As relayed to me by a third party, I have Lucas blocked on facebook… The government flew me out to DC from Florida at a total cost of just over $800 to have me talk in front of the “grand jury”… It’s very clear that the government is keeping a very close eye on social…...
It was brought to my attention some time ago, that my post about Gabby Giffords had once again ruffled the feathers of Keene pacifists. Today it has been brought to my attention by Garrett Ean, that I have had my “invitation revoked”. Not that big of a deal, really. I had declined to renew my…...
Another school shooting… The frequency of these events alone calls their newsworthiness into question. If I’m honest with you, I’m rather surprised at how rare they are.

Having a miscarriage can be a traumatizing experience for a woman, and sometimes, the best way to deal with it, is to put your dead baby in a bag, and cover it with stolen lingerie. It sounds ridiculous, I know, but that’s exactly what Tiona Rodriguez did, according to a report by the New York…...
At 30 years old, Kristopher Oswald has never been in a fight as an adult. He weighs 140 lbs, wears glasses, and describes himself as a “huge nerd” who spends much of his time in a comic shop. If you were being assaulted in a parking lot, there’s probably a very long list of people…...
