Sorry, But I Have to Protest...
In theory, I’m all for fair trade over free trade. I’m all for social justice, and human rights, and saving the environment, and any number of liberal, bleeding heart causes. I believe strongly in the right to free speech and the right to assemble. But I also have to get to work tomorrow.

The FBI’s National Infrastructure Protection Center or NIPC recently warned of more attacks on Web sites in the U.S. and around the world, especially those making political or social statements.

Out of Nigeria - or Who Wants to be Miss World?
It was a nightmare waiting to happen. An international beauty pageant in a country with more internal crises than it can sort out equals a sure ticket to a public riot. Add to that the assertion that the Prophet Mohammed would marry one of the contestants, and the result is a Miss World crowned in London, not Nigeria.
