Volcker asks U.S., allies to link U.N. budget to reform

Amazing! A good idea for getting the UN to exercise some semblance of responsibility.

The BEST response would be to tell the whole UN to not let the door hit 'em in the butt on the way out, but as long as we're still stuck with them, something like this is a necessity.

China denies targeting U.S. cities

This bit of diplospeak SOUNDS good. You can believe just as much of it as you want to. Before you believe much of it, be sure to check out relevant articles on this Bill Gertz site, especially THIS!

As far as the Chief is concerned, you can trust the ChiComs to be...ChiComs, and not much more.

Bush vows to oust 'every single' illegal

Mr. Bush said the government has to stop illegal entrance in the first place, needs to improve its ability to catch illegal aliens who have crossed, and must ensure that those who are caught are deported.

This is another one that sounds GREAT on first examination. It suggests that Bush took some Tom Tancredo (R-CO) pills by accident. Ooops! Keep reading...at the same time he's still pushing that new quasi-amnesty "guest worker" scheme.

But even as he talked tough on illegal immigration, he continued to lobby for a program that would allow foreign workers to legally cross the border to fill U.S. jobs temporarily.

And it's even worse that that sounds:

As Mr. Bush was pushing his proposal, though, his nominee to lead the Citizenship and Immigration Services was telling the Senate Judiciary Committee that the agency, which probably would run such a guest-worker program, cannot do it right now. "The systems that exist right now wouldn't be able to handle it," Emilio Gonzalez said, though he added that, if approved, he would take immediate steps to get the agency ready.

When it sounds too good to be true, it generally IS too good to be true. Maybe THIS has something to do with it:

The sudden hard line comes as Mr. Bush is trying to assuage his conservative political base, much of which is upset over his nomination of White House counsel Harriet Miers to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Surprise, surprise, surprise! NOT!

At last the smell of reality!

The current estimated Powerball lotter jackpot is $340 million dollars, with a cash value of about $164 million. It could very well be more by tonight's drawing. Don't think that I couldn't find a couple of dollars in the cupholder...
