The Kaptain's Log
by Kapt Kanada, aka Manuel Miles
'Cut and Run', you murdering slime! In 1973, the last American combat troops left Viet Nam. Two years later, the last CIA torturers ran to the roof of the US embassy and clambered aboard helicopters. They had lost, and they "cut and ran".

The Price of Fame; The Cost of Freedom
by Lady Liberty
I read numerous online news sources on a daily basis, and I check many of them more than once throughout the day. And so it was that I heard the news of Pat Tillman's death sooner, perhaps, than many. As I read the sketchy details and looked at the photo of Tillman in his proud Ranger uniform, tears came to my eyes. In just a few words and with a single photo, I felt his loss. Oh, certainly it was the merest shadow of the loss his family must feel, but it was a loss none-the-less.

Do Fraternities Deserve Their Bad Reputations?
by Wendy McElroy
The Frat-Boy. He's the drunken party-animal who date rapes when he isn't playing childish pranks or hazing. He's the low brow, sports-sated rich kid who is rude to women and minorities. We are all familiar with this image of the frat-boy from a flood of TV shows and movies that have revealed him to us. We know frat houses are part of the "rape culture" on campus because feminist studies such as the much-cited "Fraternities and Collegiate Rape Culture" (1996) tell us so.
