Always being willing to beat a dead horse I am following up on the Serena Kozakura case with this highly informative video
Oh and in other less important news John McCain secured the Republican nomination last night, Mike Huckabee conceded, Hillary won Ohio, Texas, and Rhode Island and Barack is no longer the anointed one.
Serena Kozakura, […]

This is not the first time that professional football has bailed Independent Sources out of a traffic nosedive. In […]

Is Raul Castro making major changes or continuing his brothers legacy? According to this NY Times article it may be a little of both:
HAVANA — In his first state reception as Cuba’s president, Raúl Castro met Tuesday not with leftist Latin American leaders like Hugo Chávez and Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, nor with […]

and by customer service we mean detention camps and RFID chips in the buttocks:
At 5:30 p.m. Eastern time today, all 7,100 Starbucks locations in the United States will close their doors for three hours.
Immediate ramifications stretch far beyond the lack of strong coffee in dozens of permutations, though that was certainly the most important — […]

Apparently his brain eating zombie powers weren’t enough to keep him in office.
I am just wondering how Hugo Chavez is feeling right now? I mean first he loses the President for Life referendum in December, then Exxon says screw you we want our money and freezes $12,000,000,000 in assets and he makes […]

Tuesday night the Berkeley City Council is going to vote on a motion to rescind the resolution that called the Marines “unwelcome intruders” in their little piece of paradise.
