- I was all set to write something about OKC and Waco for today, but I figure Bill will have some coverage, and I don’t have the energy to do it right myself.
I’m shocked, shocked, to find out there’s gambling going on in here!
is the quote that came to mind when I read Security officers ‘aided sectarian murders in Ulster’. And in more shocking news from Ireland: British agents conducted illegal, secret war on IRA. I suspect this investigation may soon determine that water’s wet and the sky is blue. [Jim] [colby cosh]- No Help for Callers in Trouble, in spite of years of tax collection for Enhanced 911 service. In New York, the money gets used by the State Police for dry cleaning, office supplice, and whatever else they decide they need. Just another example of
taxation is theft
, although this case is a little more obvious than usual. [metafilter]
- Insects thrive on GM ‘pest-killing’ crops, growing 56% faster than bugs eating “normal” crops. Appears the little annoyances have not only developed an immunity to Bt toxin, they’ve figured out to use it as a diet supplement. [metafilter]
- Homeland Security Dept. Fills Privacy Post with the former privacy officer from Doubleclick. I feel so much better now. [metafilter]
- jr conlin’s we are from... France talks about the Nigerian Scammers who are now purporting to be from other places (because some of their dim-bulb victims have apparently caught on to the fact that there's something funny going on in Nigeria). Aaron’s been talking about baiting the scammers lately, and I pointed to Brad Christensen’s scam-baiting page a while back. I guess a link to another Scam Baiter wouldn’t hurt. [some guy]
