I am looking forward to the first installment of this, namely "Seaman Suzuki and the Golden Rivet."

I am with romulus here. For all the big talk, I don't think the local fuzz can be blamed in this one. Even with a blackbelt in whatever, you have to know when to pick your fights. Taking on somebody with a steel bar is a pretty hairy exercise, unlike…

This is not the first time that something like this has happened. You occassionally hear horror stories of clamps and cotton wool being left in people after surgery. As such, during medical training (either as a doctor or as a medic in the armed forces), it is always rammed home…

Creative punishments aside, this guy is a pedophile. Charge him, try him, find him guilty and lock him up. Also look further into his past to see if this is a one-off case or part of a series. Furthermore, when he goes to jail, make sure that he gets to…

For once the US military seems to have used its head in PR targeted at a local population. I must say that this is a lot better than using the word "Crusade" when engaging in operations in the Middle East. I really hope that this idea goes over well with…

I said "hero," not "saint" - we all have our foibles. If America wants a "saint" for its next president, perhaps it should be negotiating with Rome. Because of what McCain endured in Vietnam, I consider him to be a man of honor, in much the same way as John…

I would describe myself as politically apathetic. At the same time, however, given the quality of the candidates in this election I am rather optomistic that we will see some real debate. On one hand, you have Mr. Obama, a man who represents a minority (African American/Mixed) and somebody who…
