From Otteray Scribe:
In my Pearl Harbor Day diary yesterday, I told the story of my cousin Major James Gates, who was there as a 24-year-old Sergeant, Major Kong offers a TC about the difference between a wannabe badass and a true Badass.
In my diaryElton John in Russia: "I am deeply saddened and shocked", the criticism of Elton John became quite heated at moments. YukatanMan placed the importance of Elton John's words to his Russian audience into crystal clear perspective.
hannah had it right when she commented in Richard Lyons' wonderful diary "Senate Democrat Signals Willingness To Dump Unemployed".
