Absolutely horrible news today: A Missouri woman, eight months pregnant, was murdered, and her baby was stolen. And every headline is blaring about a missing "fetus." I'm sorry. A missing fetus? A living baby, cut from its murdered mother's womb, is a fetus now? Eight months old, and the baby is still a fetus?

According to Fox, leaders in England and Ireland published a new set of guidelines for peace in Northern Ireland.
Sinn Fein is pissed because they see any demand to publish photos of IRA disarmament as humiliation. And also because England has been co-opting their Island for the last eight hundred or so years.

From his article in The American Spectator:

I found this on the WashPost today. Apparently, even women who are in so-called good faith marriages (i.e., those that aren't entered into with the express purpose of obtaining US citizenship) can be deported if their husbands die less than two years into the marriage.

Just two small points:
1) Back in July, I mentioned that the UN had given the Sudan a month to clean up its act and stop permitting genocide against African Christians by rampaging Islamic janjaweed before the UN would consider the possibility of considering sanctions.
