Quote of the day

(The National Counter Terrorism Center has) "access to all the databases of all the agencies. There is total sharing. But I'm concerned that they don't have the easy ability to draw linkages between the various databases... It's not clear to me that at the National Counter Terrorism Center today... (the computer system) will automatically [...]

More witchcraft hysteria

So...  I guess I really have to admit that the Thursday blog has turned into an Every-Other-Friday blog as of late. I had a good friend who used to say "a bad excuse is better than no excuse." Right now, though, my only excuse is "I've been crazy busy and preoccupied." Lame, I know. But an excuse, nonetheless. So for this edition of the [...]

Lessons from the police; tasering cripples is good, bestiality is better, and if you must grope your server don’t dare tip her.

I have been remiss in my Thursday duties of late. I realize this and I'm sorry. I'll say only that "real life" (i.e. the stuff you have to do to pay those pesky bills) has been very busy of late and beg your pardon for my slacking.

The first involves the 70 year old mayor, Carty Finkbeiner (and no, we didn't make that name up, but we wish we had) breaking up a [...]

This is a nice game… for me to THURSDAY ON!

This is a nice game… for me to THURSDAY ON!

So, we missed the "because it's Thursday" feature last week. Sorry about that. I had a whole thing on weird law enforcement planned, but I read Mack's articles on the tasering of grandmothers and thought to myself "this is too serious an issue to dilute with frivolous arrest stories." But this week we're back, and leading off with the neatest [...]

Thursday’s Child has far to go

Thursday’s Child has far to go

Here at Anomaly Magazine, we're learning to love our "Because it's Thursday" features. We all hold down full time jobs. This is a labor of love for us. But because it isn't our job, it's easy to let it slide when things start getting hairy. The Thursday feature reminds us, at least once a week, that we've got this red-headed step child sitting [...]
