A suspect in the failed London transit bombings admitted Saturday to a role in the attack but said it was only intended to be an attention-grabbing strike, not a deadly one, a legal expert familiar with the investigation said…
He also reportedly told investigators the bombers were motivated by anger over the […]

So, no Big Funny today. I’m in Washington, and nothing’s funny here.
Still, to make up for that, I’ll clue y’all in to what I’m doing here. I’m making a pilot. With Doug Berman. For NPR’s Sirius Satellite Radio station. It’s a morning show. I’m hosting.
Exciting, yes? But don’t […]

“Blair urges ‘battle of ideas’ to beat al Qaeda”
Yesss! Sadly, Blair went on […]
