Escaped Wage Slave - Wisdom No One Wants - a big fat I Told You So project - Battling IOMS (Grandpa Simpson Disease) - Don't call me 'white'. - Dance, please - mass shootings in Chicago don't count - Where's Hitler's scrotum? - NICE! - I get an 'A', Professor? - No intelligent life outside my fishbowl - Wesley Everest has died. He was afflicted with a deep sense of attachment that led to nothing. No sense calling the Sheriff, that would be wasting everyone's time.

Here is a shocking statistic that you won't hear in most western news media: over the past nine years, more US military personnel have taken their own lives than have died in action in either the wars in Iraq or Afghanistan. These are official figures from the US Department of Defense, yet somehow they have not been deemed newsworthy to report. Last year alone, more than 330 serving members of the US armed forces committed suicide - more than the 320 killed in Afghanistan and the 150 who fell in Iraq (see wsws.org).
