On The Third Hand tackles software piracy in the Philippines by both individuals and call center businesses. While I understand the individuals lack of funds over there, the businesses who want to receive business from the United States should be cracked down on.

Joe Gandelman posting at Dean's World tackles immigration reform. Well he doesn't really tackle it he more poses this question:

Politics trumps serious issue resolution...which raises the question: is this an issue Americans honestly want to address or is the status quo beneficial to the U.S.?

The Education Wonks tell us that military style high schools are becoming ever more popular. There are actually long waiting lists to get in them now.

Fellow Bear Flagger McGehee Zone is heading towards 250,000 hits. Head over there and give him a little shove. Congrats McGehee!

Finally, congrats to Speed of Thought who recently crossed the 200,000 hits mark!
