Well, here’s ten things you ought to know about health care before things go bad, or before things get worse. You are your own best advocate. Not your doctor. Not the nurse that comes in your room.

10 Ways to Make Money Online
One of the most popular blog posts on the Internet is always about how you, the reader, can make money online. If I had a dime for every one of these posts, well… I’d have made money online. One way to make money on line is to open a p0rn site. Not starring you, of course. No one in their right mind would pay money to see you naked. Though, it occurs to me, the ones who would, would be very interesting people.Anyway, you need to find some young woman [sorry, but guys don't make BIG BUCKS ONLINE] who is just 18 or looks like she’s 18 or is just willing to take her clothes off. In other words, the sole requirement is a willing naked woman. Another way is to sell … Read entire article »

Ten Government Sites for War on Terror News
For those who have not been paying attention, the government of the United States makes a great deal of information available about the War on Terror. Free, gratis, you could print it in your paper… No one does, of course. But, they could. Here are some sites for War on Terror information: Multi National Force – Iraq: A dozen or more press releases nearly every day. Documents fighting, rebuilding, and all of the many doings in Iraq. Feature stories, photos, too. Combined Joint Task Force – 82: The American site for the war in Afghanistan. Much improved in the last year. Feature stories, news releases, and lots of photos. Not all troops are under US control, so also look at the NATO site. International Security Assistance Force: The NATO side of the Afghan war. … Read entire article »

Ten Heroes Needing Recognition
Every now and then you read a plaintive cry in one media outlet or another about the lack of heroes in the War on Terror. The sad truth is that when a man or woman is a hero both the military and the media fail to cover the story. Many heroes’ stories are found only in the Military Times or the Times version for their branch of service. I’ve covered just over 300 stories here at America’s North Shore Journal and each and every one cries out for more recognition. Here are the stories of ten American heroes whose stories, I believe, call for far greater recognition than they have received. Should each one of these brave men be a candidate for a future Medal of Honor? The MoH’s for this … Read entire article »

Ten Great Blogs Following the War on Terror
Some of the following may not be blogs in the traditional sense anymore, having evolved into “New Media” I don’t have an expression to call them, so I’m calling them blogs. I am not considering my own projects, either, Terrorist Death Watch and America’s North Shore Journal. These are unrelated, and my selection was unsought. Blackfive: One of the first milblogs, military blogs. Matt and his co-bloggers have the War covered from multiple angles, all oriented to the grunt on the ground. The Long War Journal: Bill Roggio has been a part of creating what is perhaps the top “New Media” site about the War on Terror. It used to be a blog. Now it’s YOUR source for reports from all over the globe with on-target analysis. Milblogs: This is what happens when … Read entire article »

Ten Things the Internet Could Make You Say
Yeah, this IS my house on Google: Earth, but… that’s not my car in the driveway. I don’t know how that site appeared on my computer. What’s the difference between Reply and Reply All? Officer, I thought you said you were fifteen? What do you mean my web cam was on? They can’t tell who sent that e-mail. Ron Paul, Ron Paul, Ron Paul, Ron Paul… I like a black background with white letters. The best place to blog is Live Journal. My readers like all the quizes I post. … Read entire article »
