NEWS ROUNDUP: Another nail in the cyberpunk coffin: media giants are selling off many non-core assets.

There's urban warfare in the streets of Colombia. Elsewhere in the world, China isn't that great yet, either. And once again, I wonder why Saudi Arabia is our ally.

How the media caught the sniper. And how the experts were wrong about the killer's profile. Also, the sniper case causing a push to fingerprint guns, which I am all over. Even Interpol is catching up with the times.

Oh yeah, the bad economy is now the era of the working poor.

Interesting discussion of the uniquely American hoax of self-esteem being taught in today's schools.
