“… one giant leap for mankind.” - Neil Armstrong, July 20, 1969 from Tranquility Base on the moon.
Forty years ago today, long before manned space flight came to be defined as a quick jaunt around the Earth, man reached higher and further. Apollo 11 and the men who blasted [...]

Sarah Palin just resigned as Alaska governor. She announced her resignation in an odd rambling speech. Pundits in the media are speculating the resignation frees her up to run for president in 2012. Hogwash. No one resigns their first term as Governor with such a nutball speech and expects to have a national political future. She [...]

According to ”Sunita Paul”’s bio on American Chronicle, she is “considered as an expert of South Asian affairs, counter-terrorism and international relations.” However, when writing about militants in Bangladesh she plagiarizes published and copyrighted articles from Bangladesh’s leading English language [...]

Neel Kashkari is gone:
Herbert M. Allison Jr., the chief executive of Fannie Mae for the last six months, has emerged as a candidate to become the [...]

I guess I am not the only one who “Sunita Paul” plagiarizes. It appears that she even plagiarizes big name reporters.
Consider the April 5, 2009 article by “Sunita Paul” in the American Chronicle entitled “DPRK: Missile-Satellite Controversy” - one of the very few articles not focused on Bangladesh. The article is about the North Korean [...]
