Blackwater

Blackwater gets banned.

Right after we FINALLY decide to bring home 'some' troops.

So let me guess. We'll be having to send troops to do the job of that these private contractors were doing?

But wait!

"Who says? The occupying Americans. The Coalition Provisional Authority issued a "law" when they supposedly handed over sovereignty to Iraq--Order No. 17--that gave Blackwater and other US contractors immunity from Iraqi law. How clever of the American pro-consul."

So... if they are immune, how are they being prosecuted (those involved in the attack that started this scandal)?

This is a mess. Lets see what happens.

Wow to Torrents

So today I did a whole bunch of research on how to get the most out of my torrent downloads and I have to admit it was worth it. I learned to set up my Port Forwarding and my average download/upload speeds have increased tenfold. I'm stoked!

It Confounds Me

... how old fashioned people can be.

Seriously..

An airline sacrifices two goats to please a sky god so that their air planes won't crash.

Ridiculous. How is this possible?
