For the most part, our soldiers don’t want publicity. They are not trying to become celebrities. Our men and women, fighting for freedom (rightly or wrongly), are much more modest.
The best example of this is the World War II Memorial. This memorial celebrates, in the words of Tom Brokaw, “The Greatest Generation.” […]
The BBC has a short, interesting article in it today, about the status of W.
Imagine an administration has given more than $15bn towards treating HIV/Aids, mainly in Africa; that has hinted it might boycott the Beijing Olympics if China doesn’t intervene to stop Burmese monks from getting slaughtered; that has tried - and failed - […]
are not games. At this years DefCon (a hacker’s conference), NBC inserted a covert media journalist to capture hacker’s admitting to crimes and to out a federal undercover agent attending the conference.

Capitol Hill staff said Ellison’s swearing-in photo […]
I’m pretty sure I tried this with my Dad, and it came to the same end. It was worth a shot. Following being shotdown, I received a long dissertation.
George Will is an excellent columnist for the Washington Post. I subscribe to his feed and read every column. He slams Virginia’s newly elected senator Jim Webb. And, as stated in the article, even a high school English teach would be dissappointed with the vernacular chosen by the senator. An exceprt […]
Train sent me a link to The Libertarian Vote from The Cato Institute, a libertarian think tank in DC. I’m a Libertarian. The authors include a quote from McClosky and Zaller’s The American Ethos: Public Attitudes toward Capitalism and Democracy (I think) which states my thoughts better than I could have explained. […]
So, September 11th still bothers me. Many times it furiates me. Other times, it simply annoys me. I feel sorrow for those that have lost friends and family both in the attack and all events that were sparked from that tradegy. Just recently, the oral history from 9/11 has been released, […]
