Revisionism and the war in Iraq
Revisionism and the war in Iraq First off, don’t think I speak idly when I talk about the war. My cousin served time in Afghanistan (he’s now training to be a Delta Force member, one certified tough S.O.B.), and I know the importance of security. But, President Bush is driving me nuts.

A wonderation about the legal system
A wonderation about the legal system Yes, I’m using a goofy word like “wonderation”.

Some virus protection program somewhere along the way decided that sending .zip files through the email was a Very Bad Thing, and thus, the creative writing, personal notes, etc. that I did while at Verizon Wireless is lost to …
