Most Significant Story of the Day

UK Telegraph: Live Earth is a win for global yawning

Why Significant? Because it shows the underwhelming public support that environmentalism really generates.

On the other hand, it would be nice if pro-human pro-technology people could fill up a living room with supporters.

The Real Choice in the War on Islamofascism

The choice in the War on Islamofacism is not limited to either "staying the course" in Iraq, or to retreating by bringing our troops home so we can huddle down and wait for the Islamofacists to attack us again in our own cities. The real choice is to actually go on the offensive, which means we need to attack Saudi Arabia and Iran - the sources of radical Islam - not waste the valor of our troops in trying to establish a democracy in Iraq where the Iraqi people have elected themselves an ineffective and partly radical Islamicist government. The choices offered by the Bush Administration and its Democratic opponents are both impractical, immoral, and therefore, unacceptable.
