I ran across this today and found much humor in it.  I guess that NULL tag I ordered was not such a great idea after all :-)

Hello World!

An Interesting Read

Jihad! The Secret War in Afghanistan.  I recently found myself with a bit of free time a few weeks ago and decided to dive into a book Joel loaned me.

Start of Something New

Summary
Former Russian president and current Prime Minister Vladimir Putin is the indisputable executive power in Russia. His strength comes largely from his ability to control Russia's opposing political clans. Those two clans, which have been fighting for influence for most of the past eight years, are about to see fresh conflict as a new force, the civiliki, attempt to use Russia's economic crisis as an opportunity to reshape the country.
Editor's Note: This is part two in a five-part series examining the Russian political clans and the coming conflict between them.
