Iraq War: Yea or Nay?

Reader Sara has been tasked with writing a paper on the Iraq War, and is looking for reason why it was the right thing to do. Alright, my experience concept of wether the War in Iraq is justified is one that is limited, and although I do care, a tend to be straddling the fence […]

Off topic Guardian

Anyone out there familiar with Italian? The Guardian post (cannot call it a story, as all I did was post the entire original story), made it into an Italian paper (blog?) Have tried a few translation programs, and I just am not getting real good answers. Il Guardian, giornale senza dubbio umoristico, ha ritirato dal […]

More on Abu Ghraid

Take a listen while it is on the Bob and Tom website.

No Nudes Here

While I certainly have enjoyed some email I have recieved, I just want to make it clear that I have absolutely nothing to do with either of the Pirate’s Cove’s in California. Never even been to California. While it is flattering (I guess), no can help ye beyond the link :0)

Great White Shark

This past September, several bloggers, including myself, made mention of a Great White Shark that had been captured and was at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. As of October 18th, she was doing fine.

Thar Be Missing Explosives

But when did they go missing? Were they even there? Mr. NZ Bear has a great article, and a good roundup of links, regarding the explosive explosives story. Seems like the NY Times, and anyone else that is sticking by it, similar to Rathergate, shall be walking the plank: A senior Bush administration official said […]

(Hat tip, Right Wing News) The Russians have signed it, but: “This mustn’t lull us into thinking that the problem is solved,” Pachauri said. “Kyoto is not enough. We now have to look at the problem afresh.” […]

Question on the Guardian:

I wish I had thought of this on Sunday, but, are there any folks out there who have access to either the Sunday or Monday (England time) Guardian? I am interested to know if Charlie Brooker’s “apology” appears in the print version. TIA

Brooker and Free Speech

Having perused many forums and chatboards at blogs about Mr Brooker, I have seen many a post from are Liberal friends, some of which are saying that what Brooker wrote was “Free Speech.” Well, Nay, it tis not. First of all. you have to be a US Citizen or a guest in our lovely country […]

NC Early Voting Myth

For all you North Carolina voters out there who plan on voting early, bring a picture ID. There is a pervasive rumor that all you a required to give to vote early is your name and address. I heard this multiple times in the voting area bith Saturday (I didn’t wait around to vote: 4-5 […]
