The Boston Globe notes that the Democrats in Washington are feeding heavilly at the trough, with Jack Murtha being the biggest hog. The Republicans are only a little better, unfortunately.

Is North Korea finally going Chinese? Der Spiegel is reporting on a North Korean experiment in capitalism.

Islamists like the dark and want no examination of their Wahhabi religion. They are often aided in that quest by useful idiots in the West who are lulled into support or tolerance out of sheer ignorance.

A phobia is an unjustified fear. There is a world of justification for being concerned with Wahhabi Islam.
