Now here is a twist to the Iraq prison abuse scandal that I haven't heard from any of the other media outlets.

Family.org - CitizenLink - FNIF News - Iraq Abuses Tied to Pornography?

When I saw the pictures on the Internet that had been released showing abuse of Iraqi POWs I was somewhat confused. The pictures didn’t appear, to me, to be of people being beaten or being skinned alive or being burned while hanging from a tree or even being beheaded. They were pictures of naked men with bags over their heads posed in precarious positions. It wouldn’t surprise me if the whole incident stems from an over exposure to pornography.

I have to start writing more! So I'll start tonight at 11:00 pm, when I should go to sleep. Now I need a good subject to write about? How about this morning?

On my way to work this morning I was listening to Imus, like I always do, and he was interviewing Jim Lehrer. Apparently Jim is an avid fiction writer and he has just finished a new book, “Flying Crows”. The book is about these two bums that escaped from an asylum and have been living in a train depot for the past 60 years. The story is based on some truth and Jim said that he had fun researching places and people for the book. His wife, Kate, was also being interviewed because she just published her first book, “Confessions of a Bigamist”. Imus was his usual rude self but the interview made me think, “Maybe I could write a book?” Nah! I don’t even like to write.

Weather I like to write or not I do believe that I am getting to a point in my life where I need to start putting down more of my thoughts on paper, or the Internet. I have started many journals but they all have only a few entries and that’s it. I definitely like this blog thing; it makes it easy to publish short paragraphs about anything. And I like typing in MS Word to fix all of my spelling mistakes.

So long for now.
