I’m no expert on how international joint investigations and on the ground war crimes investigations go logistically, but something seems suspicious about Israel offering to investigate whether or not they used illegal white phosphorous bombs during their accidental attack on U.N headquarters in their widely criticized offensive. Sounds to much like a PR S.O.S. on [...]
It became something well known that Israel is using the phosphoric bombs. Just watching the images of the burns in the Palestinian dead bodies in the first week was enough to know that they are using the phosphoric bombs not even the cluster bombs we know that they used in Lebanon. But of course as a simple blogger I could not know that the IDF is using Phosphoric bomb, at first I thought the

Happy Halloween!Are y'all dressing up for the big fete? I think my Halloween celebration will be dull for several reasons: First, I heard from my homies that the Frenchies don't 'do' Halloween. Second, my five (yes FIVE) suitcases were so packed full of shoes and dresses that I had no room at all for a funky, creative costume. I wonder what I can be based off my wardrobe? I guess I can go as a mag

Israel will almost surely attack Iran’s nuclear sites in the next four to seven months — and the leaders in Washington and even Tehran should hope that the attack will be successful enough to cause at least a significant delay in the Iranian production schedule, if not complete destruction, of that country’s nuclear program.

Wow. Just wow. Two comedies, Get Smart and the Love Guru, opened this weekend and speculation was rampant about which one would make the most money this weekend.

"Speed Racer" became the first official box office bomb of the season and now becomes the front runner for the "Why the Hell Did They Make This Movie?" Award of 2008. It pulled in $20,210,000 for a movie that cost north of $150 million. It got destroyed by "Iron Man", which is playing in its second week. It also tanking overseas as well.For comparison, this movie grossed less than the opening weekend of "Poseidon", Warner Brothers' financial disaster from two years ago.Normally, I do not bring box office up because, in the end, it does not measure a movie's worth. However, "Speed Racer" has created a legion of smug, arrogant supporters that have wagged their fingers at those who didn't want to see the movie or the critics who hated it. Some of them have even claimed "Speed Racer" is the f

A new form of web terror will make you the most talked about pervert in the office.Usually prank emails were supposed to make you laugh and/or scare you.

The only way to stop this vicious virus from continuing to embarrass the crap out of you is to unplug your computer from the socket.So beware when a friend or suspicious email arrives in your inbox because it very well may get you fired and labeled as "the perv of the office"!!
Despite our enthusiasm (and the enthusiasm of Sega fanboys everywhere) over Sega Superstars Tennis, a release that drips with fan service, the game failed to inspire consumers to rush out and buy the game like they did with Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games? Not enough Mario, perhaps? Or olympics?Whatever the case, slow sales for the tennis title has given GameStop early cause to slash its prices for Sega Superstars Tennis across all platforms, and you can now buy the Wii game for as little as $19.99. It's a great bargain, considering the game was released only a month ago! You can order Sega Superstars Tennis through GameStop's online shop, but why not save a few bucks and pick it up at one of the retailer's local stores?Gallery: Sega Superstars Tennis
