This is vaguely unnerving.
In other news, Powerline's evil scheme to make Specter accountable to his party and his constituents seems to have succeeded.

Now that drivel is up and running again (thanks to Brady's magical linux skills), I can post what i was going to say the other day about Arafat's death. For a while there, he was being Schroedinger's terrorist.
Schroedinger had a theory (referred to as Schroedinger's cat) that if you put a cat in a box with a device that had a 50/50 chance of killing it, the cat was neither alive nor dead until you opened the box to see (this was in the context of quantum physics, which really do not make much sense). Arafat, after entering France, was (according to the news, at least) both alive and dead at the same time, with the extra state of 'braindead' thrown in to boot. We weren't sure he was really dead until he was removed from the box… er, France.
Well, I thought it was an amusing analysis of the situation. It just sounds dumb when I have to explain it though.
Hey, it's my blog. If you want things that are amusing and make sense, go somewhere else!

Obituary for a scumbag.
Also, Belgium tries to eliminate political parties they disagree with.

Looks like the “United States of Canada” won't be as large as some people seem to think. There are also some other maps here that are interesting.

I was looking into the attempt to attack Jordan with chemical weapons earlier this year, and have found some interesting articles on it. Quite an interesting link here as well that mentions it.
In other news, the aurora borealis is visible again tonight (though not as bright as Sunday or even Friday night) and it looks as though there will be more.

The US isn't the only country with troublesome judges. I can't see US judges getting away with something like this though, not even the ninth circuit court of appeals.

Those terrorists really have no chance.

I find thisrather amusing.

Turns out the 50-odd million people who voted for Bush weren't as stupid as some would like to say.

Hollywood believes that morals are caused by voting Republican.
They don't even think about the idea that maybe people have realized that modern remakes of movies suck.
