Al Qaeda claims "credit" for Bhutto assassination.
The good housing news: homes more affordable. Is there a single person in America who didn't know that the housing bubble would burst? Related: The banking business model that came and went.

Moustache of the Day. h/t, Norm
Most over-rated and under-rated book of the year. Derbyshire
Second link in one day about Al Sharpton. TNR. With all of the serious black commentators and thinkers out there, why does the MSM pick this vaudevillian self-satirical con man to be a black spokesman? Is he supposed to be their tap-dancing entertainer?
NYT wants a new socialist welfare state in New Orleans. I guess they miss Huey Long.

When in the course of human history has mankind been so healthy, secure and prosperous that national political leaders, scientists and the media elite worldwide could be preoccupied with a theoretical crisis predicted to occur 50 years hence? Controversy continues to rage over Anthropogenic Global Warming Theory, most recently with a minority Senate report citing 400 eminent scientists, yet it's worth reflecting on what this debate means about the human condition at the advent of the 21st Century
The corollary to this preoccupation with hypothetical dangers 5 decades hence, of course, is that there is not one imminent threat to western nations that demands our immediate attention. Not one human soul is, or ever has been, in immediate danger from Global Warming.

Israeli Arabs prefer Israel to Palestinian State. Duh. Who wouldn't?
Bush understands Brave New World. Good on him.
Gov. Spitzer has a solution to the NY malpractice escalation. As usual, he's come up with a humdinger. It reminds me of the California plan to tax hospitals to pay for medical care.
