News commentary 2006

Forget talk radio, I'm all about my family's nightly email. From yesterday:

The news seems to imply that Alito has said something significant in saying that he believes a judge should enforce the law.  The question, of course, is just what he believes the law to be.

Another interesting puzzle in the headlines is the claim that Iran has broken the UN seals on its nuclear research facilities.  If you read far down in the story, you find that the IAEA inspectors were there.  A couple of days ago, there was a story that Iran was expecting IAEA approval for resuming research aimed at power reactors rather than weapons, and intended to have the inspectors remove the seals as soon as they received that approval, which was expected within a day or two.  But not explained in the current stories is whether the UN inspectors did approve resuming the research - all the stories say is that the US and Britain are upset about it.

Just a reminder that we get about the worst healthcare among industrialized nations, while paying at least 50% more for it:

And another reminder about the air war in Iraq, with an explanation of why so many civilians are being killed:

You know those "interesting times" in the old curse? Yeah, we're still living in 'em.

Blog (noun) A weblog or similar brief journal usually containing links and commentary thereon. Term coined by Peter Merholz.
Visit Typepad or Blogger to start your own. (I began with hand coding, then switched to Blogger when it first became available, then to Movable Type when I wanted more control over my weblog and to have it hosted at a place of my choosing (Hurricane Electric). Now I use Typepad, built by the same folks who made Movable Type and I love it).
