I was going to post this in the DC Metblogs, but it’s kind of off-topic and I didn’t want to seem like I was blasting someone for asking people to help out people in countries hit by the tsunami after Xmas. I hate calling them victims because I don’t see how you can be a [...]

Can someone explain the purpose of comment spamming on weblogs? I don’t get it. As if someone’s going to be reading through the comments of Wonkette, Metblogs or even the plethora of comments on my own site and decide, “Hey, I could really go for some porn right about now.” Or perhaps, “A game of [...]

If you ever want to see the amount of traffic the Navy accounts for in the Hampton Roads area, hit the highways on a federal holiday. They’re empty! There’s nobody out there. It’s a little eerie. I’m not going to go off too much here. It just cracks me up that the world’s largest naval [...]

Today, Tom Ridge reported that there was the potential for a terrorist attack. It could happen during the upcoming elections. Before that, it could have happened during the Fourth of July weekend. Before that… Is anyone else getting tired of this?

I can’t stand it when I submit documentation for approval and it’s not approved for gramatical disagreements.
