Chinese army hacks into Sec. of Defense Gates' Pentagon computer. China denies. As if they would acknowledge it. More.

Florida sheriff resigns, pleads guilty to corruption. It's everywhere.

Released criminal sues police to get his confiscated porn collection back.

British consider dropping socialized medicine coverage for those with unhealthy lifestyles.

Al Gore makes me puke. As the Czech president so accurately put it, socialist policies championed by Gore and his church of man-made global warming are more dangerous to freedom than communism. Gore knows it, and he's lying through his teeth about the state of the science of global warming. This is a quote from the most dangerous, accomplished liar in my adult life:

“Modern politics seems to require and reward some capacities that I don’t think I have in abundance … such as a tolerance for … spin rather than an honest discussion of substance. Apparently, it comes easily for some people, but not for me,” Gore says.

I can only hope that when more people realize the facts, Al Gore will become the pariah he so richly deserves.

This article refutes the arguments downplaying the significance of the turnaround in Anbar.
