Iranian gunboats threaten US ships. Why do we put up with this? It just invites them to become more aggressive. We should have sunk them. Then it would never happen again.

Israel to present intelligence on Iranian nuclear program to President Bush. That's mighty neighborly of them.

These Iraq suicide bombs are becoming a little more frequent. We must be giving al Qaeda too much breathing room.

US intelligence suggests that the suicide bomber who struck right after Bhutto's assassination was intended to destroy evidence of the murder. I thought the police did a good job of that by hosing down the crime scene. Musharraf on 60 Minutes.

Customs agents can search computer hard drives. Typically customs agents are looking for drugs and other smuggled items. Why should they look at data on a computer?

Fire chief takes photos of woman being treated after car crash, topless, and sends them to area fire departments. The woman subsequently died from her wounds.

British bishop warns that areas of Britain dominated by Muslims are now "no go" areas for non-Muslims. If we don't stop the insanity, this the future of the west thanks to multi-culturalism - the Balkanization of society. We're already seeing it in inner city neighborhoods in the US. The solution is equal standards for all and the assimilation of immigrant cultures into the larger, united culture of the country, not this multi-cultural wedge that liberals are trying to use to break America and other western countries apart.

In response, the EU is trying to engineer an "inter-cultural society". I have news for them. This kind of social engineering always backfires. This is going to backfire violently. The solution is to only bring in immigrants at a rate that can be assimilated, impose the same rule of law and equal standards on them as everybody else, and imprison or deport any immigrants who refuse to follow the laws or meet the standards. We need to force our government to do the same.

China kicks communists out of party for having too many kids. Maybe that's the way we can bring down the communists - encourage having children. In a generation, as their population ages dramatically, China is going to regret having so few kids.

Slain Army Major blogs his own death.

As predicted, Trent Lott immediately opened a lobbying firm, dodging the new ethics law that would have forced him to wait 2 years if he had resigned after the new year. Trent Lott was well respected by both parties. This is typical of the kind of people both parties run for office in Washington. They don't have Americans' interests at heart - just their own, power-hungry interests.

Reason explains that Iowa punished Romney and Clinton for their inauthenticity.

Ron Paul supporter in ad hates the ad. C'mon Ron. You have use all that money wisely, not produce crappy ads. I don't think it's that bad. Not good, but not that bad.

Huckabee steps into pulpit and delivers sermon, talking about being a soldier for Christ. That's not going to help him with mainstream Americans. Evangelicals alone won't win a primary.

Romney panders by claiming he'll boot many illegals in first 90 days.

Now that Obama's the it guy, is the mainstream media turning on him? This doesn't sound too good.

I don't think Hillary will drop out of the race any time soon. I've long said she's unelectable, that my dog could beat her in the national election, and my biggest fear was she would get embarrassed so badly that the Republicans would claim a mandate that would allow them to expand government at the expense of freedom even more effectively than the Bush administration. But I never expected liberals to be the ones to embarrass her. If she loses big in New Hampshire, like it appears she will, who knows what will happen? Bill's ego is so big, he hasn't realized his legacy is already trashed with everybody but liberals, so he may think himself immune from Hillary's self-destruction. Or maybe he understands that his only hope for a legacy lies with liberals, so he may push for her to drop out of the race and blame America for being unwilling to elect a woman (instead of blaming Hillary for being a horrible candidate). But I can't imagine Hillary's ego allowing her to give up so quickly.

Bill has already started. He says he can't make Hillary, younger, taller, or male...

Christopher Hitchens on our infatuation with Barack Obama's race. Maybe Hitchens has missed all the racial turmoil in American history, but the rest of us haven't. Electing a black president is our best chance of getting race-baiters like Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton out of our lives and putting this constant race issue behind us once and for all. It may be naive, race-baiters will never go away quietly, but I think white America would love that as much as black America would love having a black president. Obama gets some amount of boost for that.

Cato highlights the bias towards the global warming fraud in both scientific papers and media coverage.

Boortz highlights the politicization of the Endangered Species Act. Polars bears are growing in number, but because of the politics of the global warming fraud, government is considering putting them on the endangered species list.

Fire department refuses to fight fire because the house is 180 feet beyond their jurisdiction. I wonder if the owner purposely built the house outside the jurisdiction to avoid taxes. There's more to this story than reported.

Honest Canadian recognizes that the Kyoto treaty is just a big scam to transfer wealth from wealthy nations to poor nations. Same is true for the entire man-made global warming scam.

Man who injured himself escaping from jail sues for damages.
