The Kremlin is cozying up to China to spite the United States. At first
glance, this policy seems strange. However much the Kremlin dislikes
the United States, Washington is not after Russian land or witnessing
enormous emigration, and is certainly not interested in Russia falling
apart and the appearance of, for example, a Chinese-Finnish border and
a Caucasian caliphate.

"America faces an existential crisis. If we do not get control of our
borders, by 2050 Americans of European descent will be a minority in
the nation their ancestors created and built. No nation has ever
undergone so radical a demographic transformation and survived." [NB:
op-ed naively dismisses Buchanan's concerns]

Bush Quote: "'I'm proud to say that my family has contributed to your
ranks. A few years ago, Governor Jeb -- (applause) -- became a Knight
[of Columbus]. (Applause.) And he -- yes -- and he recently took his
Third Degree. (Applause.) I'll see him this weekend. His son is getting
married. I'll pass on the word, aim for the Fourth."

A year after Hurricane Katrina, the reconstruction of the devastated
Gulf coast is being severely hampered by waste and inefficiency
overseen by "disaster profiteers" who are making million of dollars,
according to a watchdog group. The group claims the inefficiency -
along with the companies' political connections - follows a pattern
similar to what happened in Afghanistan and Iraq.

"This Person (Bush) speaks as if he were the master and owner of
Lebanon, Palestine, Iraq, Syria, Iran and other Muslim states, but if
the huge power of nations comes to the scene -- as it happened in
Lebanon, it will smash the arrogant powers so badly that the enemies of
Islam will no longer be able to continue with their rude and arrogant
behavior," Ayatollah Khamenei said, while addressing a public meeting
here on Tuesday also attended by the heads of the three branches of the
government...

Thomas Sowell: It is hard to think of a time when a nation -- and a
whole civilization -- has drifted more futilely toward a bigger
catastrophe than that looming over the United States and western
civilization today. ... Do we understand that the world will never be
the same after hate-filled fanatics gain the ability to wipe whole
American cities off the face of the earth? Do we still imagine that
they can be bought off, as Israel was urged to buy them off with "land
for peace" -- a peace that has proved to be wholly illusory?...We are
fast approaching the point of no return.

Baron: These covert enemies are those among our elites who have promoted
the ideas labeled as multiculturalism, moral relativism and (the term is
Professor Samuel Huntington's) transnationalism. At the center of their
thinking is a notion of moral relativism. No idea is morally superior
to another. Hitler had his way, we have ours -- who's to say who is
right?

Bush, Cheney in funk after Israel war performance
President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney have been extremely
disappointed by Israel's failure to defeat Hezbollah. Government

National Security Council and Pentagon regarding U.S. goals in the
Middle East, particularly the effort to stop Iran's advance in Iraq and
toward nuclear weapons. (subscribers)

working on behalf of the US forces operating in Iraq. "You are here in

Raccoons have killed about 10 cats in a three-block area near the
Garfield Nature Trail at Harrison Avenue West and Foote Street
Southwest. Problem wildlife coordinator Sean Carrell of the state
Department of Fish and Wildlife called the situation "bizarre, weird."
..."It's a new breed," Keeton said. "They're urban raccoons, and
they're not afraid."...He said one big male boar is the main killer,
and he's tasted blood, and he wants more.

IT IS impossible to vilify Islam without also vilifying Muslims, because
the two are indistinguishable, the Victorian Court of Appeal was told
yesterday.... "They are restrained by law from suggesting or implying a
number of things about what in their view the Koran teaches: that it
preaches violence and killing, that women are of little value, that the
God of Islam, Allah, is not merciful, that there is a practice of
'silent jihad' for spreading Islam, or that the Koran says Allah will
remit the sins of martyrs.

Groups of young people have been congregating in a downtown parking lot
without clothing. "There's no real valid way to justify the banning of
nakedness," said one of the men, Adhi Palar, between licks on his
clarinet. "Nakedness does not violate any human rights
whatsoever."...With no law to enforce, Police Chief John Martin was
taking a laid-back approach.

"It's a very overwhelming subject for a lot of people to recognize that
there is slavery at this time in our country," said Carole Angel, staff
attorney with the Immigrant Women Program of the women's rights advocacy
group Legal Momentum in Washington. "It's hard for us as humans to
contemplate what this means."
