We’ll see. This post got some attention on the morning thread.

Obama and infanticide. There are pro-choice (kill the baby before it's born) Americans, pro-partial birth (kill the baby as it’s being born) Americans, and pro-infanticide (kill the baby after it’s born) Americans. From The Catholic League:

To read more about how, while in the Illinois state senate, Obama led the fight to deny medical care to infants born alive as a result of botched abortions and let them die unaided in hospital rooms, check out the links below.

It's been a pain getting the approvals. We have big meetings and discusses everything, make decisions. Then when it goes to get approve folk who where in the meeting say "what's this for, we need a meeting."

$20 million spent on the project and they gripe about $750k in test equipment to make sure it works.

A rare good idea from McCain: McCain urges UK-style sessions for U.S. president

But here is the rub. It would be like TV in court rooms. I like the idea but in high profile cases (read OJ ), the participants play to the camera and it can become a farce. So televise it an it becomes a farce and keep it private and well nobody knows?

I just love the hyper-sensitivity from Obama Nation about the references to appeasement. Ha! The guy has spent the last three years yapping nonstop about what a failure GWB has been but when the slightest bit of criticism comes in his direction he whines and cries like a little beeyotch on the playground. Double HA! How long till we see an all-out meltdown from Mr. "Cool as the other side of the pillow" Someday soon he's gonna go all Jeremiah for the camera. Can't wait.

All joking aside it's a bit of a farce. What must happen is that the PM's own party get to ask questions as well. In the case of America with , for example , Bush and the Republican Party, a republican would stand up and ask a " question " such as " would the President agree with me that the economy is in great shape due to his wise handling of...."
It's only when the opposition ambush the PM with a seemingly innocent question and then lay into him with a follow-up that his team haven't forseen that the process has any value. And that can make it all worth while, actually.

Afghan teacher shot dead after condemning suicide bombings as un-Islamic

A teacher was shot to death in northern Afghanistan after he gave a speech condemning suicide bombings, it was revealed today.

Abdul Hadi claimed the attacks were un-Islamic and un-Afghan during a speech yesterday in the Archi district of Kunduz province.

He spoke at a gathering of about 700 people, including the Kunduz governor, and was on his way home when he was killed, Khair Mohammad Subat said.
