Cool! They're starting to decipher Inca knotwork!
Frivolous lawsuit number 123,456,789. I don't use Ameritrade, but universals of the business: It is never guaranteed to execute immediately, and the larger the order, the less likely it becomes, and the more likely it is that your order will have an effect upon the price before it is executed in full. Just because you tell your computer to do it now, doesn't mean it gets done now. If you're worried about a delay of a few hours affecting profitability, you shouldn't buy or sell. If you're worried about the price, put a limit order in. Of course, that costs more.
Strenthen Your Allies Project
Louisiana Libertarian has some good thoughts. It'd be nice if NASA would just get out of the way, but that jeopardizes bureaucratic jobs and power structures.
Art of The Blog makes a good point on money for stem cell research.
I'm The Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog Which Monty Python and the Holy Grail character are you? HT to Unrepentant Individual
Okay, they've got a point. The drilling proposal doesn't belong in the budget bill. On the other hand, it's necessary, it's wise, and it won't hurt the environment. It's got to be done sometime, and although I'd prefer holding a drilling debate based upon its own merits and with a vote where we know who voted for it and who voted against it, at least this way they'll have to move it along. My guess is that the reason is that your vote on the budget bill is indicative of the pork your district is going to get next year, so it's harder to vote against. (HT to Hugh Hewitt).
Iraq and the War on Terror:
Politechnical has a good post about throwing the terrorists out.
I'm thinking this is not a good sign: the Palestinians are competing to get credit for the Isaeli pullout from Gaza. The factis the Israelis are leaving because they want to, due to a combination of not wanting the hassle of Gaza and selling the Palestinian authority rope with which to hang itself. The idea of the Palestinians throwing the Israeli's out is on a par with "Neddie, how dare you attack Moriarty's boot with the full force of your teeth!"
Michelle Malkin has a great followup on the 9/11 Report, and Captain's Quarters has more. As CQ notes, it has become past time for Congress to hold hearings. The commissioners have buried evidence and one of them was likely responsible for the failure to deal with the problems before they hijacked four airliners.
Mudville Gazette has a wonderful series of stories on the "Wounds of War". This is part III. It will link you to the first two parts, as well. Let us hope that we don't have a case of "and the thirty million English sent twenty pounds and four" here. Yeah, there's partisan sniping in the article. But let's not lose the main message. These heroes served us when we needed it. When others ducked, they stepped forward. It is incumbent upon all of us to treat them correctly should they need it.
Bwahahaha! Woman loses 37 pounds eating only at McDonald's. In 90 days.
Air America
Recovering Democrat has some worthwhile thoughts on Air America.
Michelle Malkin has all kinds of interesting news. Cohen moved to Hawaii, looking for jobs with nonprofits there. Maybe the ACLU will hire him. We can only hope.
More games with affirmative action, in this case trying to keep a "no preferences" measure off the ballot.

- Day by Day It is site policy to list the main page of every site I reference. Sometimes the real world intervenes and I haven't gotten to it yet, or one falls through the cracks on a long post with multiple references. It is also site policy to list the main page of every site that lists this one on their equivalent roll, as well as the main page of all sites that are members of any of the same groups this site is a member of. Please send me an email with a link to the main page of your site if I've overlooked you (dm at the domain name). For the clue-challenged, note that it is a requirement for your link to appear on every page of your site, just like mine does, and I will not link to spam sites.
Logical failures (straw man, ad hominem, red herring, etcetera) will be pointed out - and I hope you'll point out any such errors I make as well. If there's something you don't understand, ask.
Nonetheless, the idea of comments should be constructive. Aim them at the issue, not the individual. Consider it a challenge to make your criticism constructive. Try to be respectful. Those who make a habit of trollish behavior will be banned.
