Iraq: Fighting continues, McCain babbles nonsense

North County Times

"Sen. John McCain said Thursday that America should to deploy 15,000 to 30,000 more troops to Iraq to control its sectarian violence, and give moderate Iraqi politicians the stability they need to take the country in the right direction. McCain made the remarks to reporters in Baghdad, where he and five other members of Congress were meeting with U.S. and Iraqi officials. 'The American people are disappointed and frustrated with the Iraq war, but they want us to succeed if there's any way to do that,' McCain, a possible 2008 presidential candidate, said at a news conference at the U.S. Embassy in Iraq's heavily fortified Green Zone. ... Gunmen in military uniforms kidnapped dozens of people Thursday from a commercial area in central Baghdad, police said, and a car bomb killed two policemen who were trying to defuse it in Baghdad's Sadr City section, where officers were on high alert after receiving tips that militants were moving more bombs into the Shiite slum."

FL: Real gun trumps fake

Miami Herald

"A robber used a lighter resembling a pistol to steal a man's wallet -- only to be shot by his victim, who was armed with a gun that was real. Delbert Leroy Wells, 40, the would-be robber, lingered for two weeks at Jackson Memorial Hospital before succumbing to his wounds on Thanksgiving Day. On Nov. 8, Miami police say, Wells was driving a white Dodge when he pulled up to the car of Patrick Laguerre on Northwest 75th Street and North Miami Avenue at about 12:20 a.m. He asked for directions. As Laguerre was responding, Wells pulled out a nickel-plated lighter made to look like a gun. Laguerre gave him some loose dollars, 'but wanted more,' according to a police report. Wells searched his pockets, fished through his wallet an got back into his own car. But the wallet was empty. Wells 'became irate aiming the handgun at the victim, stated he was going to shoot,' the police report said. Laguerre took cover back in his own car, grabbed his own handgun and squeezed off three to four rounds." (11/27/06)

My health care is making me sick

Liberty For All
by Donna Mancini

"Getting sick is high on my list of life's biggest hassles these days! Excuse me if I am sounding like an 'old fogie' when I reminisce about the 'good old days;' but, I can't help thinking back on my childhood (in the 50s and the 60s) when my mom and dad would call our family doctor who lived in the neighborhood. Dr. Greenfield would keep my dad calmed down who was such a worry-wart that he would get sick along with me and my two sisters." (11/28/06)

Back to basics

The Libertarian Enterprise
by L. Neil Smith

"True, there a lot of obstacles to overcome: crooked election laws, crooked elections, corrupt officials, deliberate legal obstructions, outright disregard for the law when it works for us and against the BOYNers. But we don't have to overcome these obstacles by ourselves. Give people a good enough reason, and they'll storm the Bastille for you, clean out the judiciary with flamethrower and firehose, and hang an election official or a judge from each and every lamppost in the city. The key to a libertarian future is the libertarian future itself. The other parties are afraid to talk about the future. We are the future." (11/26/06)
