In the year 2006 I resolve to:
Procrastinate more.

Did terrorists attack Washington with a deadly pathogen?
On Sept. 24th, tens of thousands of protesters marched past the White House and flooded the National Mall near 17th Street and Constitution Avenue in what may have been the biggest antiwar rally since Vietnam. Unknown to the crowd, biological-weapons sensors scattered across Washington were quietly doing their work. Sometime between 10 a.m. on Sept. 24 and 10 a.m. on Sept. 25, six of those machines sucked in trace amounts of deadly bacteria called Francisella tularensis. Why haven't we heard more about this?

Down At The Twist And Shout
Well I never have wandered down to New Orleans
Never have drifted down a bayou stream
But I heard that music on the radio
And I swore some day I was gonna go
Down Highway 10 past Lafayette
To Baton Rouge and I won't forget
To send you a card with my regrets
'Cause I'm never gonna come back home
They got a alligator stew and a crawfish pie
A golf storm blowin' into town tonight
Livin on the delta's quite a show
They got hurricane parties every time it blows...
Never have drifted down a bayou stream

They got a alligator stew and a crawfish pie
A golf storm blowin' into town tonight
Livin on the delta's quite a show
They got hurricane parties every time it blows...

Hiroshima Film Cover-up Exposed
The government didn't want the general public to know what our weapons had done
On Aug. 6, 1945, the United States dropped an atomic bomb over Hiroshima, killing at least 70,000 instantly and perhaps 50,000 more in the days and months to follow. Three days later, it exploded another atomic bomb over Nagasaki, slightly off target, killing 40,000 immediately and dooming tens of thousands of others. Within days, Japan had surrendered, and the U.S. readied plans for occupying the defeated country -- and documenting the first atomic catastrophe.
But the Japanese also wanted to study it. In early September, just after the Japanese surrender, director Sueo Ito set off for Nagasaki. There his crew filmed the utter destruction near ground zero and scenes in hospitals of the badly burned and those suffering from the lingering effects of radiation.
Then, on Oct. 24, 1945, a Japanese cameraman in Nagasaki was ordered to stop shooting by an American military policeman. His film, and then the rest of the footage, was confiscated by the US. An order soon arrived banning all further filming. This footage, along with footage taken by the US military, was locked away for over 40 years. Even today, much of it has never been viewed by the public.
