Article by missy on July 25th, 2008 at 3:01 pm No? Maybe just a little preemptive strike, then? Bush has made me so gun-shy that even Obama’s Pax Americana talk is starting to scare me: This is the moment when we must defeat terror and dry up the well of extremism that supports it.

He finished the travels he describes in 1173: [The Caliph of Baghdad] built, on the other side of the [...]

(Some of the rarer and more aggressive forms of prostate cancer do not raise the PSA above the normal range until they have metastasized.) [...]
Article by John on November 13th, 2007 at 3:54 pm Thanks to Marion Ward for pointing this video out about some veterans being prevented from marching in the Boston parade and their subsequent arrest: Marion also just pointed out this video of Olympia port protesters stopping another military cargo truck this morning.
