Hiroshima: The hard choice, the right choice

08/06/1945 is the date that the United States took decisive action to our war with the Japanese Empire. Three days later the strike on Hiroshima was followed up with a strike on Nagasaki.

The Sex Positive Male Challenge

Someone I never heard of before (Nine Deuce) at a blog I never heard of before called Rage Against the Man-chine put of a fairly amusing example of biased framing on the 27th.

As you can see, I have been making some changes here at Herdwatching. I am strongly considering an audio or audio-video podcast component to the mix and have been breaking out into categories instead of just tagging.
