The Lebanese parliament elected the head of the army as president. This is the same head of the army who refused to fight Hezbollah, except in a couple of rare instances, when Hezbollah was terrifying the country. Terrorists are celebrating today. I don't think neutrality, defined by sitting on the sidelines while a terrorist militia runs rampant across the country, is a prized quality.

Mugabe threatens to expel US ambassador. The US ambassador should not be intimidated by this, and he should continue speaking loudly about the abuses, including trying to steal this last election, of Mugabe.

FARC confirms its leader has died. Hopefully FARC will die with him.

I like the idea of giant, floating wind farms, if they're cost effective, but the latte liberals of Martha's Vineyard would never allow them off their coast. Poor people have to look at them, not the elites.

Kennedy's outraged at Hillary Clinton's comment about Robert Kennedy assassination. I should hope so. But the Kennedy's have known what kind of people Clintons are for 16 years at least. Birds of a feather. Hillary's immorality is just phenomenal. Now she's blaming others for taking the out of context. She should be in a psych ward, not government.

Conservatives jump on McCain for his flip-flop on securing the borders before comprehensive immigration reform.

Florida Gov. Crist likely VP candidate for McCain.

Libertarian party debate.

Aftershock in China collapses 70,000 houses. 69 dams in danger.

Solar cycle 24 is still a virtual no-show.

Mark Steyn thinks its ironic that Congress is suing OPEC for limiting oil production while Congress is limiting oil production. I think it's sick. We need to put our government out of our misery.

I'm not the only one who thinks McCain will win big over Obama. It's a stunning repudiation of the Democrat party that their candidate is so terrible he's likely to win against the worst Republican to run in my lifetime. If it wasn't for how badly the Republicans have governed since Bush took office, Obama would be lucky to win a state.

I'm not surprised that Iran paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to terrorists to kill UK soldiers. I'm sure they've paid to kill American soldiers. It's a disgrace that we haven't punished them by striking Revolutionary Guards and Quds Force bases since we invaded Iraq. We should have never allowed interference from Iraq's neighbors. How'd that same strategy work for us in Vietnam?

Fred Barnes suggests 5 legislative priorities that will help Republicans because they help the nation. These are good ideas. How come Republicans didn't do this since they took power in 1994? They're not going to fool anybody into thinking they suddenly became responsible representatives.

How Sec. Rice has undermined the Bush doctrine and put us in weak bargaining positions because of it.
