One more violent despot goes down. After the world celebrated the death of Osama bin Laden earlier this year, now another black-hearted tyrant is brought to brutal justice.

Reports coming out of Libya this morning alerted the world to the fact that Moammar Gadhafi has been killed. Al Jazeera Arabic broke the news this morning when a member of the National Transitional Council made the announcement. Reports are that the former dictator, no matter how you spell his name, was killed near his birthplace of Sirte.  The announcement had US news bureaus scrambling to confirm the story. NATO did report it struck two pro-Gadhafi military vehicles in the Sirte area. As of now, the US government has yet to confirm or deny the reports of Gadhafi’s death.

It has been quite a year for revolution in the Middle East. First the uprisings in Egypt created a spirit of change that spread across the region, hopping from nation to nation.

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
