Human nature?

OpinionJournal - PEGGY NOONAN: "Singh stared down the line of eight carriages. All the windows of the compartments were wide open but there was not a single human being standing at any of them. . . . [He] strode to the first carriage, snatched open the door and stepped inside. In one horrible instant he understood why no one was getting off the Ten Down Express in Amritsar that night. It was a trainful of corpses. The floor of the compartment before him was a tangled jumble of human bodies, throats cut, skulls smashed, bowels eviscerated. Arms, legs, trunks of bodies were strewn along the corridors of compartments."
I read this book 30 years ago. Chilling then, more so today.

Cheney and Celine!

The Borowitz Report .com: "Elsewhere, as Canada's annual seal hunt got underway over the weekend, Vice President Dick Cheney reportedly shot the singer Celine Dion in the face. "

Is this ever gonna end?

8th Annual Summit on Racism takes place in Grand Rapids Friday: "Summit organizers say the need for more diversity training in our schools is not being ignored. Every Kent County school district is doing some kind of diversity education. That was a goal that came out of previous Summits on Racism.

Yeah, yeah. Whitey needs more education and let's talk about reparations......

The last NASCAR driver killed was Dale Earnhardt in February 2001, the last driver to die in Formula One was Ayrton Senna in May 1994, and the last driver killed in the Champ Car World Series was Greg Moore in 1999. "
Dangerous sport.

Export Detroit to the rest of the state?

The High Price of Detroit's Welfare Mentality: "The same welfare state mentality was leading to an even bigger calamity in the public sector. Detroit, remember, was going to be the 'Model City' of Lyndon Johnson's Great Society, the shining example of what the 'fairness' of the welfare state can produce. Billions of dollars later, Detroit instead has become the model of everything that can go wrong when you hook people on the idea of something for nothing - a once-middle class city of nearly 2 million that is now a poverty-stricken city of less than 900,000

Check out the reverse graph. Up equals down in Detroit. Awful!

Thump City!

My Way - Sports News: "The smiles broke out on the Duke bench midway through the second half. And why not? This one was over by then.

Duke (29-3) advanced to a regional final for the sixth time and will play either third-seeded Georgia or second-seeded Connecticut on Tuesday night. "
End of a great run for the Spartettes! You go girls!

Reardon's Law

It seems like everytime I turn around folks are getting all worked up about things that are good for some, but not others.

Hank's got a pretty good point.

The future?

What will it take for the people to realize that the left wants to control everything in their lives?

Gas tax on miles, not gallons, tested:
Oregon is testing the idea of collecting highway funds through a tax on miles driven, rather than gasoline consumed.
Eighty percent of Oregon's highway money comes from its 24-cents-per-gallon gas tax. If the state promotes reducing gasoline consumption and consumers tend to buy the fuel-efficient vehicles, including hybrids, highway revenues would take a hit, The New York Times reported.
The test program uses a global positioning system to track miles driven, using a black box to calculate how many miles are clocked in-state, out of state and during rush hour.
The experiment is designed to increase state revenue for road maintenance without raising gasoline taxes, but critics say collecting GPS records poses new privacy issues.
'The existence of such a database, which would, for the first time in history, allow for the creation of detailed daily itineraries of every driver, raises obvious privacy concerns,' said David L. Sobel, general counsel at the Electronic Privacy Information Center, a civil liberties group in Washington."

Quickie divorce?

The Pioneer > Home: "A Muslim couple in Jalpaiguri district have been ordered by local religious leaders to separate as the husband allegedly uttered talaq three times in his sleep."

My Way News: "French students mobilizing ahead of a national strike on Tuesday vowed on Sunday to hold a series of protests in the weeks ahead until the government withdraws a law making it easier to hire and fire young people.
'Without a withdrawal of the law, there can be no question of possible negotiations,' said Xavier Pascal, a student leader among hundreds of delegates who met in Aix-en-Provence in southeastern France to coordinate their actions."

Patriots win!

Sports News: "George Mason is no longer the cute little underdog. The Patriots, by golly, are going to the Final Four.
The suburban commuter school from Fairfax, Va., beat top-seeded Connecticut 86-84 in overtime Sunday in the Washington Regional final, ending the stranglehold that big-time programs have enjoyed for 27 years in college basketball's biggest showcase. "
Democrats depressed...

Do they really want this?

Breaking News: "While only two Democrats in the Senate have embraced Sen. Russ Feingold's call for censuring President Bush, the idea is increasing his standing among many Democratic voters as he ponders a bid for the party's presidential nomination in 2008"
There is a difference between GOPer and Demos. Don't forget!

Pacifist Canucks?

My Way News - Pursuing Healthier Bacon Through Biotech: "A microscopic worm may be the key to heart-friendly Bacon."

The most brilliant writer of our time

Facing down a culture where they talk like crazies: "In a more culturally confident age, the British in India were faced with the practice of 'suttee' -- the tradition of burning widows on the funeral pyres of their husbands. General Sir Charles Napier was impeccably multicultural:
''You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: When men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows.You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours.'
India today is better off without suttee. If we shrink from the logic of that, then in Afghanistan and many places far closer to home the implications are, as the Prince of Wales would say, 'ghastly.' "

And no college degree for the uncredentialed Mr Steyn! How can that be?

IRL Sad.

IRL Driver Paul Dana Dies After Crash: " Driver Paul Dana died after a two-car crash Sunday during the warmup for the season-opening IRL IndyCar Series race at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
The other driver, Ed Carpenter, was awake and alert at a Miami hospital, IRL officials said.
Dana, 30, a former motorsports journalist with a degree from Northwestern, competed in three IRL races for Ethanol Hemelgarn Racing last year with a best finish of 10th in the race at Homestead."
Too young. Like all our soldiers, police and firemen.

Monsters!

Independent Online Edition > Middle East: "When policemen, soldiers and officials in Kirkuk who were injured in insurgent attacks arrived in the emergency room of the hospital, they hoped their chances of surviving had gone up as doctors tended their wounds.
In fact, many of the wounded were almost certain to die because one of the doctors at the Republic Hospital was a member of an insurgent cell. Pretending to treat the injured men, he killed 43 of them by secretly administering lethal injections, a police inquiry has revealed."
Make no mistake about our enemies. They are sociopaths who will never stop killing innocents around the world. Anyone who thinks that our leaving Iraq before they are able to stand on their own will guarantee our safety is delusional.

This is nuts!

Cops go to hotel bars to arrest drunk guests: "The controversial police tactic of arresting drunks at bars and restaurants has gone to a new level, to include intoxicated people at hotels, even those who are registered guests with no plans on driving. "
Atlanta Lou sent this. Is he worried? Heh..

Storm trooping into hotels won't fly with the public but I've always wondered why police don't stake out bars at closing time to nab drunk drivers.

Woman pleads guilty in Steele credit report case - baltimoresun.com: "A former Democratic staffer pleaded guilty today to computer fraud for snooping on Lt. Gov. Michael S. Steele.
Steele -- a Republican running for U.S. Senate -- was notified by Democrats in Washington that a staffer used Steele's Social Security number to obtain his credit report last year"
This report ignores an "unimportant" fact. Steele is black. Yes, I know it isn't really germane, but imagine if he was a black democrat....... imagine...... Where's Perkie Katie when a black GOPer needs her?
