Actually, early in the video, Scott requests that you go ahead and watch "I Kalam like I see 'em" prior to watching this video. I don't think it's necessary to do it in that order, but however you prefer - I'll link that below this video.IJohn Evohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10868904051881865159noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15599022.post-47373719412560881132011-05-10T11:55:00.000-07:002011-05-10T13:11:35.095-07:00Looking for a new bogeymanAlmost immediately after the death of former terrorist bogeyman Osama Bin Laden, news reports started popping up all over speculating on who would replace him as the Terrorist-In-Chief.
