We hurt too

On this day in 565 CE, St. Columba made the first documented sighting of the Loch Ness monster. Though technically it wasn't documented for another couple-hundred years.

And in 1862, Claude Debussy was born. He is not known to have seen Nessie.

And here's some important (no, really) news you're probably not getting on TV. And she doesn't even flirt with talking about our impending war with Russia (over our support of Georgia, and our infiltration of Poland- this is easily as confrontational as Soviet missiles in Cuba). Many news organizations won't even cover stories relating to 911 anymore, allowing a massive crime to go uninvestigated and unpunished, which I think is a crime in itself. Building 7 -like the others-- was demolished intentionally, it did not collapse as the result of "thermal expansion," which would have been a completely unique event in all of History (that would be called "Catastrophism," and that notion is so silly that debunking isn't even necessary). The timing of the release of that story is also worth noting. It's all part of the big electioneering dance...
