Free kibbles

Miami police employee high tech drones.

US House of Representatives pass a bill declaring the internet a terrorist tool, paving the way for controls on the internet. More power to the government, less freedom for us.

British teacher charged with crime in Sudan because her class named a Teddy Bear Mohammad. This is quite a test for the British government. 7 year old student named bear after himself. Heck, every other Muslim seems to be named Mohammad. N.O.W., the feminist organization who will get new powers for addressing women's rights overseas, has no comment. The worst part of this is this has nothing to do with radicals. This is the norm for a major Islamic nation.

Dutch lawmaker making movie exposing fascist passages in the Koran. I'm sure every religious book can be exposed in this fashion, but it will be interesting to see how free speech and terrorism intersect. This is a brave guy.

Pakistani President Musharraf gives up his position as head of the military. This satisfies one of the demands Bush put on him.

No resolution in talks over Kosovo. But Democrats keep telling us that negotiations are a magic bullet that never fail.

Israel and Fatah
agree to talks about Middle East peace. They're doomed to fail like all the previous talks. There won't be peace in the Middle East until the world grows a spine and relentlessly hunts down and kills or captures all the terrorists.

Americans are happier with the turn of events in Iraq. I wonder how people interpreted bring troops home "as soon as possible." Liberals interpret that to mean immediately, but I doubt the mainstream public interprets it that way. To me, as soon as possible means as soon as we've won.

Northwestern University study shows that juries convict innocent defendants 25% of the time.

Reason says banishment of sex offenders is ineffective. This is such an emotional issue, effective policy is hard to come by.

2007 6th warmest year on record. But if man-made CO2 was warming the planet, it would have to be the hottest year ever. CO2 keeps going up, but global temperatures have been constant for nearly a decade.

Eating meat produces more greenhouse gases than traveling. Eco-loons can't make up their mind how they want to hurt us most.

Scott Bloch of US Office of Special Counsel under investigation for wiping all files from his own computer.

Republicans in Portland are trying to recall school board members who voted to allow schools to provide birth control for grades 6-8. Now that's my kind of activism. We should have a robust ability to recall all our elected officials, and we should use it to protect our freedom.

Bill introduced to make Puerto Rico the 51st state.

Huckabee leads in Iowa. Conservatives don't about freedom. Republicans starting to expose Huckabee.

John Edwards is not pro-choice on health care - he's mandating socialized medicine.

Bill Clinton attempts to rewrite history about his support for the Iraq war. Lying is like breathing to the Clintons.

Sitting for hours at a time is bad for you. I can't sit that long anyway. I have to get up and move around every hour or so.

Genetically engineered supermouse can't get cancer.

Voyager 2 to pass through the terminator shock around solar system. Since there's no sound in space, why do we mark the point where the solar wind goes subsonic? We should mark where it gets surpassed by radiation from interstellar space.
