An Australian navy ship towing high-tech ping detection gear borrowed from the U.S. Navy heard a ping that lasted for 2 hours and 20 minutes. Then, doubling back, it picked up two distinct pings for 13 minutes. A commercial jetliner has two black boxes, each with a pinger, so if plane wreckage i[...]
A Job For Jenny Durkan
Jenny Durkan, the current U.S. Attorney for Western Washington, appears to be a serious candidate to replace Eric Holder as Attorney General. If she gets the nod, and I hope she will, one of her first and top priorities should be cleaning up St. Louis County, which recent news coverage has reveale[...]
