Interesting. Weblogs.com has been moved to the desktop and now has a “Favorites” section.

I’m a dead man. Most likely this will be my last post. The pain I’m like to endure will be great. I’m sure it’ll be a slow torturous pain. But honestly dear, your Cadbury Caramel Eggs were calling to me and they forced me to eat them. Whoops! There goes another one! Damn those things…

Kevin Sites captured and released. Kevin Sites was captured on the front lines outside Tikrit a few hours ago. He and his team were held at gunpoint, accused of espionage, fired at, interrogated, threatened with execution, then released after about a four-hour hell.
