New York trash
Americans contemplating a Michael Bloomberg run for the presidency need to pay attention to the city he now runs. A sort of free port for illegal aliens, it is also home to the most creative municipal revenue gathering concepts on the planet. As reported in the NY Sun [my emphasis]:
A City ...Read More...

A summer night in Birmingham
Brian Whittaker, Birmingham, UK. Jun. 27, 2007
Says photog Brian Whittaker:
Another exciting display of Noctilucent Clouds after a week of heavy rain and cloud (with flooding) that prevented viewing. I also finally proved to myself that NLC were visible all night long from 52'North around the summer ...Read More...

Antwerp Sharia court orders Belgians to burn their beer
Actually, Belgians have been doing it of their own volition for quite some time.
(This item not meant as segue from story below. Re that flaming jeep and a few of the bystander comments I just heard on the radio: how quickly folks parrot the PC "Asian" line describing the ...Read More...

Adante mobile
Or cell, or "it." No doubt, MJ, the thing is useful. Skenazy is, in fact, a user who would agree with you. As would folks confined to wheelchairs and others in similar straits. Nevertheless, it is not a phone—at least not any longer merely a phone. It is ...Read More...

Failure to detonate: Was it a dropped call?
I don't know that we'll ever know the answer to that question, but in the meantime consider the deepening dependency the cell phone creates in its users, law-abiding or otherwise, as Lenore Skenazy does here:

Fred's good day�and ours

House of race cards

If this isn't condescending
Re the vote to keep the amnesty bill going in the senate (Buenos illegos, amigos!), Pres. Bush, as I heard him sound-bit on the radio: "The first thing you have to realize is immigration policy isn't working."

Credit where credit is due
