14 alumni and I’m sure they’ll pay their respects tomorrow. I’m watching another documentary and it makes me feel as I did a few years ago. My friends in London have yet to realize the impact this had on most Americans, and many of us try to put it out of minds (save for this day). Is a reminder of where I was on September 11.]]>

I opened Microsoft Word, set the font to MicrosoftÂ’s Times New Roman, tabbed over to the default tab stop to enter the date “18 August 1973,†then typed the rest of the document purportedly from the personal records of the late Lieutenant Colonel Jerry B. Killian. And my Microsoft Word version, typed in 2004, is an exact match for the documents trumpeted by CBS News as “authentic.†It gets better. The fonts didn’t exist in 1973, the letters are Kerned, wrong subscripts, etc. The “cynical media” who always stand with pride about the importance of asking questions failed to even do the slightest verification on this story in their rush to judgement (oh yeah, the general cited in the memo retired in 1972 eventhough the memo is suppose to be from 1973). Cynical, but lazy reporting. ]]>
Moscow News reports that a 23-year old former beauty queen contestant has avoided a prison sentence for ordering a contract hit. The hit was on her boyfriend, and she avoided prison by marrying her intended victim!!! What a moron! “Apparently his feelings were stronger than the insult of having a contract put on his life,†the police spokesman said. Insult? Sheesh. I see a divorce coming soon.]]>
CNN is reporting on this pretty weird story. Good for the dogs. ]]>
Yahoo is reporting on this in what will more than likely lead to a slew of name calling and what not. Interesting paper though…]]>
The Moscow Times has some interesting coverage of the Ossetia disaster this morning. Apparently, when the terrorists seized the school the other day, they killed a few people who are now rotting away in the courtyard of the school. Apparently a pack of dogs is in there eating on the bodies, and the Russian police wanted to shoot the dogs, but was afraid of scaring the terrorists. So they did a deal to pick up the bodies. When they arrived to get the bodies, some hostages saw them and thought it was a rescue. They ran out, terrorists shot them, the cops picking up bodies returned fire, other terrorists started fighting, the crowd returned fire (apparently a number of the parents brought their own weapons). Needless to say, a big fricking mess.]]>
