Report claims that individual privacy is under threat in the US and Europe. I wonder how much money these people got to state the obvious.

Preparing for new Arizona law, employers are laying off illegal aliens. That was the goal. Wages will quickly rise in Arizona. Americans will flock there to get jobs. Gatecrashers will self-deport. But all we'll hear is bad news.

2007 was the deadliest year for American troops in Iraq. We took high casualties in the first half of the year to make the security gains we've seen in the second half.

Police Chief stopped doctors from performing autopsy on Bhutto.

Australian mandates internet filters.

Because the media doesn't remind voters of McCain's desire to reward gatecrashers with legal status and a path to citizenship, and it doesn't remind voters of the McCain-Feingold abomination against free speech, McCain is rallying in New Hampshire. What media doesn't cover and what it covers inaccurately is just as biased as what it does cover.

So now Hillary is telling prospective voters she risked her life when she was in the White House. I hope those voters had to go puke like I did. The Clintons have Chelsea on a tight leash, she's to be seen, not heard, blocking her from talking to a 9 year old reporter.

How do you "go negative" while getting credit for taking the high road against negative advertising? Mike Huckabee decides not to run negative ad against Mitt Romney, but he displays the ad at the press conference where he announces he's taking the high ground. Masterful manipulation here.

I think Romney's ads are more accurate than CNN's analysis of them. CNN obviously likes McCain, likes amnesty for gate-crashers, and would prefer to see Huckabee get nominated than Romney.

Christopher Hitchens says the Iowa caucuses are undemocratic and corrupt by design.

Despite all the complaining and hand-wringing, this isn't even the worst drought in Atlanta's history. The worst drought was in 1954. The reason this drought was so much more publicized is Atlanta has grown so much that water reserves almost ran out. But global warming cultists will still blame it on man-made CO2, even though there was a lot less man-made CO2 in the atmosphere in 1954.

Scientists claim the odds of a specific asteroid hitting Mars has increased. In fact, the odds haven't changed at all. The asteroid will either hit Mars or not, and that was determined billions of years ago. What changed is our measurements and calculations, not the odds.

Theory claims dreams are threat rehearsals. Interesting. I think dreams are the by-product produced as the brain sorts the days short term memories and files them away into long-term memory. No doubt that filing has an aspect of propping up the individual, i.e., making the individual the hero of dreams.

Watchdog claims US is "endemic surveillance society", which is a downgrade from our previous rating of "extensive surveillance society".

Scientific breakthrough may allow resuscitation of the dead for up to an hour or more after death.
