A SHORT HISTORY
Oct 23 1983

An Islamic Jihad suicide bomber drives a truck loaded with 2.5 tons of TNT into the US Marine barracks in Beirut, Lebanon. The explosion kills 241 American servicemen. Simultaneously, a smaller truck bomb strikes another base in Beirut, killing 58 French soldiers. Even though the NSA has proof that the Iranians are behind the attacks, President Ronald Reagan begins delivering them weapons for hostages only 39 days later.

The strange repressed movie reviews at American Family

The average American at 300 million. Jim had a lot of comments disliking the tone of the article and some comparisons used. His gist is that rising corporate profits are bypassing the typical worker and going to the very top management and owners. "As the pie grows bigger the superrich grab a larger proportional piece hoping that because of the small gains the medians receive their greed will go unnoticed." (This concentration of conpensation has an interesting side effect of keeping inflation lower.)

Jim recommends The Ghost Map, a historical book.
