The Bloodiest Chapter

MoscowâAs Russiaâs summer of terror unfolded, it might have been easy to forget the long and agonizing prehistory to the headline-grabbing horrors that included exploding airliners, suicide bombs and schoolchildren taken hostage.

Adding a voice of experience to the horror stories emerging about soldiers left to rot in the dark corners of Walter Reed Army Medical Center, a patient posts from the hospital. Plus: Robo-chopper sniffs IEDs. In Danger Room.

AS the week wore on, it came to resemble an obscene guessing game. How many: 20,000, 60,000, 125,000? This morning we are beyond any of the arbitrary points people nominate as their worst possible fear.

Gabe: You might notice that in Today"s comic Tycho is reading Bloodlines. We both just wrapped the book up and it"s incredible. I"ve always been a huge Boba Fett fan and now thanks to Karen Traviss I know why.

Tycho:  Gabe keeps coming into the Goddamn office with his Goddamn tales of high adventure, telling me about how there's tokens or some shit in Burning Crusade now, or maybe tiers, and other words I had scoured from my consciousness.  He also says there is hot new five-man content, which initially sounded like pornography.  The comic is correct - I purchased it in a moment of weakness.  As I must often approach you, the cherished reader, to apologize for this or that indiscretion, it may be more appropriate to say that I have moments of strength which are suspended in cowardice and moral decay.

Tycho: The actual writing of this strip was fairly quick, but there's an extended tangent about The Club that lends heft. You can download the podcast for today's comic here, and (as always) get a jump on the official announcements by subscribing to our tender feed. (CW)TB

And his opponent? It's official: embearded death machine Chuck Norris - legendarily described as "the meanest whup-ass mutha west of the Mississippi" - will shortly enter the blood-spattered ring of Vulture Central's Arena of Death to challenge for the "Hardest Man in on the Planet - Ever!" title; 15 rounds of senseless violence in which no quarter is asked, nor given, and those who ultimately fail to come up to scratch are consigned to the crumpled bodybag of history.â¦

Like most decent Americans, I have been sickened by the Michael Vick dogfighting debacle. There can be no excuse for torturing and abusing man's best friend -- forcing dogs to fight to the death, under penalty of death. That a high-profile athlete like Vick carried this out in the name of "sport" makes it all the more disgusting.

It was one of deadliest days for children in 17 months of bloodshed in Iraq. The trauma was palpable yesterday at Baghdad&#39;s Yarmouk Hospital, where the dead and dying were

Oh, how I wish this column was capable of special effects. If it was, the newspaper or computer screen you&#39;re reading this on would suddenly morph into a Howler, one of those bright red envelopes in the Harry

A tip of the hat to Apple for product ruggedness: a MacBook Pro survives a gunshot during a Brazilian mugging. Plus: Teachers give Jobs the Rotten Apple award. In Cult of Mac.

Terror. Not just fear. Not just awe. Not just respect, although there were also healthy doses of all three. The best word to describe the feeling Jimmy Walker brought to me as a fervent Boston College basketball fan was terror.

We made it back into the house last night. There were National Guardsmen at key checkpoints in Poway that were set up to protect neighborhoods from looters. These young men were carrying fully loaded M16s. For a quick second I thought I was in a war zone. That was incredibly intimidating for me.

By Rex Springston, Richmond Times-Dispatch  Feb. 5--When W. Shelton Miles dropped a bomb on the state Senate subcommittee, you could almost see the blood drain from one lawmaker's face.  "This is extraordinarily unusual," said Sen. John Watkins, R-Powhatan.

Tycho: Gabe had to watch the other Gabe today, so we made the comic a day in advance. It's about the guy who wrote that ridiculous Mass Effect article. We decided to put it up a day early because, just as we predicted in the strip, he's taken a swipe at gamers. The young man quoted in his piece did not represent our community well, but locking horns with a professional liar would bring out the worst in anyone. (CW)TB
