What's going on with funding for the Peace Corps? Nearly a year ago, several news reports noted that the Peace Corps was being funded through a continuing resolution. But a Google news search doesn't turn up anything recent. This is from a Huffington Post piece last February:
On Saturday night, dissident republicans attempted to detonate a 400 pound bomb outside the Policing Board's Headquarter's in Belfast, Northern Ireland. On the very same day police foiled an attempt to assassinate a Catholic man who had joined the Police Service of Northern Ireland. Five individuals have been questioned in connection with the plot.
Late last month Marketplace Money did a story on "hauls," online video diaries about the junk people buy. Call me a Luddite, but that makes me want to cuddle up with Tolstoy's War and Peace. If you have a different reaction it might be because you--like so many savvy entrepreneurs in the information age--are seeing dollar signs where others might see cultural decline.
Remember the Bosnia intervention? Back in the days of easy, feel-good wars fought from above? In fact, America's involvement in Bosnia was going to be so simple that then-President Bill Clinton promised U.S. service men and women they would be "home by Christmas." (It was never clear whether President Clinton meant Christmas 1995 or 2004.)
