03.27.08CivilYeah, it's like crack. Only not as expensive and detrimental to yourself and your loved ones. Your productivity, however, may plummet to zero for a few days as you conquer the likes of the Persian, Greek and Mongolian empires.Now I remember why I stopped playing video games, they suck me in like a tractor beam.

03.25.08UCF Blog vanity; aka, the other place I post stuffI usually don't cross-pollinate, but I am particularly proud of these three posts I did on the Orlando Sentinel UCF Community Blog. Most notably because I shot pictures, video or both for all three. It was good practice for doing mobile journalist work (mojo for short). However, a real mojo would get full stories as well as the photos and video. I just got enough to do a blog post.Street preachers at UCF an endless source of amusementFive years later, UCF students speak out on the War in IraqAnti-abortion group's misguided display insults Jews, American Indians, blacks, Rwandans, the Sudanese ...

03.24.08Bush POD, albeit a bit lateI know Easter is here and gone, but how could I not post this photo (via FP)?President George W. Bush greeted his new Secretary of the Treasury stating, "I guarantee he won't count all his eggs before he throws glass stones, heh heh."OK that was lame, but it was the best I could do. I don't know what is better though, Bush with the Easter Bunny or Bush with the pardoned turkey.

03.24.08Retired Gen. Barry McCaffrey makes some predictionsRetired Gen. Barry McCaffrey made these predictions in a brief to the military:Oof, those are pretty heavy. McCaffrey seems like quite the hawk for war and plays up to the fears of terrorist attacks and nuclear Iran.McCaffrey has been a continuously pro-war, even writing an optimistic report in June 2005. He's was also accused of misconduct and war crimes during the Gulf War, so you still have to take that into consideration when reading these predictions.Still, it's interesting to see how different brains and perspectives see the war and envision the future.

03.24.08Hillary’s spotty memory about her trip to BasraD'oh!Nice cover from the Clinton aide. Not unlike Romney's memory of his father "meeting" Martin Luther King Jr.Here's another video for a little more context.Interesting, to say the least. Kind of makes you wonder what other things she remembers.

03.19.08Questions the press should have asked about IraqOn the anniversary of the war, Greg Mitchell over at Editor & Publisher has a fantastic list of questions the press should have asked in the lead up to the War in Iraq.-- Why is the U.S. threatening an optional war if 59% of Americans do not support a U.S. invasion without the approval of the U.N. Security Council, according to a Feb. 24-26 USA Today/CNN/Gallup Poll?-- If our allies have the same information on WMD -- and the Iraqi threat is so real -- why do some of our friends refuse to take part in your coalition?-- You praise ...

03.19.08State of the News Media 2008 released by PEJThe Project for Excellence in Journalism has released the State of the Media 2008, its annual report of, well, the state of the news media. Duh. As usual, the report is incredibly dense and has a wealth of information sectioned off by industry. If you are at all involved in the news media or have an interest on the scrutiny that it is willing to put itself under, check it out.If not, move along. I'm sure there will be some movie trailers along soon or a random YouTube video.

03.19.085 years of war in Iraq, what is it good for?Today marks the fifth anniversary of the war in Iraq, as you have no doubt heard on every news station so far today. The NY Times has some good stuff up, as does WaPo and even my own paper The Orlando Sentinel. No doubt today you will see countless time lines, hundreds of pictures and hear pundits from both sides screech about how the war is or is not working. It will be a day of endless speculation and 20-20 hindsight. The thing to remember though is that during all of this time there have been men and women over there. Not ...
