• Fort Hood gunman had told US military colleagues that infidels should have their throats cut

  
  Vlad Tepes — Authority: 149
  It seems as if the Obama administration may have a difficult time whitewashing this as not a Muslim act of terror.

  It Must Be the Vapors — Authority: 120
  A post over at Thoughtstreaming was in its usual process of describing what I must assume is the “opposition”, which any blog espousing a political ideology authored by names like Troutsky and Che Bob must, of necessity, have, when along comes this sentence, “ Individual as opposed to collective rights and a ...

• Knowledge, Love, and Civilization

  
  Quiddity — Authority: 425
  Francis Bacon said “Knowledge is power,” and I know of no record of him ever apologizing. What sort of disposition would lead a person to saying such a thing.

  Hiew's Boardgame Blog — Authority: 108
  Lets start with the "misc" part. In July, I made my first ever eBay purchase - an old copy of Civilization (the Gibson Games edition, which is much cheaper than the Avalon Hill edition).
