U.S. Strategy Shifts in Iraq Weapons Hunt
Before the war, the United States drew up a list of more than 900 “suspect sites” where weapons of mass destruction or evidence of such programs might be found. Military teams have visited more than 200 of those sites without finding any actual weapons.

The Geek Test!
My score? A profound 36.68639%, enough to classify me as a Major Geek. Not bad at all!
The Friday Five
Ah yes, the mindless memes that float around the Blogosphere. . .

“Shaun!” you ask, “Where’s the irrational ranting over the 40% increase in reassessments and the $0.09 tax increase that City Council advertised?!” Well, I simply haven’t asked anyone why we are thinking of raising taxes while we have a $2.5mil surplus in Fredericksburg, that’s all.

A ‘Modest Proposal’ for the Homeless Shelter
Scott Fischer has it right:
For too long, the shelter staff has played by the rules. I have personally looked at the last two sites, and recognized how desperate things had become to consider such horrible locations as an isolated industrial park or ancient ruins on a rugged, steep slope.

Pictures of Earth. . . from Mars
No one would have believed, in the last years of the 19th century, that human affairs were being watched from the timeless worlds of space. No one could have dreamed that we were being scrutinized as someone with a microscope studies creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop [...]
