“Hit any key to continue.” It seems that every time I have a deadline or project that just has to be finished, something goes wrong with my computer. It might have something to do with the fact that I always look into all of the pop-ups that show up on my screen. It is too risky not to. I may have won a million dollars or the trip of my dreams. I also have a new iPad, an iPhone and a case of soda coming in any day now. You can’t imagine all of the really neat things you can get just by just clicking on those little arrow...

It looks, finally, like U.S. troops will be leaving Iraq. According to President Barack Obama, the withdrawal means U.S. forces will be “home for the holidays,” fulfilling a campaign promise he made in 2008. No doubt the withdrawal will be a major plank in his re-election bid next year. However, the Status of Forces Agreement made with the Iraq government was signed by former President George W. Bush in November 2008. We’re just happy that this long national nightmare appears to be over. The Iraq war has lasted more than... Full story
