So This is Christmas
Senator Tim Johnson Is in Critical Condition
A Republican appointee would create a 50-50 tie, and allow the GOP to retain Senate control.
This is what the media is talking about. I'm thinking about his family. Dad's not much past that age and after two ocular strokes this year, well... let's just say I feel worse for that family than I do for the US.
Judge Upholds Detainee Rights Terror Law
"This is the first time in the history of this country that a court has held that a man may be held by our government in a place where no law applies," said Barbara Olshansky, an attorney with the Center for Constitutional Rights, which has handled many detainee cases.
Bush got what he wanted for Christmas.
Sudan dismisses Darfur 'threats'
However, the BBC's correspondent says that, while Mr Natsios said the talks had been productive, there is still no sign that Sudan's government will agree to a UN force.
There is a growing sense of frustration and urgency in Washington over the situation in Darfur, he says.
I'm not quite clear on what a No-Fly Zone or naval blockade would do to ease the horrendous situation in Darfur. George Clooney is in Eqypt appealing for help after trying to talk the Chinese into backing the UN plan to send in more troops - which Sudan would consider a threat to it's sovereignty and therefore is unwilling to accept. I wish him and everyone else trying to end this disaster well and hope they succeed soon. You can read more about Sudan, Darfur and the nightmare there on the BBC site: Sudan: A Nation Divided.

I couldn't post to your blog either. Send Mr. Shaky to www.alljudaica.com for your presents. Do we get an invitation to your Bat Mitzvah?
The media coverage of the Senate is evil, IMHO. The man is seriously ill. Vultures!

Blogger is behaving very badly and I've sent an email off to support letting them know.
Don't hold your breath on it getting fixed.
Nobody anywhere cares about the refugees of Dufar.....they are black. When's the last time anybody gave a damn what happened to blacks? Now, if they would all go and get raped and die over a nice healthy oil field, that would be a different story. We would suddenly detect weapons of mass destruction hidden in Kartoum and we'd invade lickety-split! We would even recall Rumsfield to do it right! And we would allow Bush another term in order to protect us from the new batch of terrorists we'd create. Doncha just love humanity?
