Bush: bin Laden ordered non-Iraq attacks
According to the news article, President Bush is pointing to U.S. intelligence asserting that Osama bin Laden ordered a top lieutenant in early 2005 to form a terrorist unit to hit targets outside Iraq, and that the United States should be first in his sights.
Isn't Bush the same guy that said Iraq had weapons of mass destruction in order to justify the invasion of Iraq in the first place? Sorry Mr. President, your credibility is long gone.

Navy stages show of force off Iran coast
The U.S. Navy staged its latest show of military force off the Iranian coastline on Wednesday, sending two aircraft carriers and landing ships packed with 17,000 U.S. Marines and sailors to carry out unannounced exercises in the Persian Gulf.
I'd love to think that our presence would calm the Iranians down, but these guys are nuts. Note to Mr. Bush: Dude, don't flex your muscle unless you intend to use it. And by the way, don't use it. We're already stretched too thin. Are you trying to start WWIII?

Golfer dies after cart plunges off cliff
A golfer died Tuesday after his golf cart plunged 75 feet off a cliff and crashed onto a road below.
To add a little bit of irony to the stupidity, this happened in Fallbrook, CA.

Study: Climate change could harm crops
Climate change could drive many wild relatives of plants such as the potato and the peanut into extinction, threatening a valuable source of genes necessary to help these food crops fight pests and drought, an international research group reported.
Let's see here, they needed to study this? They couldn't use empirical evidence? And oh yeah, why don't they just plant the stuff somewhere else?
