Yemen

In yet another example of the workings of the bipartisan wisdom that “Because we must invite the world (it’s unthinkable not to), we therefore must invade the world to be safe,” Washington has responded to Nigerian Underwear Bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab’s fizzled attempt to blow up a plane headed to Detroit on Christmas by escalating American involvement in Yemen.

Final NFL Statistics: Diversity

Let's take a look at the final 2009 NFL statistics. As you'll recall, there was a huge hub-bub in the media in the 1990s and 2000s about the need for more black quarterbacks.

As a result, the violence of the battlefield has arrived on the home front.

APEX vs John Does

This is an update with new information about the case of “Tunnel Rat” vs. APEX. It's assumed you have read the first and second story that I wrote on this issue so I don't have to repeat stuff about what is going on.

Could APEX Be Investigated For H-1B Fraud?

A recent eWeek article says it all: "H-1B Visa Enforcement to Increase in 2010".
