Accused 9/11 mastermind asks judge to be executed. I'm all for it. No sense in our being all hardheaded and trying to play his little mind games. He deserves death, let's kill him. And why tf is he not shaven and in an orange jumper?

Police plan checkpoints in D.C. neighborhood You know, there is an easier way to reduce crime: let people bear arms to defend themselves. Sure, the lefties will continue to whine, but when do they not?

Olmert Hints U.S. Action on Iran Nukes is Near

(IsraelNN.com) Prime Minister Ehud Olmert hinted after his meeting with U.S. President George W. Bush Wednesday that U.S. action against Iran is imminent. While he avoided saying anything clear and specific on the matter, Olmert did mention a "timetable" and said action would take place before Bush leaves the White House.

Speaking of the lawn gnome, he's been a busy boy this week. In a speech in Iranian tv, he said, "...thanks to God, the countdown for the decline of America's demonic power has begun." And during the UN food summit, he told attendees that food and fuel prices are kept artificially high by greedy powers with "devilish motivations" who should be replaced with "righteous and justice-seeking managers."

Obama clarifies united Jerusalem comment. When he said 'divided', he meant with barb wire, not that it should actually belong to Israel, which had it for a capital three thousand years ago. No, a united Israel would be too divisive!
