Amazing how much energy sitting in traffic like that can take out of you. Didn’t take long to crash last night. Eyes are a mess. All that light. The lights from cars in my rear view mirror, side mirror, and from traffic coming towards me. All the tail lights. All the flashing lights from school […]

In case folks didn’t know, we had a little snow even in NC from the Triangle and east. I left work at 5:30pm. I got home at 8:55pm. That’s right. And it didn’t even take me as long as some people. There were folks on the radio who said they left at 1pm, and, as […]

Looks like Dr. Rice has been confirmed by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and the appointment will now be sent to the entire Senate, where she will most certainly be confirmed as our next Secretary of State, followed by her election as President in November, 2008.

I’m talking about normal problems, not the biggies, of course. Work issues, spousal issues, getting dog poo on your new shoes. Uh uh. Nope. Doesn’t hold a candle to this: A 63-year-old man who hasn’t slept for more than two decades has been told there is nothing wrong with him by doctors. Ukrainian Fyodor Nesterchuk […]

Via Cao’s Blog (cause I was just too damm lazy to look at the news today), word of Michael Newdow’s suit to have "Under God" removed from the Presidential Oath pitched out, rightly, on it’s ear. Seriously, why does the majority have to cave to the minority, or, the nine, especially when the country was […]

Quick blurb from this article caught my attention (via LtShaffer from the forum I post on): Abdul Al-Haddad, 67, drove six hours from Raleigh, N.C., with his family to register at the polling station in New Carrollton, Md. He said he spent 13 years in prison in Iraq after he was falsely accused of being […]

U.S. troops staged raids Sunday in the insurgent stronghold of Mosul, where mass resignations by frightened poll workers and police threaten the viability of elections scheduled in two weeks. Mass? How many is mass? Does the USA Today have numbers to cover their insinuation and inflammatory rhetoric? "There was intimidation in Afghanistan — the Taliban […]

A month-old argument sparked a fight Monday night inside the Triangle Town Center shopping mall that left two teenage brothers suffering from stab wounds, police said. The unidentified victims, ages 18 and 16, were taken to WakeMed Raleigh Campus for non-life-threatening injuries. One was stabbed in the buttocks and the other on the back near […]

Missed this one from Saturday’s news, haven’t seen anyone else with it: A woman pulled a pistol on Iraq’s defense minister in his office but then broke down in tears in a failed assassination plot hatched by an Iraqi group in Syria, the minister said in comments published on Saturday. (emphasis mine) Shaalan said the […]
