Be Prepared

Thursday, April 17th, 2003 · 1 Comment

Be Prepared: The motto of not just the Boy Scouts of America, but also CNN, which, according to the The Smoking Gun, likes to have these little memorials handy…just in case. Any bets on whether the current state of affairs in the country, the world, and Iraq would be different if this Cheney obituary were […]

Invasion of Ask Jeeves/Teoma

Monday, April 14th, 2003 · 3 Comments
