Another tragedy at Virginia Tech
Another murder.
From the Richmond Times Dispatch:
BLACKSBURG — Haiyang Zhu and Xin Yang, two Chinese graduate students at Virginia Tech, were seemingly doing nothing more than enjoying a quiet conversation and a cup of coffee together at a campus cafe when, abruptly, Zhu pulled a knife.
In the following seconds, the school’s police chief said today, Zhu savagely attacked the 22-year-old woman, cutting off her head.

The recent health care “debate” had both the blue team AND the red team stooping to lows of hysteria and vitriol, getting Americans riled up rather than taking advantage of an opportunity for understanding and education. So it is refreshing to see someone take the latter path, rather than the former, for a change.

Something made me suspicious, so I looked outside to see what the cats were up to, and found that the critter eating all the cat food was not a cat!
Here’s a short video of what I saw on the porch:
Ya, that’s a hungry possum. What I think is funny is the audio of him eating [...]

For example, even John F. Kennedy knew where to tip his hat: in 1962 the former President was entertaining forty-nine Nobel [...]
