Bob, I have a problem. Yeah, big surprise, I know. Show up again only to complain. I just needed to write 'to' someone, or something. I feel like my life has been in constant decline ever since I left Ohio. Had a great girl with no good reason to leave her. Had a job that at least made me feel impor...

Hey Bob, I'm back again, for pretty much the only reason I do come post here anymore. Truthfully, the same reason I ended up here in the first place. Last year at this time I wanted to be rebellious. Didn't really work out too poorly, though it was hardly a resounding success either. I'm the only pe...

The US liked having Mubarak and Ghaddafi in power. That whole region has been living under the thumb of some very powerful, American supported, leaders for half a century now. Libya, Egypt, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, all are strategically powerful locations in which the US desires political sway. O...

Facing a projected budget shortfall (somewhere in the range of a few billion dollars) and to avoid layoffs, Republicans proposed a bill that would (1) require state employees to contribute a higher portion of their salaries to cover their pension costs and health insurance premiums and (2) weaken t...

Dear Bob, I'm lonely. I just thought I'd tell you that 'cause, well, I don't really have anyone else to tell. Self-fulfilling my ass. The social highlight of my month was a coworker taking me for a drink a couple weeks ago. That's a less positive item than it sounds, as said coworker is a general th...

What do you Americans think about your government's reaction to these events? So far, the diplomats have been extremely careful to not support the protests or even outwardly condemn the actions the Egyptian government has undertaken. Yes, he urged them to reconnect the country after they forced cell...

Viva la revolution!!
I'm surprised nobody's brought this up. Is it that people aren't informed about what's going on in the middle east/northern Africa lately, or just don't care? Either's....well, not as surprising as I might like. To summarize, for those who don't know; - Tunisia recently had a revolution to oust thei...

But I'm really concerned for you right now. You just made the decision to commit your life to another person. Anyone else would be bu...

Bob, I can't sleep. You'd think being under the weather would make me more tired...but I guess the 18+ hours of sleep a day I was getting Monday and Tuesday during the worst of it is keeping me fueled. It's review time at work, and I don't feel very good about it. Actually, that's a terrible way to ...

It would've sounded a whole lot more impressive if I said over 3 million people rather than 1%, but I felt the need to keep relativity in check. The only I raised the point is from reading an article I couldn't find to source that had a much higher current %age. Now, there definitely would be, consi...

I think I have been slightly misunderstood, though that's not unusual for me. I do not believe full disclosure is an appropriate way to run a government. The date range on the leaked cables is from the 60s to many months ago. While I recognize how initially frightening that is, along with the fact t...

It is evident that you are more familiar with the intricacies of the Espionage Act than I, and I respect that as my knowledge of it extends about as far as the Wikipedia page. It prohibited any attempt to interfere with military operations, to support America's enemies during wartime, to promote ins...

Just a few quick notes (more later): Pro-tip: read the case before talking about it. Yes, a majority of the Court found that the government hadn't presented enough evidence to allow an injunction. A majority of the Court also concluded the U.S. could prosecute the newspapers for Espionage Act viola...

Government secrets are important in dealing in the global arena. There's no question of that in my mind. The question becomes, then, what needs to be classified? How? For how long? The whole point of this cable release is not to undermine secrecy but rather to illustrate that the question of what ne...

I don't believe the pat-downs are morally wrong (for the employees of the TSA to perform). They are constitutionally wrong. When it comes to morals, everything (to me) boils down to the 3 tests. Assuming everybody knows as much as you do about the situation, would I like it if the situation were rev...

First, as much as the individuals performing the searches are the ca...
