I pretty much stole all these links from the same person, just so you know :)

Fox insider outright admits they just make stuff up. I think we already knew that... and I also think that some people will never be convinced. Fox is pretty good at fooling some of the people all of the time, I guess.

Scientists discover how to make squids go completely berserk. No, that's actually the title of the article. Scientists do not explain why you'd want to make squids go completely berserk, though. Let's hope they never attempt revenge. If Otto is any indication, they can create plenty of damage just out of boredom. Revenge would be easy. Also, they can hear you talking about them behind their backs. Never turn your back on a squid, that's what I say.

Why Isn't Wall Street in Jail? Well, that's depressing. I just kinda skimmed it.

And then there's this. This firefighter (according to this article, anyway) refused to answer calls to the shooting in Tuscon because of political reasons. It's like birth control and pharmacists all over again. If your beliefs keep you from doing your job - get another job! How hard is this?

I have to laugh. It's not even funny, but otherwise I'd be crying right now. I've long since realized that the vast majority of my patriotic sensibilities were pretty much entirely tied up in the concept of freedom of speech, including freedom of the press. And every time I think that's taken a blow, it hurts. It really does.

Just yesterday, I read an article about how in polls, the fear Americans had of terrorist attacks was the lowest it's been since 9/11. I thought about posting about it, decided not to because I figured I'd spammed youse guys all enough :)

And today, I go to CNN to look up some stuff that woodface had been talking about, and what's on the front page?

High risk of attacks with WMDs within a decade. Most likely a nuclear attack by terrorists.
A special report on terrorism.
A video on security fears on the Mississippi, a popup on "the nuclear club".

Maybe they just got the news now. *shrugs* Of course, my inborn cynic tells me that it's probably more like they're trying to make people scared again. Or maybe I'm just being paranoid again.
