The Price of Drugs, Turkey, and Recession
OK, so America’s in a recession. Big surprise. Nonetheless, post-Thanksgiving sales were solid and hopeful. In addition, although there was a large slump following the 9/11 attacks, it seems that illegal drug smuggling has returned to normal levels. So be prepared to pay the old street value again.

You Say Taliban, I Say Taleban
The News Lick posted a blurb on March 12, 2001, about the Taleban destroying ancient sculpture that was deemed "anti-Islamic." Now their movement is spelled "Taliban." Did we miss something, or are these guys just creepy?

As Kabul Falls, So Falls Kabul Falls
The Taliban have left the Afghan capital of Kabul, just days after being driven from Masar-e-Sharif by the Northern Alliance. Taliban leaders characterize the retreats as “strategic withdrawal.” Had bin Laden’s father tried that a few years back, the world would be a lot different today, wouldn’t it.

Big Bomb, Pretty Name
The U.S. has used the infamous BLU-82 “daisy cutter” in Afghanistan. The 15,000 pound bomb incinerates everything for 600 yards, and sends a shock wave for miles.
