French President Sarkozy takes a hard line with Bush against a nuclear armed Iran.

Italy sends troops into the streets to quell crime. This is another step in Europe's disintegration caused by demographic upheaval. The long-term solution is to curb immigration to assimilatible levels and have babies.

Recognizing that Americans are cutting back on oil, Saudis raise production to record levels to help keep prices down.

British conservatives push for referendum on new EU treaty after Ireland rejects. What a crazy idea. Letting the people vote for the their government. Very unusual in Europe.

Foxnews hires Huckabee as a political commentator. That gives him a platform to start his 2012 campaign.

McCain blasts Court decision extending habeas corpus to Guantanamo detainees, granting prisoners of war that right for the first time in history. This will be a good issue for McCain in the election.

Obama considers world tour to capitalize on his international popularity. This will backfire. He's running for the president of the US, and US voters don't want our presidents sucking up to the rest of the world.

Because our government has injected itself into every business decision in the country, and because Microsoft knows how to take advantage of that, the Google, Yahoo deal is likely to face regulatory hurdles. This is what happens when you let government have power it was never intended to have.

Proof-positive that our representatives are not dumb, just self-serving. Because the government-run Senate commissary provides such terrible food and service at such an expensive price that it loses money every year, even Democrats want to privatize it. When our representatives are the recipients of government services, they understand that government sucks and that the private sector can do anything more effectively for less money. But Diane Feinstein doesn't want better services for less money and the thriving economy that goes along with it for Americans, just for senators - like her.

The list of Barack Obama's friends suggest he's involved in traditional favor factory politics that we condemn wherever we find it, except with Obama.

Democrats are trying to kill Washington D.C.'s school voucher program that saves 2,000 kids from D.C.'s failed government school system each year. Of course. Democrats want everybody to be uneducated because that's what the teachers unions want. That's why they attack any non-government school (except the private schools they send their own kids to).

Study claims street signs are more dangerous than not having them because of distractions.

2 new Democrat congressmen recognize the Democrat's budget is an increased burden on the middle class. Republicans getting defeated by Democrats like these could work out for the country. The problem is, this kind of altruism is crushed in favor of self-serving partisan politics in the corruption factory of Washington. It's practically a certainty these guys will either be corrupted or washed out.

The Democrats' minimum wage, besides being a tool to exclude poor minorities from entry level jobs, is also a hand-out to unions which make significantly more than market rate because of indexing, costing taxpayers huge amounts of money because of legal requirements to pay the higher wage in Davis-Bacon.

Obama wants to raise payroll taxes for those earning over $250,000. What benefit would those people receive for their tax increase? The very foundation of taxation is that those taxed are supposed to be taxed for services they receive. Walter Williams has a related column comparing our tax system to slavery since we work for over 3 months for the government with no recourse to that money.

Charles Krauthammer lists the accomplishments of the Iraqis and their government denied by Obama and Democrats who fail to acknowledge we are winning the war in Iraq. Maliki sends Iraqi forces into Amara to take on more Shiite militiamen.

Ann Coulter calls Bush a great president because we haven't been attacked in 7 years, Iraq is being transformed into a functioning democracy, and al Qaeda is being eradicated around the globe. That's a great accomplishment, but fighting terrorism isn't even our biggest issue. China and Russia are our biggest foreign policy problems, and Bush has empowered both while weakening us. Domestic issues are our biggest problems: the crushing size of government number 1, our punishing tax code another, the disastrous state of our schools another, and illegal immigration another. Our existential threats are domestic, not external, and Bush has made them dramatically worse.

Thomas Sowell provides the details behind the story about the rising suicide rate among recent veterans. That suicide rate is still lower than the rate for similar ages in the general population.

John Stossel highlights the entitlement crisis and welcomes a plan, an insufficient plan but a plan nevertheless, by one congressman, who is being ignored.

Here's a blast from the past. A 1993 NYTimes article describing how earth's natural climate processes can cause rapid changes in global temperatures, up to 18 degrees Fahrenheit in a couple of decades, during interglacial periods which we're in now. The interesting fact is how stable our climate is this period compared to past interglacial periods. Of course, we all know that that honest reporting of climate has been drowned by subsequent climate alarmism.

Democrat congressman introduces legislation to create 1,000 new visas just for models. That's typical Democrat support for the common man, not pandering to elites.

Nice chart shows analysis of policies of Republicans versus Democrats on gas prices. There aren't too many differences between the 2 parties, but their positions on oil is a big one.

We can expect crime to go up in Seattle, specifically on city property, because Seattle is banning all guns on city property.

Using GPS tracking devices to fight truancy. Kids don't need to be well educated to beat this system.

Kosovo becomes self-ruling.

Drilling in ANWR and the coasts, creating new refineries, and extracting oil shale is winning campaign issue, but McCain doesn't support it. Bob Barr should make hay with this issue.
