Drinking the Kool-Aid

There were a lot of people at Saturday's GlennBeckmageddon. We'll probably never know exactly how many actually showed up. Glenn Beck says their were 1/2 million; people who count crowds for a living say there were 78,000. Either way, Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin are a smaller draw than the Daytona 500.The last time I visited this end of the Washington Mall was for the We Are One concert last year. The crowd that day stood shoulder to shoulder all the way back to the Washington Monument. ... Read more

Earlier this week I uploaded the video to Youtube.I didn't realize at the time that this video was so good. I've collaborated on several projects with students at NMC and... Read more

The story details how later this year the US Fish & Wildlife Service will release their report on the terrestrial survey of the Northern Islands they completed this summer, but quotes employees of the Northern Islands Mayor's office to claim that fruit bats in the Northern Islands are thriving.That was not the experience I had when I visited...
