Britain: Hutton inquiry whitewashes Blair government over Iraq war
However, much Lord Hutton paid, it was money WELL spent… not that anyone really believes that the BBC is evil and the Government/MoD are blameless.
One thing I had a hard time with was his “There was no third party involved with Dr. Kelly’s suicide” statement. What we […]

More people should read this!
I understand that speaking English but adding your country’s accent is not the same as speaking your country’s language. Therefore, I agree not to say things like “Cane you put zee luggage in zee room?” and expect to be understood.

Hack the Planet:

But then they have screenies that show nothing but KDE+Apps booting up under Cygwin, which is nothing spectacular at all. There is […]

Figured I better just put it up here… don’t have time for fiddling any more! So here it is. There are still some blatant screwynesses (like the tabs) which will get fixed.
Speaking of the tabs, they were graciously stolen from the site of the US future president (if I have anything to do with it). […]
