On That Big Story of the Day?
I really don’t care who “Deep Throat” is. He’s a guy who leaked a whole lot of stuff he shouldn’t have to two newspaper guys. The Washington Post, on the other hand, owes him pretty much everything it is today. I’m tired of the story already, and we’re only in Day One. Expect at least [...]
Sorry for the Last Three Days…
I hit my bandwidth limit for the month a couple days earlier than planned. With it being the holiday weekend already, there wasn’t much of a chance to get in and fix things, so the site was down (as you may have noticed). But, it’s a new month and I’ll be working with my hosting [...]

He pled guilty to a misdemeanor. For that he was fined 10,000 dollars and had his security clearance suspended for three [...]
Defiled Koran = Outrage; Dead Muslims in a Mosque = Shrugged Shoulders
Let me get this straight. Reports of mishandling of the Koran cause Muslims to take to the streets in a killing rage and a big story in the newspapers. A suicide bomber killing 19 people inside a mosque gets barely a stir from Muslims and not so much of a screamer headline. What are we [...]
