Scary Headline of the Day 0

Flight school operator in Norfolk charged as illegal immigrant

(The link to the individual story isn’t working right now. Link is now working.)

EIght column inches in, on the runover page, you learn that he illegally entered the country twenty years ago

when he was eight years old.

No mention of whether he entered with his parents or smuggled himself in.

Afterthought: No, I’m not saying there’s no issue here. It was a screw-up in background checking to let him set up a business at the airport–not because he’s illegal, but because the background checkers didn’t do their jobs very well.

But it’s not a preferred position (top right) front page screw-up. It’s a page five screw-up at best.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
