Oh please! What nonsense. Just what was the Japanese fleet doing, then? Sight seeing? Fully loaded with bombs?

Al Qaeda Is ‘Alive and Well’ U.N. Report Says Terror Network
Is Still Well-Financed.

No kidding? You mean concentrating on one cell, and not even doing that very well, hasn't cut off the snake's head? I'm shocked, I tell you, truly shocked.

Loose lips sink ships: journalists and war. What exactly, is a journalist's responsibilities in these situations? Help the enemy kill as many of our guys as possible?

Walter Williams is just absolutely brilliant. I'd send my kids to whatever school he chooses to teach at.

Not enough bathroom breaks? Well, maybe one might need more if he were spending his day sampling the product. Don't like it, work somewhere else.

Life possible on Mars? Duh! no Really? Here's the kicker:
But such "terraforming" might require hundreds or thousands of years before it could support more conventional forms of Earth life. And there are other drawbacks as well.

"Of course, there are many potential ethical and environmental problems with this," Kral said.


Eh? What "potential ethical and environmental problems"? If there is no life already, why not put some there? Why not turn Mars into Earth 2? Oh, I know why not! Because Americans or white men may be involved, and they are only capable of destruction and ruin.

I like my sports, but Doug Bandow is right.

A Tax Cut Sen. Ted Kennedy would support. I agree- taxes are way to high on a majority of items purchased by average Americans. The US government used to operate on interstate and international tarriffs alone. What happened? We became too sheep-like?

Bush to UN summit: Bite me. Don't I wish. But, he's not going. Here's the best part of the article:

"They're hoping to beat on him like a Mexican piñata," said Jerry Taylor, director of natural resources studies at the Cato Institute. "That's why they want him there."

Taylor called the summit "political theater," no different from the U.N.-led conference on international racism last year that was marred by virulent anti-Israeli and U.S. demonstrations.

"There are positive things that we can do to improve the environment further, but they are not on the agenda in South Africa," Taylor said.


That last part is the key.

Minority Report. Who needs a crime? Just arrest them all anyway, you know, just to be safe.

Capitalism at it's finest. Unlike socialism, where solutions to problems are just disguises for the problems, capitalism is in the business of finding solutions.

This is a tricky subject. Such resolutions should have automatic expirations, such as termination of curent term in office, for example. Too easily they become tools for later officials to excuse tyrrany. As we can see is happening in this report: an old resolution is being quoted for a current use.

Take the fight to the enemy. It's about damn time we stopped fooling around in Afghanistan and got serious about the war on terror. I see very little to be controversial about this. War on terror is world wide, so our theatre of operations should be the whole damn world. Anyone other than journalists have a dissenting opinion?
