No politics, just my heart goes out to these people: Milk man kills girls at Pa. Amish school.

neo-neocon sums up my thoughts on Bob Woodward and State of Denial.



Wizbang on asking for Rumsfeld's resignation.



Q and O has more on the press reporting headlines which are not borne out by the story within them. For some reason I can't comprehend but couldn't possibly be Democratic bias, all of these headlines seem to be unfavorable to Republicans.

Iraq the Model reports on the results of a poll in Iraq.



Only 97 reasons?



Something is rotten in the state of Iran, and the Iranians know it, even if it hasn't been reported in the west. Confederate Yankee has details.

Michelle Malkin has it right on the Foley mess, which I'm trying to gove no more importance than it is due, which isn't much. Nail him to the wall if he did anything illegal, which it appears he did. But as compared to anything else making the rounds, it just is not important.

Stuff nobody can make up because it's too weird: Forget airbags, silicone breasts will do. Sorry about the Yahoo link.

"The two cars were crumpled past recognition in the crash but the woman's silicone breasts acted as airbags and saved her life," Standart wrote, citing eyewitness reports.



But survival as well as beauty comes at a price as the woman burst her silicon implants in the crash.

If my wife ever wants them, I'm still going to try to talk her out of it. Our vehicles all have airbags.



No, I don't know any prominent politicians or news commentators. Why do you ask?

Kim Jong-Il sings "I'm so Ronery" yet again. North Korea says it will stage nuke test



(No, I do not recommend "Team America", but having gotten through it I'll get what mileage I can out of it.)



Maybe we ought to just give Japan enough old nukes to plaster North Korea. Missiles also. South Korea can have an identical set also if they ask nicely.

It took a comedy to revive Gandhi's ideals in India



I could suggest any number of Americans who could benefit from such treatment. Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Jackson, Lincoln, and in the twentieth century, Theodore Roosevelt and a largely forgotten man named George Catlett Marshall.

Just because we've got first amendment rights doesn't mean we can't be sued for libel: Courts are asked to crack down on bloggers, websites. And that's the way it should be. You should be able to write the truth - especially if you can prove it - but don't make up stuff as some of these examples did.

Food may be like a drug for some, study shows



This explains a lot.

Q and O has another reason why, as disgusted as I am with the Elephants, I won't be voting Donkey any time soon.

Victor Davis Hanson in NRO on turning our backs upon the Enlightenment.



On the same topic, if you are not sickened by the indoctrination put on by public employees in this Michelle Malkin article, something is wrong. It happens I don't agree with most of the sentiments, but even if I agreed with them, indoctrinating children that young is not what the public school system is paid to do. Matter of fact, they are theoretically paid not to indoctrinate. If I lived in Los Angeles, I'd be phoning my school board member right now.
