After receiving complaints from major media organizations that are frustrated by independent journalists trying to cover the same events, the San Francisco Police department responded by revoking press passes from several online outlets. While police policy specifically states th

Former UN Ambassador John Bolton is quoted on Countdown as describing the potential precedent that may have been set when Bill Clinton flew to North Korea to rescue Laura Ling and Euna Lee. While his sentiment that Clinton should have done nothing to free the women is disgusting,

It’s almost 2:00 AM, and I have to get up in less than 5 hours to move my car before street cleaning begins. That and I also have an appointment to get an oil change and inspection at 8AM. The past week has been intense.
