The US is pulling troops out of Iraq. Bush has taking everything from Democrats regarding the Iraq war, including the lead on pulling troops out. They have nothing left but desperation.
Total economic cost for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are double the advertised cost. But the cost of losing them would be enormously higher. Democrats' new plan to force defeat on their own country in Iraq. They're upping the ante because victory is within reach and Bush is withdrawing troops because of our success, which is bad for Democrats. They're going to lose this battle too, and the election in 2008. It's stunning how badly they've blown their opportunity after Bush's terrible presidency.
Russia and India to undertake joint moon mission. Russia and China are competing with the US to win over India, and India is going to be the big winner. If we lose, we'll probably lose this new Cold War of Terror being waged against us by China and Russia.
Turkish planes attack Northern Iraq but claim it wasn't really an attack.
Detained Bhutto calls for Musharraf to resign. He won't.
Bird flu hits UK.
Pentagon refused to release Iraq war plan to Congress, and Democrats try to turn situation into partisan fight.
Saudi Arabia nixes OPEC production increase. Why should they increase production? It's not in their best interest to pump more fuel at a lower price. It's in our best interest to increase supply so prices will drop and more of our wealth will stay in the US. Gas prices to jump 20 cents.
UN official says ignoring global warming would be "criminal". He has it backwards. Fraud is a real crime, and Al Gore and his false prophets are committing fraud on the entire world. The climate is too complicated for us to say what is causing climate change, though solar output is almost certainly the main driver. What we do no for sure is that man-made CO2 plays such a minuscule role in the greenhouse effect that's it's almost unmeasurable. Gore and company are lying about it.
Amnesty International says NATO turns a blind eye to torture by turning over prisoners to Afghan officials. Another case where we're damned if we do and damned if we don't. These kinds of protests are just attempts to punish the US and our allies by undermining support for our policies.
Nightmare reports including cockroaches on operating tables from Australia's socialized medicine system. This is what liberals have in store for all of us.
Liberals are unhappy that Tancredo points out that terrorists are entering the US across our Mexican border. Too bad.
Reason wonders if Hillary Clinton is really playing the gender card. As I've mentioned before, it's fine for her to emphasize that she's a woman. It's not fine to play the weak little woman being bullied by the big mean men.
Democrats hire MoveOn.org operative Matzzie, who had a hand in MoveOn.org's "Betray Us" ad, to raise soft money for them. If you grandiosly slander a leading US general, Democrats want you on their team. This is one of the few real differences between the parties.
China's tomato farms are booming. China sets up mobile phone network on Mt. Everest.
Protecting tanks with anti-virus software.
Curvaceous women have smarter children. No doubt that's why we're attracted to them.
James Pinkerton examines the reasons we're surrendering our privacy.
Cato proposes a federal spending cap reminiscent of my "Not One Penny More" idea.
Cato explains that corn ethanol is not a viable new energy source. We need to build coal, natural gas, and nuclear power plants to reduce our oil consumption and keep our wealth in America instead of transferring it to the Middle East, Russia, and Venezuela because of an accident of geography.
Cato calls for the abolition of all farm subsidies. Works for me.
Cato hopes the Supreme Court will hear the DC gun control case and reaffirm the plain language in the 2nd Amendment.
Cato calls for an enlightened populace to protect their own privacy and elect politicians who will do the same.
New study explodes the populist myth on income inequality and that the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer. Our income groups are not stratified, but subject to great, mostly upward but some downward, income mobility.
US agrees in principle to UN policy to spend billions to limit global warming. You have to be kidding me. We have to stop this train before the socialists ruin our country.

Vending machine that can determine the age of user by examining facial features employed in Japan to stop minors from buying cigarettes.
The story that Wolf Blitzer has been warned not to allow the boys to gang up on Hillary has been pulled from the Drudge report without notice that I can see. Until it's a news story, we should treat it as unfounded.
Thomas Sowell points out the flaws of the crusade to test every child under 2 for autism.
Pat Buchanan thinks it's less likely today than a few weeks ago that we'll go to war with Iran.
Rich Lowry explains that the silence from the press is our best measure of success in Iraq. Ralph Peters has noticed as well. I first mentioned this phenomenon in my Blackwater essay.
The rules of swarms of animals.
French workers strike over Sarkozy's reforms. They don't want to be more productive for their benefits. This is the welfare mentality created by welfare states and entitlements.
It is heartening to see secular lawyers standing up and protesting in Pakistan. Very different from the usual violent rioters in Muslim countries.
The Democrat Congress can't win because their policies are bad.
Pay-Go is good politics, but raising taxes is not. Why should we wait until 2012 to have a balanced budget? I want Congress to cut spending and the budget today. Then I want them to keep cutting spending so we can pay off our $9 trillion debt and our entitlement obligations until we phase them out completely. And adopt the FairTax so the economy can explode.
Unrest is lining the pockets of tyrants in Iran, Venezuela, Russia and the Middle East. Half the price of oil is based on speculation because of political instability.
