The war to end all wars is over and now the jazz is playing, the hems are rising, and demon rum has been banished. So knock three times and say 'Johnny says hi' at the back door of the joint. It's time to grab some giggle water, dance the charles all nite with your Sheba, and everything is gonna be Jake.
Silent Cal Silent No Longer
From footage of President Calvin Coolidge filmed in 1924. Note the use of a very primitive analog teleprompter.
Richard Fernandez: Getting to the Right of the Boom
The biggest problem with our airport security is that it's focused on finding bombs instead of the bombers. Plus security at the airport is really only a last-ditch way of stopping bombs. In the long run the only solution is to get to the left of the boom:
The process of stopping the bomb before it was emplaced is called “left of the boom”. It is a term used to describe the process of going downstream of the IED emplacement process. According to the Washington Post it was “vernacular developed by the Army in 2003: that is, to attack the bombmaking construct well before IEDs are emplaced. That involves understanding the financiers, bombmaker cells, and other aspects of this, long before a bomb appears at the roadside.”

Two of the Gosselin Kids Have Been Expelled From School
Apparently for acting out and 'rage issues'. They're now being homeschooled by their mother. Allow me to point out that if they had been adopted by wolves as I suggested, bad words and mocking other kids wouldn't be a problem today.
