Free kibbles

Oil prices spark "serious concern". Yeah, right. I'll believe Congress is seriously concerned when they get rid of the ban on drilling in ANWR and off the coasts. I think Democrats are enjoying these high prices all the way to the polls, so nothing will be done until November at the earliest.

Article claims US is holding $20 billion of Iraq's money and freedom from Saddam era sanctions hostage to pressure Iraq into a security deal that would leave US troops in Iraq for a long time. This sounds like something the Bush administration would do, and it's crap. Let's win this war and bring our troops home.

Mugabe's government taxes foreign newspapers and arrests another opposition leader.

Cuba approves taxpayer funded sex change operations. That's the model Democrats want us to follow.

Democrat senator introduces bill to amend Constitution to abolish electoral college. Yikes. Haven't we trivialized politics enough? Haven't we empowered incumbents enough? I wouldn't be at all surprised if this passes Congress, but they'll have to bribe states to get 3/4 to pass it since it will give all the power to California, New York, and Texas.

I'd like to see McCain (and Obama) on Mars. Anywhere but running for president.

Windows SP3 makes routers crash.

This doesn't sound like a study. It sounds like a pseudo-scientific construct to attack conservatives. The ingrained bias that pre-determined the results are apparent in this quote:
"This intolerance of ambiguity can lead people to cling to the familiar, to arrive at premature conclusions, and to impose simplistic cliches and stereotypes,"
It sounds a lot like Obama's San Francisco "cling" comment. I guess that clingy stuff is a article of faith in explaining conservatives to other liberals.

Best Buy assures couple in Cincinnati they will destroy their hard drive with all their personal information, but the drive ends up in at a flea market in Chicago. That's because Best Buy lied. They make money off of reselling the drives. Of course Best Buy shouldn't lie, and of course Best Buy should never had done that given their statement, but the people were idiots. Why was the personal information on the drive anyway? Why didn't they erase (really erase) the information themselves? Best Buy should be liable for damages if anything happens.
