THE LATEST ATTACKS IN BRITAIN

As of this writing, the latest from London is that British police have pumped five bullets into a suspected terrorist in the London Underground. Good riddance. Perhaps the suspect thought he was being chased by bobbies armed only with nightsticks. Bad move. Not in today's world.

So why is this guy taking his eternal celestial dirt nap? He was wearing a thick coat that looked padded to the officers. And he didn't stop. The immediate thought: suicide bomber. And so they didn't let him get away.

Yesterday's attacks, where four more terrorists attempted to set off bombs on, thankfully didn't go off as planned. It would appear their bomb-making skills are a little less than desirable. So now they're on the run. With the thousand of CCTV cameras all around Britain, there will be pictures released shortly. Will they also be Islamic terrorists practicing jihad? Probably.

Unfortunately, Al-Qaeda is just never going to stop this. They're going to constantly be looking for ways to kill more people in the name of Islam. We're probably next. It is an absolute miracle that the same thing hasn't happened here. Think of all the public transportation in this country. The crowded shopping malls. The sports stadiums. All of them just ripe targets for some Islamic killer in heavy parka, loaded with a suicide bomb.

The only thing we can do is what we're doing: invade the countries that are harboring these scumbags, rip terrorism out by the roots and kill them all. Too bad the Democrats are standing in the way.

THE LIBERAL DEFINITION OF FREE SPEECH

Those of you who have any memories of attending school no doubt will recall that many things were hung on the walls of classrooms throughout. Perhaps the teacher would hang a photo of Martin Luther King. Or if they were a history teacher, a picture of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Some lined the walls with pictures of all of the U.S. presidents. And that is where this latest little episode brings us.

Our story picks up with 26-year-old Jillian Caruso, who worked as a teacher at the Birch Lane Elementary School. She was forced to resign by the principal, Joyce Becker-Seddio. And what was her crime? She had a picture of George W. Bush hanging on her wall, among all of the other U.S. presidents. You see, Joyce Becker-Seddio is a Democrat. As a matter of fact, she's married to a Democratic politicians, New York Assemblyman Frank Seddio.

Naturally, the left hates George W. Bush. They do not believe he is the legitimate president of the United States. Anyone who would vote for, much less display a picture of President Bush is not to be tolerated against. And so it goes with the liberal definition of free speech: you have the right to free speech until they start to disagree with what you're saying.

Imagine if a Republican had become outraged at a picture of President Clinton hanging on a teacher's wall among the 43 presidents. We would never hear the end of it. But anyone with a single functioning brain cell knows that in order for the display to be historically accurate, all of the presidents must be hanging there. Perhaps it might be useful to let Principal Joyce Becker-Seddio know what you think, if you get a moment:

AUSTRALIAN PRIME MINISTER JOHN HOWARD

Yesterday, staunch U.S. and British ally Australian Prime Minister John Howard was paying a visit to 10 Downing Street to speak to Tony Blair. In the press conference afterward, he was asked by somebody named Paul if he thought the attacks in London were a result of the war in Iraq. His answer to that question is a masterpiece:

"Can I just say very directly, Paul, on the issue of the policies of my government and indeed the policies of the British and American governments on Iraq, that the first point of reference is that once a country allows its foreign policy to be determined by terrorism, it's given the game away, to use the vernacular. And no Australian government that I lead will ever have policies determined by terrorism or terrorist threats, and no self-respecting government of any political stripe in Australia would allow that to happen.

Can I remind you that the murder of 88 Australians in Bali took place before the operation in Iraq.

And I remind you that the 11th of September occurred before the operation in Iraq."

Perhaps when his stay down under is up, Prime Minister Howard could run for office here in the states. We could use some non-appeasers like him.

REDNECK SCRAP BOOK

Okay, yesterday was a cheap ploy to see how many of you were paying attention. Seems quite of few of you really enjoy the Redneck Scrap Book. So, I'll get up off my lazy bum, or down on it really, to keep the thing going. So for today...hey, did you see the poster for the new CSI spin-off rolling out this Fall?

READING ASSIGNMENTS

The media and leftists around the world are saying the latest round of attacks in London may be over the war in Iraq. If that's the case opines Jonah Goldberg, so what?  Good reading.

The House has passed a renewal of the Patriot Act.  The left is sure to be up in arms over this one.  There are no doubt areas of concern, particularly when it comes to civil liberties.  But just how many people bashing the Patriot Act have read the actual legislation?  Hint: not many.

The left has begun their smear campaign in earnest against Judge John Roberts, President Bush's nominee to the United States Supreme Court.  The first volley?  They say he might be gay.  Thanks to Powerline for that one.

Get out your tinfoil hat...the moonbat Congresswoman Barbara Lee wants to hold hearings on the "Downing Street Memo."  In other news, the Congressional Black Caucus will be holding hearings about beings from other planets.

New York Senator Chuck Schumer has been whining about John Roberts not fully answering his questions when he was nominated to the federal bench.  Here's what Senator Orrin Hatch thought of his questions. (You may want to swallow your food before you click that link.)

This doesn't really have anything to do with eminent domain abuse, but instead taxpayer abuse.  It's the latest craze of state and local governments: giving away free money to attract big business.  Today's suitor: Dell Computer.

David Limbaugh isn't ready to let the Karl Rove matter drop just yet.  As a matter of fact, he wants to keep it going just long enough to correct the "facts" the mainstream media are pushing.

So what kind of Supreme Court justice are we going to get in the next 25 years with John Roberts?  Charles Krauthammer says there's very little to go on.

The media continues to be very concerned about Supreme Court nominee John Roberts.  Their latest round of hand-wringing is over his stand on abortion.  The Media Research Center reports.

The conventional wisdom is that Islamofascists and jihadists are born and bred in the Middle East.  But Reuel Marc Gerecht makes the case that Europe may actually be a worse breeding ground.

Morning Sickness: In Florida, a naked man is breaking into houses and tickling women, mostly elderly women, as they sleep.

A blogger summarizes books on personal finance saving you even more money. Clark Howard would be so proud.

People have been doing fun things with Google Maps lately. There is the guy who uses it to browse crimes in Chicago neighborhoods. Now, you can find a hottie in your zip.

Morning Sickness Too: In Japan, call girl services offering love dolls instead of human flesh are the fastest growing segment of the call girl trade.

Intern Heather's Reading Assignments

If I had written something like this as a child , they would have called in security not given me a 1^st place award.

Don't blame Bush, blame Blair and his foreign policy . And suicide attacks are the 'natural result' of political decisions. Right Mr. Livingstone?

Seditious insurance: I came, killed 10 and all I got was this lousy T-shirt.

When you have to pay for girls to graduate as virgins ... you may be in Uganda.

If you can't beat them, join them. British police strip to protect nude beaches.
