BITS & PIECES for October 7 - 13*

• Chalk one up for the good guys: Bolivia will stop using WHINSEC (Mike)
• Eww. Just plain eww. (Mike)
  
• Marines: Move us from Iraq to Afghanistan (Mike)
  
• Ever the conspiracy theorist, I think there is much more to the story about an Air Force plane flying last month to Texas while carrying six fully functional nuclear bombs. However, this article raises questions about the breakdown in the chain of command that "lost" the bombs for 10 hours. (Mike)
• Man faces up to 30 years in prison for stealing one donut (Mike)
• Target sells 2 boxes of rocks to girl for birthday (Mike)
  
• What I find most disturbing about all the stories of recalled meat during the past couple of years is the fact that no mention is ever made about the hundreds of thousands of cows that were slaughtered for what turns out to be nothing. It's a great example of the totally immoral disjoint between our "advanced" species and others. (Mike)
