Alleged Terrorists Arrested by the Feds
Apparently there was gonna be a big terrorist event and the CIA figured out who was involved. Allegedly. They haven’t released a tremendous amount of information. The good news is that now that these people have been on the news, it will be that much harder for the CIA to detain them indefinitely if they turn out innocent. Could be worse for them, if they were nailed by the DHS I can’t...

Obama to preside over Israeli-Palestinian Peace...
As always, Palestine and Israel are staring each other down, estimating their chances of survival in an all out war to wipe the other guy out. Y’know, “KILL THE BUGGERS” and all that. So master of elocution and current U.S. president Barack Obama is going to play referee and try to get them to finally get along. I have my doubts how much he can help, but it’s certainly...

RSS Feed should work properly by tomorrow
The feature that really inspired this blog is the ability to open all the stories at once. Unfortunately, due to the nature of the script I built, it doesn’t work in the RSS feed. Forsooth, Sunday is the day that this shall be righted once and for all!
So I’ll do that, make a batch or two, and add an avatar upload interface to dlcgamereviews.com. Hopefully I’ll have time to...

Apple rejects Google Apps, then denies it...
I’m not really an Apple fan, but only because of OS X. Their hardware is generally top-notch, and anything they make that’s mobile… well, good luck getting one until a week after the release. Still, the app submission process seems at times arbitrary (if not corrupt), and their interactions lately with Google reek of “Extraordinarily Bad Idea.” Have a taste of the...

ACORN versus the Prostitution Ring
There’s been plenty of talk about whether ACORN is corrupt, and it pretty much comes to a head here.

On a personal note...
Today was a very weird and wonderful day. School is on an upturn from “totally lame” to “I’m becoming a responsible human being, yay me.” Of course, that’s more of a general trend. Today-specific stuff would be more like successfully avoiding Stalker Kid for all of 2nd period, not having to go to ROP or dance today (I love dance class but it always sneaks up on...

I was hoping to get one from right-wing-biased FOX on the matter, but for something so easy to criticize, they’d done an awful slow job of writing up about it. No story from them available at the time of this writing. No matter, even some of the...
