Free kibbles

Argentina and Brazil are building a nuclear power plant. Now we're being out-innovated by South America because our government runs our lives.

Fearing more violence, US evacuating Serbian embassy. Looters in Belgrade end up on YouTube.

Iraq warns Turkey over incursion into Kurdish territory.

Iran's proxy militia Hezbollah says that Israel's disappearance in the next couple of years is an inevitable fact. The only way that could happen is if Iran, or Hezbollah supplied by Iran, nukes Israel. Iran fails to provide answers to IAEA regarding western intelligence evidence that Iran is making nuclear weapons. Hopefully we can get some harsh sanctions this time.

NASA fostering competition for space cargo delivery. This should have been NASA's charter all along. Google sponsoring prize for landing rover on the moon. Heck yeah. Empower the free market.

Saudis arrest men for flirting. Yeah. Let's visit Saudi Arabia so we can get arrested for flirting.

Shooting down a ballistic missile, or several, is much harder than shooting down a satellite.

Reason explains that the press still gets it wrong on Castro and tyrants in general.

McCain aid says they are going to war with the NYTimes. It's all about war with McCain. He's scary. McCain defends ties to lobbyists. This is going to hurt him. McCain's public persona is anti-lobbyist, but like any long-time Washington insider, he's in bed with plenty of them.

Huckabee is pushing for a brokered convention, hoping for win in Texas and Ohio. Sounds like Hillary's plan. Right now, RCP has McCain up by 12% in Texas. I'd like to see Ron Paul do better in his home state.

Hillary Clinton is counting on Gov. Strickland to deliver Ohio. I hadn't been aware that he was principle in her first socialist HillaryCare proposal, which she's replaced with a fascist program - government dictates the plans to the health insurance companies, but the health insurance companies implement them. Considering Strickland is to going to put us $1.7 billion in debt to pay for several socialist programs of his own, these are 2 peas in a pod.

Analyst points out that Hillary steals other people's lines when she's trying to express emotion.

Superdelegates following voters to Obama.

Christopher Hitchens explains that Kosovo was never legally part of Serbia, only Yugoslavia, so its declaration of independence is just a reaffirmation of its legal status since Yugoslavia broke up. This is a new, interesting twist that provides legal cover the independence claim, different from other, potential independence claims. Then again, sorting out the legalities of what happened in the Balkans since the end of the Ottoman Empire and WWI will be impossible to reconcile with the will of all the different groups of people.

GM vice-chairman calls global warming the most dangerous fraud perpetrated on the people of the world since communism, but those are my words. He uses a shorter, blunter description, - "Crock of s***".

Man robbed of $100,000 in midtown Manhattan. Tax collectors do that every year, and its not news.

Michelle Obama's senior thesis from Princeton has been withdrawn until the election is over. Why? It focuses on identity politics, claiming that despite her liberalness, she will always be relegated to the periphery of society because she black. It sounds like a celebration of black victimhood. Educated whining is still whining, and her husband's candidacy shows just how wrong she was. What kind of weirdo writes a whiny thesis that focuses on herself? This thesis should be on display for all to see.

Springsteen, Vetter, and Neil Young join forces for soundtrack to convince Americans to repeat the mistake of Vietnam, snatch defeat from the jaws of victory in Iraq, and allow Iraq to spiral into chaos and ethic cleansing, then blaming Bush for starting the war instead of blaming themselves for losing it instead of winning it.

Vista SP1 is less compatible than the original.

Now liberals are pushing for mandatory community service. And she invokes Reagan to make her point! I like how she says "must do a volunteer stint." She obviously has no idea that's an oxymoron. "Enforced community service". Yeah, that would be real healing. It just shows that modern liberalism is the antithesis of freedom. Others must be forced to do the right thing, the right thing being defined by liberals of course. Liberalism all about "must" and "force" - government force. I'd like to see her reaction if a conservative said everybody "must" do service in a faith-based charity. She would see that as the epitome of evil, fascist conservatives, though it's the exact same thing she's proposing, just a different faith - the faith of government.

Author expresses the dangers of under-reacting to radical Islam.

Where does a judge get off keeping a woman from fixing her car after she wrecked it driving drunk. This is judicial tyranny.

Netherlands Bank stops giving piggy banks as gifts for opening accounts because Muslims and Jews consider pigs to be unclean. British man fired from Muslim school that celebrates 9/11 because he complained that textbooks refer to Christians as pigs. I bet that school is partially funded by taxpayers and partially funded by Saudi Arabia. Do you notice tolerance going both ways?

Western Antarctic glaciers sliding into the sea may raise sea levels over the next century if nothing else changes, but won't because ice is growing on the rest of Antarctica.

Half petaflop computer at UT Austin.

Flashlight that makes people sick.

100 mile per gallon car coming to US. Not invented by government.
