I’ve calmed myself down today, but there are some others who are still fighting mad:

• House of Eratosthenes is fired up today, and speculates that America may have ‘jumped the shark‘ when the courts started worrying about rules instead of seeking the truth.
• Independent Conservative wonders if the horrific dragging death of Luz Maria Franco-Fierros will be treated with the same scrutiny as the James Byrd case in 1998. An illegal immigrant from Mexico, Jose Luis Rubi-Nava, has been arrested for the crime. By the way, he was stopped for a traffic violation in Denver five months ago but not detained by police. According to CNN: “Police spokeswoman Virginia Quinones said the arresting officer suspected Rubi-Nava’s identification may have been forged, but she said the department was not responsible for verifying a suspect’s immigration status, and a new Colorado law directing police to cooperate with federal immigration officers was not yet in force.” Nice.
• Conservative Musings finds yet another reason to boycott Venezuela’s Citgo gas stations … a call from left-wing blog to buy Citgo to protest US policy!
• Right Wing Nation awards Wolf Blitzer the ‘Idiot of the Day’ Award. Of course, he’s not the only one that thinks that Iran ought to have nuclear weapons, Newsbusters reminds us that Ted Turner does too! Of course, since he personally ended the Cold War, he does have some credibility on this issue.
• Ankle Biting Pundits note that the alleged threat to Pakistan was relvealed to have come from, of all people, Richard Armitage! Also, they note: “The real irony here is most of Pakistan is just five minutes away from being in the Stone Age anyway.”
