2 synchronized suicide bombers kill 35 in Iraq.

Video of 16 year old Canadian being interrogated at Guantanamo after throwing a grenade at US troops in Afghanistan. It's ridiculous this terrorist has a lawyer who released this video.

Congress plans to force federally funded schools (that's pretty much all of them) to accept as many women as men into science and engineering disciplines. Liberals don't care about freedom and personal accomplishments. They only care about government force. I wonder why they don't force schools to accept as many men into home economics as women. Or into language studies. Or baby raising. Could it be because men and women are different? Could it be because the brains of men and women are different? Congress doesn't give a damn about reality. Just liberalism.

One sign of our tremendous success in Iraq is that both candidates are suddenly focused on Afghanistan. That's a credit to our forces in Iraq, Gen. Petraeus and his staff. It's also an inherent exposure of Obama's judgment in proclaiming the Iraq war lost, unimportant, and unwinnable. It's a further exposure of the failure of President Bush.

Obama to lay out Iraq policy ahead of trip to Iraq. That doesn't make much sense. Shouldn't he visit Iraq, talk to the commanders, and see what's going on first hand before he determines his policy? Before even talking to commanders in Iraq, before even seeing the situation with his own eyes, Obama proclaims his vision to lose the war in Iraq as soon as he is sworn in. Seriously. Why is he bothering to visit Iraq since he's already developed his policy? Apparently Obama is omniscient. That's why he predicted the surge would be so successful. And that's why he predicted Rev. Wright would be so good for his campaign. Obama is a fruit loop. Only a fruit loop like Obama could make McCain look like a good candidate.

Favre tempted to show up to Packer's training camp to call their bluff. What is Favre's motivation here? Is his motivation to make the Packers or any other team better? Of course not. Favre's motivation is purely and horrible selfish, and we should reject his attempts to force his way back into the league. Like everybody else, Farve should be accountable for his own decisions.

Cato welcomes treasury's plan to subsidize Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac if only to formalize the previously informal nature of their socialized existance. Once that nature is public, government can cut them off and turn them into real companies unpropped up by government which will float or sink on their own. Fed calls for true privitization of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

Cato explains that the Supreme Court's decision affirming the people's right to keep and bear arms (why was that so much harder than affirming the people's right to free speech?) will make the issue of judges a much bigger issue in this campaign. I'll say.
