This is a good article about the vulnerability of utility companies to computer attacks. Some people would suggest that the new "smart meters" offer a new vector of attack. Terrorism "experts" talk about the wider implications to urban infrastructure. Also the impact on people purchasing milkshakes at Dairy Queen is discussed in earnest. Go easy there.

It seems the Free Gaza Movement had the temerity to listen to a speech by Eustace Mullins. Well thats akin to anathema. History is can be so controversial.

Turns out the "rebels" have an agenda. They're not happy with Israel. It seems after the conflict in Syria, the next most important thing is to go challenge Israel. Read about it in Haaretz a newspaper published in, wait for it: Israel. Its actually a balanced and sane editorial tone.
