I've read a lot today (mostly about global warming for a book I'm editing at Regnery), but here is a rundown of a few of the stories that caught my eye this morning, in no particular order:
- Hitler and Stalin were possessed. Are you surprised? Of course they were! No human in their right mind could commit such horrid crimes against humanity. I'm a bit disappointed that this priest's favorite movie is The Exorcist, however, and I'm not quite sure I believe the Italian newspapers that are claiming such a silly thing.
- Bush will headline a Talent fundraiser in Kansas City next week. Missouri Democratic Party spokesman Jack Cardetti had this to say: "Jim Talent is truly one of the President’s men when it comes to giving
billions to the oil and pharmaceutical companies, while opposing stem
cell research and now the rewards keep coming and coming,'’ Cardetti
said in a statement. “Jim Talent’s blind loyalty to the Bush
Administration has been quite fruitful for his re-election bank
account, even if it spells disaster for Missouri families." I laughed out loud. The lies are quite hilarious.
- Good move, Israel. I hope you realize just how long you might have to wait for the UN to get something done though...
- Once in awhile, I have to remind y'all that I am semi-environmentally-friendly. The old Townhall gang used to tease me that I was a closet liberal, but I promise I'm not! My respect for the environment comes more from my faith than anything else, and my love of limited government often takes priority over my green-ness. I also believe that being an "environmentalist" (ugggh I hate that word - almost as much as I hate "feminist") can be--gasp--fiscally conservative. We can debate that another day. Anyway, the point is that this is worth a read. Until I need 7 seatbelts for the kids and soccer practice, you can bet I'll buy a little car.
Ok so maybe that was way too much for a single post, and it was definitely all over the place, but it should keep you all busy while I get back to work.
Later today I'll be posting an important event in the efforts to stop Missouri's stem cell initiative, so stay tuned.
