AND THE NOMINEE IS... Rumors
are swirling
it's Edith
Brown Clement from the 5th
Circuit. Looks like we may know as early as today.
A
TERRORIST GOES FREE?: From the
Daily Telegraph:
Europe's
war against terrorism suffered a setback yesterday when Germany's
highest court refused to allow the extradition to Spain of an
al-Qa'eda suspect, ruling that the EU's new arrest warrant is
invalid under German law.
Mamoun Darkazanli
is a German citizen of Syrian descent who was friendly with at
least two of the 9/11 plotters and is also suspected to have aided
the Madrid bombers.
It almost
goes without saying that at some point the patience of the civilized
world is going to run short with cases like this and with laws
that allow people suspected of engaging in terrorist activities
to walk free.
BIG
GOVERNMENT = BAD GOVERNMENT: No less certain than the
sun rising in the east is the fact that big, bloated government
programs - even those designed with the best intentions - will
result in massive fraud and waste. So
it is, and so it always shall be.
McCAIN'S
VICTORY: Via Drudge, I see John McCain has won the battle
over the "boob-raunch fest" controversy by delivering
the
ultimate crowd-pleasing one liner: "In Washington, I
work with boobs every day."
Thus has
McCain turned a rather embarrassing case of hypocrisy into a humorous
expression of the public's enmity toward Congress and a perfect
extension of his image as a maverick. Touché. -
