Gimme Back My Bullets

• This is one of the most disturbing things I've ever read. Any enemy capable of such things is capable of anything.


• Cool story about the 1982 Atlanta Braves playing an exhibition during the season against some minor league all-stars and how mother nature conspired against the small town host. This sort of game doesn't happen any more, but probably should.


• I'm used to stories about various crisis being presented as though they have little impact on men (tornadoes strike Alabama -- women and minorities hit hardest!), but this is kind of ridiculous. It seems that while a man might actually have prostate cancer, it's the woman who is most affected, what with the worrying and the stress of being partnered with a guy who has, uh, cancer. Poor woman.


• On the one hand, I think the Democrats hiring a speed reader -- in response to a Republican attempt to delay voting by requesting the entire text be read out loud -- is funny and clever. Then I realize that Congress didn't read the stimulus bills at any speed before voting on them.
