Scientists claim to have induced particles to travel faster than the speed of light. As amazing as this sounds, there have been several experiments that seemed to violate the special law of relativity. Further, the age of expansion in the early universe seems to violate the special law of relativity. The special law of relativity, like Newton's laws, will eventually be found to be an incredibly accurate approximation given our current environment, but it will not apply universally in time or to quantum particles.

Authorities demand the removal of anti-war posters because of supposedly non-standard adhesive. This sounds like bull to me.

China and Russia playing joint war games.

Seniors moving to Mexico for nursing care. This makes perfect sense. The free market in action. Since liberal policies, mostly the welfare state, began destroying families, seniors have fewer ties to family, so they find the cheapest quality care they can, and everything is cheaper in Mexico.

Liberals invent story that White House was not going to let Gen. Petraeus and Amb. Cocker testify before Congress on Sept. 15 about the effectiveness of the new strategy in Iraq. This is complete horse****. The plan was always to have them testify. I like how they say "White House clarifies" and attempt to use that to mean they White House somehow gave in to something it had never planned to do.

Iran condemns US missile defense. Insane nations like Iran and Russia don't think other nations should be able to defend themselves from missile attacks. Once again, thanks to Ronald Reagan for making missile defense a reality despite the ignorance of nay-sayers.

Jose Padilla convicted on terrorism charges.

Finally, a hurricane. And it might get big.

This addresses one of my major pet peeves. Anti-bacterial soap is no better than regular soap at cleaning. Using these soaps is like failing to take all your antibiotics - all it does is create bacteria that is harder to kill. Yet you can hardly find regular soft-soap anymore. Enough with the anti-bacterial soaps.

It's long been known that Pakistan supported the Taliban before 9/11. This isn't news.

Army suicides, amazingly rare, highest in 26 years. Do we need some scientist to explain that wartime is more stressful than peacetime? The news in this number is how shockingly low the suicide is rate is.

Reason discussed the costs of combating carbon dioxide emissions.

How the government abuses the use of drug informants (snitches).

Reason discusses the limits of Congress' ethics reform.

Reason highlights Hitler's Nazi welfare state. There's a reason the word socialist is in the name of the party.

Slate explains how the Fed injects money into the economy.

Slate contends the choice between treating terrorists as soldiers or criminals is a false debate. The answer is we use whatever tools necessary, either the military or justice system to stop them.

Is anybody surprised that the MSNBC newsroom booed Bush's State of the Union address? It shouldn't be.

Karl Rove may have been the architect of the demise of post Reagan ostensibly small-government Republican party, but he's smart enough to realize that Hillary Clinton is unelectable.

Dramatically highlighting the vagueness of the definition of life, the chemical actions of interstellar dust may fit the current definition of life.
