It came out writings about how the US was able to beat the Japanese after WWII and why Japanese...

My tag cloud has returned but I am struggling with figuring out how to manage the container they appear in. Right now they run too far to the right and I want to be able to keep it within a set width.
Any idea how I can do that?
Add this line to your CSS:
#tagcloud a:link {display: inline-block;}
That fixes it in my tests on Firefox 3 for the Mac. I’m not 100% sure what...

What really sets the NYPD apart is the performance of the Intelligence Division, which has about 600 people in it. Remember, this is a police force with, relatively speaking, enormous resources: about 35,000 officers and another 17,000 civilian employees. And it increasingly reflects the diversity of New York City, where 40 percent of the population of 8.5 million was not born in the United...

Snow Day In New York? →
The weather cynics have been right this year - each time a storm was “hyped,” it turned out to be nothing. In this case, the weather junkies are hyping the living daylights out of it, and all seem to be in agreement. Most are betting on a foot of snow for the NYC tri-state area, while some conservative forecasters are suggesting 6″ - and the eternal optimists are even predicting 15-20″ of the...

Blogs Suspended For Being Persian. →

I don’t really understand Twitter.
How and, more importantly, why do random people find and follow you? Why would someone who lives in London want to know the daily proceedings of my life and the random musings that make up my tweets? I mean, it’s not really like a blog where there is a narrative to follow or a collection of internet curiosities to browse. It seems too intimate...
