More on the war of words between Jerry Hill and the Spotsylvania County Board of Supervisors:
‘I’m really flabbergasted that they have nothing else to do,’ Supervisor Gary Jackson said. ‘I don’t see how this advances educational opportunity for children in Spotsylvania County.’
Jackson suggested he will give a cool reception to future monetary requests from the [...]
Something that should have been done a long time ago:
Over the past fortnight Israeli intelligence agents have noticed something distinctly odd happening on the internet. One by one, Al-Qaeda?s affiliated websites have vanished until only a handful remain, write Uzi Mahnaimi and Alex Pell.
Someone has cut the line of communication between the spiritual leaders [...]
The Israeli Defence Forces have threatened to open fire on Palestinians if they are targeted during the Gaza pullout:
Israel will launch a massive ground operation if Palestinian militants fire on Israeli soldiers and settlers during next month’s Gaza pullout, the deputy defense minister said Sunday.
Translation: the IDF will launch a massive ground operation regardless of [...]
We found water on Mars:
The crater is 35 kilometres wide and has a maximum depth of approximately 2 kilometres beneath the crater rim. The circular patch of bright material located at the centre of the crater is residual water ice.
This white patch is present all year round, as the temperature and pressure are not [...]

He did not mention Israel, in which the Israeli embassy sent a blistering condemnation to the Vatican ambassador, [...]
I saw this in the FLS this morning. Few things make me angrier than child abuse. I hate it with a visceral passion, and I feel nothing but utter contempt for those who engage in it.
In short, this made me angry:
Virginia State Police determined he was left there by his mother, 22-year-old Channoah [...]
Wow.
I suppose the next question is when will the Protestant paramilitaries lay down their weapons?
At least this explains why there have been a spat of attacks on Catholic churches and pubs recently; most likely in an effort to derail the IRA disarmament. Still, for an organization that has been well known for terrorism, this [...]
I’m a bit confused with regards to the London train bombings.
Does this look like it can do this? Or this?
Those weren’t nail bombs on those trains, guys. Sure anyone can make a nail bomb, but nail bombs aren’t designed to do structural damage such as blowing off the roofs of trains and buses. [...]
A mother takes a picture of a father kissing his son’s belly button. They take the photos to get developed. An enterprising developer notices the pictures and presents them to police authorities. Guess what happens next:
When the photos were shown to the police, the couple was arrested, and Kristoff was put in [...]
