Britain has 1 camera for every 14 British subjects. Wow. And we're following right behind them.

Hundreds of thousands of people in Turkey protest for secularism. This is quite the battleground between secular and sectarian ideals.

Iran to attend conference on Iraqi security. I don't understand this. Why would we allow an enemy to listen to our plans? That's like inviting Hitler to discussions about D-Day.

US construction projects in Iraq are failing. Maliki accused of firing prominent military and police commanders to further sectarian goals.

Considering that Russia is opposing the US on all fronts, and after Russia's failure to meet obligations on the space station, it's no wonder NASA turned down their offer to jointly explore the moon.

Immigrants to rally on May 1. Sounds like a great opportunity to capture illegal immigrants and deport them. It's bad enough we allow illegals to break our laws to enter the country, but we sure shouldn't allow them to further disrupt our lives by blocking traffic.

Retired general advocates undermining the constitutional authority of the commander in chief. Needless to say, this is a terrible idea regardless of who delivers the message.

Retired CIA director Tenet claims CIA warned Bush administration of anarchy and possible breakup of Iraq. We all already know that the administration, Congress, the press, and the people outrageously underestimated the negative consequences of invading Iraq, but it no longer matters. We still have to win.

How is this satellite merger good for competition? This is one of the few reasons government should get involved in the free market - to protect competition. This merger should not be allowed.

Cancer linked to vitamin D deficiency. I'm skeptical. How could this have been missed for decades?

College classes evacuated over box of condoms. Our knee-jerk approach is security is ridiculous.

The ashes of James Doohan, who played Scotty on the original Star Trek, were sent into space.

Mark Steyn provides examples of how mischief makers manipulate American malaise.

Jeff Jacoby points out that Democrats are willing to lose the war in Iraq because they think they can gain politically. I just published a very similar, but harsher, essay, but I won't be able to post it until next week.

Jack Straw on British identity. A bunch of words with no real content like modern multiculturalism itself. The responses are very interesting.

George Will recalls a real environmental disaster during a real warm period - the dust bowl.

More socialism from Obama - proposal for government wage fixing. Here's some information exposing the myth that women get paid less for equal work.

Ron Paul says we should pull out of Iraq immediately. I strongly disagree with him because the cost of defeat is immeasurable as are the benefits of victory. But Paul is correct that we shouldn't have invaded Iraq, and he describes the run-up to war very well, properly assigning blame to Congress for unconstitutionally deferring its power to declare war to the President. Despite my disagreement on Iraq, he's still my favorite of all the presidential candidates.
