http://therealmccain.com/economy John McCain does not have the ability to fix this economic crisis. After declaring the fundamentals of the economy strong, he created a political circus in Washington last week by mucking up bailout negotiations; a deplorable stunt, considering he and his political...
In the summer of 1986, two ships collided in the Black Sea off the coast of Russia. An investigation revealed the cause of the accident. It wasn't a technology problem like radar malfunction--or even thick fog. The cause was human stubbornness. Each captain was aware of the other ship's presence...
He decided that he was a genius in business and bought two ships. His first big business action was to buy warming pans and send them to West India. His captains sold them all and made and made big profit. It turned out that locals needed ladles for their booming molasses industry. Timothy was so...
Gleich wie Capcoms geniales Okami wird auch dieses neue Nintendo-Spiel für Wii leider nur sehr dürftig beworben. Nach einer faktischen Informationssperre über die letzten Monate ((viele Leute glaubten bereits, das Spiel sei eingestampft)) erscheint es nun plötzlich diesen Herbst.... My concern...
Hurricane Gustav is been like the 3rd hurricane to hit Haiti in a very short time (less than a month?). Hardest hit this time is the major community of GONAIVES ("go-nah-EEV"). Here's the link to a synopsis + the PIH donations page. Thanks so much, and welcome to my site on Vox.
A million things: First, hi. Which is funny because the whole reason I made a new Vox is because the amount of hits on my MySpace blog was getting creepy. So hardly anyone knows I have this. And I kinda missed it here. Also, my heart really hurts right now reading about Gustav and the people who...
Twenty years ago today, the Frecce Tricolori demonst rated how fine is the line between perfection and catastrophe. In preparation for the annual Ramstein Air Base Flugtag air show, the Italians performed their 'pierced heart' maneuver perfectly. At the event, however, a slight miscalculation...

This happened around 4 this morning. Holy shit. Thank goodness this is nowhere near anybody I know (Laurie is miles away from here). Sadly, one firefighter died. But amazingly, nobody else did--only a few injuries.
I have read a lot of bloggers answers to There is a natural disaster headed your way. You get 4 standard sized canvas grocery totes to fill with valuables and provisions to bring with you to a safe place. What would you put into your 4 bags and why I have yet to see anyone say TOILET PAPER. If you...
You're making friends in basements cus now you're just so desperate for attention from anyone who looks like they would care. But scene kids are busy slitting wrists and good kids are hiding bad habits so you're stuck with kids whose futures are the rooms upstairs. And every step you take is one...
So the last 2 or so days have been awful. Monday I went to my physician to ask about getting tested for Celiac's, and was told that to get an accurate one, I'd need at least 3 meals full of gluten. Oh, and I needed a tetanus shot. Great. I do the tetanus shot, and head out to eat something. So I get...

Foreign Aid to U.S. for Katrina I have argued with Liberals on world opinion about America. The Liberals have charged that the world hates America for its imperialism and its consumption of the world's resources. The Liberals really believe that we are a force for evil in the world. I think this...
There's plenty of work to be done this evening but I come home to this: That's right folks, my 52" plazma TV has tilted over and one side of the mount ripped itself off of the wall. I paid professionals to get this installed and they missed the stud by about an inch. Here's a close up of my new hole...
Surprise is putting your hand in your work bag to get your umbrella in a sudden rain shower only to have your fingers squish into a soft over ripe blackened banana that you don't even remember putting into your bag in the first place. Surprise is walking around the back of your car only to have...
