The Los Angeles Times is reporting:
President Bush received a roaring ovation Tuesday for his prime-time defense of wiretapping phone calls without warrants. But Bush's explanation relied on assumptions that have been widely questioned by experts who say the president offers a debatable interpretation of history.
AP is reporting:
The U.S. Army in Iraq has at least twice seized and jailed the wives of suspected insurgents in hopes of "leveraging" their husbands into surrender, U.S. military documents show.
In one case, a secretive task force locked up the young mother of a nursing baby, a U.S. intelligence officer reported.

So, how many innocent people's lives were endangered in this inter-agency chase and shoot-out in the streets of Jackson? Good to know they recovered a small amount of marijuiana to justify this madness.
The picture of how this city (and state?) treats sex with minors is very disturbing to me.

While The Home Depot in South Jackson is relocating to Clinton, a new Food Depot debuts on W. Northside Drive this week. Being the nosy person that I am, I just had to take a peek.
For the love of all that is good and holy, please read the title to this article in a Russian paper. (Link found on Wonkette).
Condoleezza Rice's anti-Russian stance based on sexual problems

The US Secretary of State released a coarse anti-Russian statement. This is because she is a single woman who has no children
I found this AP article and just wanted to share.
I found this article online this morning. I picked the CBC article instead of the Reuters version of it for a particular reason.
