…
In the decade since, massacres perpetrated by deranged gunmen have continued – including the 2007 Virginia Tech massacre in which Cho Seung-Hui killed 32 people and wounded many others. But something odd has occurred. Whatever momentum the [...]
This AP headline just pisses me off:
War bill helps Iraqis, may ignore Katrina victims
NEW ORLEANS – A long way from Iraq and the war debate in Washington, Herman Moore sat outside a tent in a downtown New Orleans homeless camp, trying to make sense of a proposal that helps Iraqi war refugees but will likely [...]
This article by Victor Davis Hanson is a good example of why he’s a professional writer and I’m not.
