In case you have been in a hole for the last several days …
* President Bush gave his State of the Union Address, and an overall impressive one at that - despite some Democratic jeering (for some reason they recently quit believing that Social inSecurity is in a state of crisis) :
Bush at his best
* Condi & Alberto got confirmed:
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice
Attorney General Alberto Gonzales
* Iraq held FREE elections:
Despite threats of widespread violence, voter turnout was ~60%
… and they said ‘It would be nonsense to ask foreign troops to leave’
* An extreme leftist gets his comeuppance:
Ward Churchill loses Chair position, job next? … and more here
* In medical News:
Baby Jordan got a heart
Frank, the brain tumor, has been removed
* … and Action Figures (they’re not dolls!) become active in the War on Terror:
Insurgents in league with Cobra
Bush action figure performs daring rescue
Mattel pulling out of Iraq
Gene Simmons kidnapped!
Dolls, Action figures speak out
US kidnaps Cobra Commander
Bert & Ernie mounting rescue!
Comments, questions, concerns, corrections?
In the meantime - Enjoy the weekend!

Too bad we here in the States don’t experience a voter turn out of 60%. Perhaps we have forgotten to value what the Iraquis are learning to value dearly.
