whacked-out dog lover, check out Bogie living the American dream; opening up a can of whup-ass; attacking the sheriff; stopping to smell the flowers; getting his (neat) freak on; remembering Yasser; practicing mind control; getting freaked out by the cats; and dominating Mean Kitty

I clicked in from CQ. A question for you, friend. In your own words do you fancy yourself as a Bush neo-con or a Goldwater conservative?

I've never really fit into a rigid ideological or political mold. If I had to, I'd say I was a classical small-government Conservative who believes in first principles when it comes to domestic politics: catch the crooks, put out the fires, fix the roads.
Foreign policy? I'm in favor of speaking softly and carrying a big stick -- a very big stick that we're not afraid to wield. I believe the "realists" have forgotten that it's more important to be feared and respected than liked by other nations.
How would you define a Bush neo-con versus a Goldwater -con?
