From The Jawa Report:
Ziad Mohamad Jeha tries to bring a handgun on a plane from Calgary to Saskatoon. He is arrested. Police say that he, “is known to them.”
Nothing to see here folks, move along. Calls from the ISNA to not jump to conclusions in 4 … 3 … 2 ….

What did Chris Dodd (D) know and when did he know it? (Via The Hill):
Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.) said he and his wife knew Countrywide Inc. was treating them as “VIP” customers when they refinanced mortgages on two homes in 2003, but that it did not cross his mind he was getting a financial perk from the sub-prime lender.
Dodd, who as chairman of the Senate Banking Committee oversees mortgage lenders, said he did not ask and Countrywide’s representatives did not say what the VIP treatment entailed.
“We knew at the time that[...]
From The Jawa Report:
Abu Qatada al-Filisṭînî is out of jail. I only have a few thoughts to add to APs commentary here.
Abu Qatada is a specially designated foreign terrorist. When Mohammad Atta’s apartment in Germany was searched after 9/11, police found 19 video tapes of Qatada’s preaching violent jihad against the US.
We once battled Abu Qatada who’s supporters ran a website for him while he was in jaill. Jawa 1, Abu Qatada 0.
But up against the pussies in the British legal system: Abu Qatada 1,[...]

From Bob Barr 2008 Blog:
Bob Barr was in Texas over the weekend speaking to the state convention of the Libertarian Party of Texas. Bob hit on spending and civil liberties, but he asked the question, “Have you had enough?” He said that continuing to support Democrats and Republicans with the hopes that they will be different is, as Albert Einstein said, the definition of insanity, “doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”
You can listen to Bob’s speech here. The introduction was given by 2004 Libertarian Party presidential[...]
From Bob Barr 2008 Blog:
Most Americans are not even aware that ballot access laws exist in our country or how difficult it can be for third party or independent candidates just to get their name on the ballot.
But this is an issue that the Libertarian Party has dealt with from the beginning- usually successfully, but not always.
Right now, the LP has automatic ballot access in only 28 states. The rest of the states must be fought for by a combination of gathering signatures, paying fees and filing paperwork.
Richard Winger, editor of Ballot Access[...]
From Bob Barr 2008 Blog:
