NATO rescues hostages from Taliban.

Our 2 stupid parties are threatening to shut down the government because Bush wants only $2.9 trillion in spending and Democrats want $3.2 trillion in spending. It's surreal to think these idiots are spending that much of our money, but they refuse to agree on exactly how much and for what. In the mean time, our bridges are falling down because we don't maintain them. $2.9 trillion is $9,667 for every citizen in the country. That's $38,667 for a household of 4. Democrats demand even more. Why in the world do we continue to elect these same idiots over and over 94% of the time? Stop the madness.

I hope the government shuts down. Really shuts down, not just partially shuts down. Everybody could keep 100% of their paychecks and recognize how much better off they are without government holding them down. Businesses wouldn't have to pay taxes either. Nobody would have to pay gasoline tax. All the embedded federal taxes in goods would disappear and prices would drop by 23%, inclusive. Investment would soar. Jobs would race back to America so fast we couldn't fill them all. People used to getting checks from the government could get jobs instead. The few people who can't work could get charity, which would be overflowing because generous Americans would have so much extra money in their pockets.

Shut down the government. Please.

UN wastes its time on global warming meeting. Something tells me they aren't planning to adapt to climate change. Al Gore's lies, even though they've been thoroughly exposed, have built so much momentum with the public that policy makers are trying to force damaging policies on civilization. Climate change is natural and inevitable. We have to grow our wealth to adapt, not stunt our growth which will leave us less capable of adapting.

Syria is invited to a middle east summit. I think we should do all we can to separate Syria from Iran.

New York legislature considers cutting Columbia funds. I had no idea that taxpayers were subsidizing Ahmadinejad's appearance at Columbia. Why are taxpayers being forced to pay for that terrorist to speak? New York should cut off funds. The president of Columbia attacks Ahmadinejad in introduction. This doesn't make up for giving him a platform.

How can a highway be a fantasy if it's a real Texas freeway project? Protectionism is stupid, but a Mexican superhighway is no fantasy. It's starting in Texas.

Transgender people getting special protections in South Florida. Why? Since we're all supposed to be equal in the eyes of the law, nobody should get special protections.

New York Times admits it should never have given MoveOn.org a discount for the "Betray Us" ad. Too little. Too late. The damage is done. They are once again exposed as a liberal propaganda organ.

Hillary Clinton refuses to commit to pulling our troops out of Iraq by 2012. She's taking a responsible position. Too bad she didn't do the same on the MoveOn.org ad.

French President Sarkozy wants to lead Europe into a responsible new era. Let's hope so.
