October 30, 2008

Contrary to popular belief there is still a world outside of the United States. Just to prove it, we actually attacked Syria the other day.

2 Dead in an Arkansas University Shooting

October 27, 2008

It pains me to report another school shooting. At the University of Central Arkansas two shots were fired last night around 9:20pm which stole the peacefulness from this University.

It seems that it has become a common and what bothers me, an accepted reality, that there will [...]
