So why doesn’t the Pentagon?
(I know, I’m supposed to be finishing my novel rewrite this weekend, but I had to post this.)
I just got my November 2004 National Geographic (which, by the way, has an excellent series of articles on the different sciences affected by Darwin’s Theory of Evolution), and found this picture in the [...]
My last post I talked about the anonymous note we got (pdf file, 505K) that contained a story about a father berating his child in an attempt to explain the war in Iraq. The note calls it “a chilling story.” And it is chilling–chilling in its horribleness. (Horribiltude? Horribility?)

and reports of vandalism of campaign headquarters are increasing.
While we work for our candidates, let us please also pray that
partisan enthusiasm doesn’t devolve into fraud or [...]
For the past week, we’ve had a US troops casualty count in the front window of the house. Surprisingly, we’ve not gotten egged, t-p’d, or brick-through-the-windowed.
