The threats begin!
National Review Online: "Friends,
Let the resounding defeat of Senator Joe Lieberman send a cold shiver down the spine of every Democrat who supported the invasion of Iraq and who continues to support, in any way, this senseless, immoral, unwinnable war. Make no mistake about it: We, the majority of Americans, want this war ended and we will actively work to defeat each and every one of you who does not support an immediate end to this war."
Friends, indeed....

OpinionJournal - Extra: "In this context, mutual assured destruction, the deterrent that worked so well during the Cold War, would have no meaning. At the end of time, there will be general destruction anyway. What will matter will be the final destination of the dead--hell for the infidels, and heaven for the believers. For people with this mindset, MAD is not a constraint; it is an inducement."
Sad
The Columbus Dispatch - Local/State: "Officers used Mace to subdue Clarett after a stun gun was ineffective because the former Fiesta Bowl star was wearing a bullet-resistant vest, Sgt. Michael Woods said."
Doesn't sound like he was goin' to the 7-11 to pick up some milk...

R News: As It Happens, Where It Happens
R News: As It Happens, Where It Happens: "ALBANY, N.Y.-- Students with limited English could face a harder time taking state tests from now on.
State education officials said that any student with at least one year of U.S. schooling will have to take the regular English Language Arts exam. Until now, students with less than three years of U.S. schooling could take a different test for English as a second language.
The change affects about 90,000children in grades three through eight who speak limited English. The next test is in January.
New York has been under pressure from the federal government to improve its testing.
In June, the feds threatened the state with a loss more than a million dollars in aid per year if New York did not change its testing process within a year. "

New Registration Rules Stir Voter Debate in Ohio - New York Times
New Registration Rules Stir Voter Debate in Ohio - New York Times: "Under the law, passed by the Republican-led state legislature in January 2006, paid voter registration workers must personally submit the voter registration cards to the state, rather than allow the organizations overseeing the drives to vet and submit them in bulk.
By requiring paid canvassers to sign and put their addresses on the voter registration cards they collect, and by making them criminally liable for any irregularities on the cards, the rules have made it more difficult to use such workers, who most often work in lower-income and Democratic-leaning neighborhoods, where volunteers are scarce. "

More media lies exposed!
The American Thinker: "We live in two different worlds, as the old pop song had it. One world employs local stringers who may well either be under the thumb of Hezbollah, Hamas, or other villainous groups, or who are outright partisans. But they claim to be objective."

Hill Climb this weekend!
Muskegon Motorcycle Club - Home: "Once every two years, the west end of Mt. Garfield road becomes a site for the National Hill Climb, attracting nearly 10,000 spectators. This is your opportunity to see top professionals launch nitro charged bikes at a mountain of dirt, clay and sand that’s over 300’ long. This is about as extreme as a sport can get, and requires unique skills, after all when you add up the ingredients: A mountain of dirt with 3 huge jumps, highly flammable nitro, an insanely modified motorcycle, and a goal of getting fastest time.... Get the idea? It takes a professional, with the mental ability to not only overcome all of the aforementioned, but to make hundreds of calculations and adjustment in just a few seconds. Physical strength is important too, there is a lot of “muscling” the bike up the run and all of this while the nitro exhaust burns your eyes and nose. "

A Grumman TBM World War II Navy airplane taxied up behind a homebuilt R.V.6 and as it caught up with the significantly smaller homebuilt, the Grumman's propeller sliced into the R.V.6. The passenger in the side-by-side seat R.V.6 was pronounced dead at the scene while the pilot of the aircraft was not injured, authorities said. "
