Headlines for your day
I've got a bunch of links. Mostly news. Some not so much.
General:
General:
- Terrorists can go to their local NYC library for their favorite reading material. All in the name of diversity, eh?
- It's kind of sad that Israel had to actually announce dress code rules. I guess it's another instance of increasingly uncommon courtesy.
- CAIR doesn't understand that Hollywood uses the real bad guys of the time for their bad guys. In the 80s, it was the Soviet Union. In the 40s, it was the Germans. Got the idea? Muslims are the bad guys, and so Hollywood isn't going to go against type.
- Can someone explain to me how not eating the bacon double cheeseburger is going to change anyone's opinion of the war?
- Someone screwed up and alQ has gone silent. (The White House says it wasn't them, btw.)
- This guy is more than a little bonkers.
- Remember when the Democrats were all up in arms about wire tapping in this country? Well... they don't seem to mind it anymore.
- I guess some people have a different definition of "emergency" than us normal folk.
- um... try hiring legals?
- Someone doesn't understand the difference between racism, xenophobia, and an appreciation for the rule of law.
- State and local authorities are finally tired of waiting for the feds.
- Right now, The Goracle is the favorite to win the most useless award on the planet.
- Sad but not surprising.
- This is just crazy. If I'm in a foreign country and get so much as a parking ticket, I'm asking for consular support. That's just common sense.
- This is what we're headed for if we're not careful.
- This teacher wants to carry a gun at school. Believe it or not, I think I'm ok with that.
- Can I hit this guy in the head with a crowbar because he's a moron? Please?
- Dan Bartlett isn't fond of the GOP front-runners.
- $5k per kid plus $1k per citizen for a 401k... where is she getting her money from?
- I'd love to hear more from John Cox. What are the odds of that?
- Tancredo's thinking about dropping out. I think it's a shame this early in the race for anyone to think about dropping out.
- Dang, I hate it when Skippy accidentally makes sense.
- Reason #87965161698 why no Democrat candidate is a viable candidate to me.
- I mind.
- Wow. That's awfully... anti-semitic of you, Ashkan.
- The Cowboys tried to give me a heart attack last night. I'm still tied for 8th, though.
- Tony needs to make up his mind. If he really wants to change jobs, he could always swap with Joe Torre. He's looking for something new... not that he had a choice or anything.
- Once his stint on Dancing With The Stars is over, Mark Cuban is looking into becoming a bleacher bum.
- Kansas State has reported possible violations to the NCAA. Do they get time off for 'fessin up?

- Injury report NCAA division: Limas Sweed is out for the year, and UT will also lose Tiemann and Aaron Lewis; Nevada's Nick Graziano is out for the season following surgery to repair a torn tendon on his right foot; UCLA's QB is out, and his backup is also injured;
- USC's Booty broke his middle finger.
- The Nobel Prize for physics went to two scientists who pioneered hard drive technology.
- It looks like big cool weapons came before the math to explain them.
- Family disharmony can lead to heart problems. Doesn't all stress do that?
- Go figure. Biofuels are speeding global warming. That's just... funny.
- Two words for this guy: Odor Eaters.
- I didn't know that ostrich murder was a felony.
- It's not every day you hear about a deer killing a man. It's usually the other way around.
