UK makes anti-terror pact with Pakistan. Why wouldn't this have been done after 9/11?

Touch computing to go mainstream. This is great for handhelds, but not for computers. Can you imagine if you had to reach up and touch your screen all the time to move your cursor. A mouse is inconvenient enough, but touching the screen is much more inconvenient, plus there's not fine control.

Good for the Illinois legislature for immediately starting to impeach Gov. Blagojevich. Democrats recognized if they have a special election, a Republican might win. Too bad Obama isn't as forthcoming. He's refusing to release the information regarding his team's contacts with Blagojevich until Christmas week when nobody is paying attention. The fox clears himself from raiding the hen house.

This Iraqi shoe thrower deserves to be arrested. Assault is not freedom of expression. His country could still be at the mercy of Saddam Hussein. Maybe this guy is a Baathist.

What a surprise. Obama chose the superintendent of Chicago schools to head the Dept. of Education despite that school district being the 20th worst in the nation. There's no cronyism going on here.

So far Obama's economic stimulus plan has reached $1 trillion over 2 years. Here's another $3 trillion bailout plan. Remember a month ago when "experts" said Obama wasn't going to be able to spend much because of the financial situation he inherited? Remember when "experts" said Obama picked a first rate economic team that would be fiscally responsible? I said that bull then, and I'm saying it's bull now. We're in for a disaster as big as our government. Charles Krauthammer explains that Obama's centrist picks are merely practical so he can do his business of transforming the country like FDR. Clearly there's nothing centrist about Obama's plans, and I don't think his picks are all that centrist. Hillary Clinton, for example, is a radical leftist much like Obama. She just thought pretending to be a centrist would win her the election. She was wrong.

Residents complain about air base at Myrimar. But they'd complain even more if the government planned to close it. If they didn't want to live by an air base, they shouldn't have purchased a home there. Idiots. These are people who won't take responsibility for their own decisions.

Even Gen. Petraeus is starting to sound optimistic about success in Iraq. Condoleezza Rice reports that US efforts in Iraq have pressured Iran to reduce efforts to destabilize the country.

Government computer errors have denied widows of war veterens millions of dollars and sometimes even led to the government seizing money from the widows' bank accounts. It took the government 12 years to notice the problem. I'm sure that since the government set up a phone number, everything will be fine now. This is the same government that people think should control our health care and check our IDs.

Americans who make their house payments or who didn't buy a house because they couldn't afford one are mad that their tax dollars are bailing out irresponsible borrowers. Mad is one thing, but are they ready to take back control of our government from the aristocrats?

Did we really need a study to inform us that teachers unions and the certification tests they control harm the education of students? I hope not.

California city council passes law to force hard working mayor to leave early. Only government. Other people are obviously afraid of looking bad compared to the hardworking mayor.

More lies from the global warming con men. Article claims the 10 warmest years on record occurred after Clinton's second election. But the fact is 1998 is tied 1934, when CO2 was much lower, as the hottest years in the very short record since 1880, and the planet has been cooling ever since 1998, even though CO2 continues to rise.

Texas spends $677 million each year on health care for illegal immigrants. That is crazy. Our government could stop this madness, but it doesn't. Our government, and us for electing the same 2 failed parties every election, is our worst enemy.
