It's all over! The last little shred of freedom is being lost to a desire for safety! Just call the Commies up and give them the keys to the country:
CONCORD, N.H. - The Live Free or Die state's days of unrestrained driving could be numbered.
New Hampshire would give up its status as the only state without a mandatory seat belt law for adults under a bill the House approved Thursday in a 153-140 vote. The bill next goes to the Senate.
I don't know about some of these clueless kids today. We haven't had a really good flag-burning incident in years. And here these three college students take all the trouble to burn an American flag and don't even bother to make it a good First Amendment controversy:
I can't add anything to this, except to hope his conclusion is right:
What the Democrats object to, however, is the idea that it is a "global war." In particular, they are trying to sell the fantasy that Iraq is a discrete problem with no relation to any broader conflict--so that surrendering in Iraq would have no deleterious consequences for U.S. national security.

Meanwhile, back in Persia, "deplorable" has been downgraded to "grave concern":
Getting ready for the next Katrina:
NEW ORLEANS (AP) - The leader of the city's effort to recover from Hurricane Katrina unveiled a $1.1 billion plan Thursday aimed at jump-starting the sluggish revitalization work.
The plan focuses on 17 zones throughout the city, from busy Canal Street to the hard-hit Lower 9th Ward, city recovery director Ed Blakely said.
Enough intentional contrariness for one day; let's try something less controversial. Granted that it's reprehesible to get somebody drunk for the purpose of taking advantage of the loss of rational judgment, shouldn't our standards be different if both parties are drunk and stupid?
A drunken woman can still consent to sex, the Court of Appeal ruled yesterday.
Our favorite band of merry religious warriors is on the march again, this time planning to picket a military funeral in neighboring Ohio:
An innovative way to get those pesky test scores up:
State lawmakers appear on the verge of dumping the math and science sections of the 10th-grade Washington Assessment of Student Learning (WASL), and replacing them with a very different kind of test.
