Ricardo Sanchez, former senior U.S. military commander in Iraq, gave orders to cover up the cause of death for some female American soldiers serving in Iraq. Last week, Col.

If I don’t cut it out, this is going to start sounding like Simon’s journal… (ha. No offense, dude). Trying to work on rewrite of fantasy saga today. Haven’t been sleeping well all week, and the last two nights I’ve had horrible leg cramps that have literally woken me up from a sound sleep 3-4

The guy using the women’s restroom here at the office and leaving behind puddles of urine and raised toilet-seats in his wake has been apprehended. One of the women here in the office (not me) put the smack-down on him. No more urine on my shoes. Yay! I get enough of that bullshit on the
