A big thank-you to CNN for picking up my post on Roméo Dallaire!
EDIT: 17:40 EST
Proving that the world is in fact a Möbius strip of awesomeness, this CNN article just linked to my post about the article linking to me. To the CNN Web person who’s been checking out this little site: you sure […]

They claim voters often say they’ll go one way, then act quite […]
