US raid in Sadr City results in at least 49 dead.
Kurdish rebels kill 12 Turkish soldiers in raid, virtually guaranteeing that Turkish troops will cross into Iraq and kill them, possibly sparking a wider war. Do they want a wider war?
Poland votes in snap elections triggered by corruption. Opposition wins in a landslide. People don't like corruption in government. We should try rooting out the corruption in ours.
Louisiana voters elected the son of an Indian immigrant as governor. So much for the bologna that the nation hates immigrants.
Governor declares northern Georgia a disaster area because of drought and asks President Bush to suspend using water that could be used by humans for mussels.
Sex appeal helps Argentinian candidate. Opening this article with a reminder of Hillary's cleavage almost turned my stomach. Yuk.
Can you imagine the ethical issues that come with the ability to steer a hurricane? If officials move a hurricane so it misses a populated area, but it kills somebody else, that family deserves to be compensated. Effectively, this means that government is taking responsibility for any damage a steered hurricane does. And of course, it's in America's best interest to steer hurricanes into Mexico so they don't harm Americans. This opens a dangerous can of worms. We can reduce human suffering, but we have to take responsibility for the resulting suffering. Also, hurricanes are part of the climate's natural check against drought in the South. Georgia could use a good, slow moving, rain producing hurricane about now. Moving hurricanes really will affect climate, at least locally, unlike man-made CO2.
I didn't know the Clinton's dumped their cat after they left the White House. That cat was just another tool to make the Clinton's appear human, and they dumped it like a worn out pair of shoes when they didn't need it anymore.
It's a good thing Harry Reid isn't up for re-election until 2010. Nevada has had enough of him. And while Americans are fed up with Republicans (Democrats keep misreading the polls and deluding themselves into thinking Americans are for them - they're not), this great quote applies to all Democrats and describes why they will likely loose the presidency at least, and possibly the House as well, in 2008.
Let me spell out Harry's problem. No one can win a statewide race in Nevada on a platform that appears anti-military, anti-family, anti-marriage, anti-religion, anti-free speech, pro-illegal immigration, pro-abortion, and pro-taxation. While Harry isn't all of that personally, he clearly projects elements of them all when he's doing the bidding of his party on the national stage.
Fred Thompson gives only a 5 minute speech to Florida GOP voters. Sometimes less is more, but apparently not in this case.
The WSJ explains that by shifting strategy to counterinsurgency in Iraq and killing the terrorists, we won the hearts and minds of the populace. Political reconciliation is following from the grass roots level. Military leaders are now debating how best to capitalize on the military success. Man, that's great news.
George Will says a line-item veto would give the President too much power. I agree. The solution to these huge appropriation bills is to dramatically reduce the size and scope of government to conform with the power enumerated in the Constitution.
Mark Steyn points out that entitlements and the welfare state are the real war on children.
