"Just like "detective work" after the 1993 World Trade Center bombing insured that the Twin Towers would continue standing. I'm so glad those big boxes still adorn the lower Manhattan skyline."

Wow, Ace. . . it's good to see you still using sarcasm here at your site. It's refreshing, like a Fresca.

It's nice to see you sticking it to Tubby, but by putting that bum in your byline you're giving him attention he craves, but doesn't deserve.
He's trying to co-opt your site.

But they are!

My 6th grader brought home a homework assignment that required him to read a set of worksheets that were a kid's fictional journal and then match the items mentioned with the location described.

The trip described took place 'last year'.

Item 3 - a Playbill

Item 4 - a photograph of NYC that Timothy took from the observation deck of the North Tower of the World Trade Center.

I'm having him do his Foreign Country report on Rhodesia.

Geeze, fantasy boy is getting billing for some stupid shit thing he said? I think someone needs to revisit the troll feeding policy. ahem.

Good old fashioned detective work? Yup, half way through the invasion of Normandy, our NCIS was able to determine that its German troops manning machine guns that were firing on the troops. Ok, ok, but seriously, I am sure that any such "detective work," work as you two put it, is really a result of either interrogation, a coercive interogation, data mining or a lucky break. Investigative work is reactive, unless you are using psychics. Otherwise, its a forensic exercise, like "well, it looks like they used that door there."

Spin that, bitches

What are we supposed to do after all the neat-o detective work? Issue subpeonas?

At that point, we get Clinton to hit them up for contributions to his presidential library. Duh.
