Well, I'm starting to get settled in to my new job. I'm still awaiting my first paycheck–it should arrive in about two weeks. It looks like I'm going to be on the swing shift after all, but it's understood that this is just a stepping stone in people's careers. On the up side, drill weekends …

Richard Gere
Jeanne Wolf, an entertainment writer, yesterday defended Richard Gere's anti-American nonsense by saying that he "loves peace," and therefore what he sees on TV everyday must be "deeply troubling" for him. This leads to a question that I must ask Mr. Gere, and everyone else who dedicates their energies to America bashing and terrorist appeasement: …
Khalid Sheikh Mohammed
On the 10th of March, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was heard by a military tribunal to determine whether he was, in fact, to be considered an "enemy combatant." Former Federal Prosecutor John Flannery was interviewed by Fox News, where he stated that not only could the military not give a fair trial to Mohammed, but, "they didn't!" …

My new "job"
Well, today was the third day of work at my new job–sort of. I’ve been showing up and doing the work; however, the HR person who told me when to report for orientation got her wires crossed. My appointment has not yet been approved, and the Sergeant Major for whom I am working is having …

From now on, it will be maintained as a blog, available here: http://q2600.blogspot.com/ Hopefully, with my new job, I will be able to maintain regular forms of communication with people. Which is the big news: I have been …
