Over time I have seen that the sports and movie review posts get significantly fewer views than the general news posts. Often the number of views for those is less than the number of people on the ping list, which rarely happens with the main news. So I have triplicated the ping list. There is now the main list, which includes everyone, a movie ping list, and a sports ping list. For now they all have the same names. (Except for the person who freep mailed me this morning.) If anyone wants off any of the three notify me by reply - public or private - and I will tailor the lists accordingly.

Thank you all for your continuing interest in these historical posts.

So Mussolini keeps expanding his army. Too bad for them he didn’t modernize their equipment.

I know I posted this yesterday but since the text of his speech ended up in today's paper I figured I should re-post the audio for those interested.

Ya know what Homer? I find myself skimmimg these articles and even bypassing. I am here living my life and trying to make a buck and provide for my family. It seems the news is horrible and there is nothing I can do about it, wow does this sound familiar?
