I never know how to treat family “issues” on the blogosphere, but since this current situation is shaping a new theory I’m working on (and because frankly, this story is so over the top), I’ve decided to share it here.

I pretty much spent the bulk of last year working on this report for the government of Bermuda. It’s finally complete. My boss and coworker have gone down to Bermuda (twice now) to report the findings. Here’s one article about it and here’s another. And here’s the entire report (all 233 pages of it) are [...]

at the hands of the police. I hadn’t read my google reader in a few days, and I first came across the story over at postbougie. A quick google search provided no actual news, except for blogs. I’m so pissed. The story: around 2 am on New Years a few brown men were pulled off [...]
