— Napoleon Bonaparte

Compact, flameless heater allows for pre-packaged hot dinners

“Whether it’s chili with beans, barbecued beef or meatballs in marinara sauce, members of the United States military are served up a rotating menu of entrees through meals, ready to eat rations.  Packed in individual pouches, these self-contained meals can be eaten during combat operations, humanitarian missions or field trainings, providing nourishment on the go.  Yet while MREs were first piloted for U.S. military members during the Vietnam War, it wasn’t until the 1990s that it’s been possible for these meals to be served hot…

“Whom the gods love, die young.”
Menander (341-290 BCE)

“Everybody knows how to raise children, except the people who have them.”

“America wasn’t founded so that we could all be better. America was founded so we could all be anything we damned well pleased.”

“Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys.”

“It’s better to spend money like there’s no tomorrow than to spend tonight like there’s no money.”

Rolling Stone

“When buying and selling are controlled by legislation, the first things to be bought and sold are legislators.”

“If government were a product, selling it would be illegal.”

“The Democrats are the party that says government will make you smarter, taller, richer, and remove the crabgrass on your lawn. The Republicans are the party that says government doesn’t work and then they get elected and prove it.”

“Not much was really invented during the Renaissance, if you don’t count modern civilization.”

“No humorist is under any obligation to provide answers and probably if you were to delve into the literary history of humour it’s probably all about not providing answers because the humorist essentially says: this is the way things are.”
