Free kibbles

How the 2 parties exclude third parties.

Biometric ID system a success in Iraq. I'm sure it is. But you bet that its success in Iraq will be used as the argument for applying it here. Expect to see a lot of articles and talk about how great it is. No thanks.

Bush was aware that North Korea was secretly sharing nuclear technology with Syria. Why in the hell would we continue negotiating with North Korea while they were going behind our backs to proliferate nuclear weapons? Why would we let them proliferate? Bush's priority is backwards.

In likely Shia power struggle, 2 aides to Ayatollah Sistani were murdered.

The stupid policies of our 2 parties are driving all of us individually and the country into insolvency, but enriching Arabs. Dubai buys 20% of Nasdaq. Qatar and Dubai own nearly half of the London Stock Exchange. We have to stop socialism of the 2 parties in America, return to very small and severely limited government, and adopt the FairTax.

2 students shot at Delaware State University. The shooter is at large. How much do you want to bet that Delaware State University already bans guns?

How is China's use of lead paint in toys a design flaw? China blackmails people with access to their market. They blackmail US officials into taking a soft line agains them by refusing access to any hardliners. They blackmail corporations like Mattel into making phony statements by threatening to kick them out of the country.

Blackwater security back at work in Iraq. So much for kicking them out of the country, as reported a few days ago.

Canadian dollar worth more than US dollar. We can fix this economic backslide by adopting the FairTax. It's simple, and that's why it's so powerful.

Climate change may lead to lush growth of rain forests.

Biofuels may add to global warming. Subsidizing poor substitutes for oil is dumb.

MIT student arrested for wearing a fake bomb to the Boston airport. What could she have been thinking?

Decline of civilization: Man urinates on dying woman. This man should be incarcerated for life.

Dan Rather claims government is influencing newsrooms. Duh. Newsrooms have chosen to become part of the accomplice press. They don't report the news. All they do is parrot the politicians in their favorite party. That's not reporting. And blaming it on government is passing the buck. The news organizations did it to themselves by choosing that path. They also promoted titanic government to the point where listening to politicians takes up a tremendous amount of the press' resources.

Slate on Hillarycare 2.0.

Hsu is charged in New York.

Rudy Giuliani backpedals on gun rights. Only a fool would buy this. Rudy's a gun banner pure and simple.

MoveOn.org wants to make a bigger deal out of the "Betray Us" ad by taking on Bush. They're nuts. All they're doing is taking attention away from the Iraq war and putting it on their own bad behavior. Many people who don't like the war will want to distance themselves from MoveOn.org. On the flip-side, the news Iraq has been relatively good compared to the last 4 years, so maybe the distraction will keep some people from catching on.

Fred Thompson tells the NRA that his wife would make a much better first lady than Bill Clinton. Romney says his wife is prettier than Bill Clinton.

Robert Heinlein's work has been digitized and is available on the web.

Speaking of which, whatever happened to our sci-fi future? Reason tries to blame it on consumers, but they're mistaken. If a robot that could vacuum, wash dishes and windows, and make and deliver drinks existed, people would buy it in volume. Pace of development of the mechanical aspects of robots are a million times slower than their computer brains. Heinlein's moving sidewalks are only useful in extremely limited situations, and take up a huge amount of space. They would be just as limited as trains, be much more expensive, and take up a lot more space. It's a not even a good idea compared to the alternatives.

Contrary to this article, children are not harmed in the least by seeing their parents naked. This article drips baseless, cultural bias. Native cultures all over the world go naked, and men and women went naked for our entire evolution until just recently. Claiming going naked is harmful to kids is just stupid.
