Now the good news:

Key Elements of U.N. Resolution on Iran

The U.N. Security Council imposed new sanctions on Iran over its nuclear program, expanding on sanctions approved in December. The key points of the two measures: /snip/ A call on all nations ''to exercise vigilance and restraint'' in supplying tanks, combat aircraft and other heavy weapons to Iran. An asset freeze on 15 individuals and 13 organizations and companies.

(Ummm... let's see... exercise vigilance and restraint... okay... asset freeze on 15 people and 13 organizations... How many folks in Iran and how many terror supporters?... Nevermind, forget I posted this)

Oh boy... check this out:

New UN Human Rights Body
Comes Under Fire (from who you ask... wait for it...)

On the heels of a well-received report on Darfur by the newly revamped UN Human Rights Council, the body is in danger of having its power stripped away. The EU says, give the council more time. Cuba is leading a bid by a number of countries to strip the Human Rights Council of its power to investigate and condemn violations of human rights, a move some activists warn could jeopardize the entire UN's credibility. (Yep, world ending)

Calling it murder is absurd! (Preach Bob!)

On Nov. 19, 2005, United States Marines killed 24 civilians in an Iraqi town called Haditha. The dead included men, women and children. This past December, four Marines were charged with murder. But was it murder? Let's examine the events that led up to that terrible day.

Kroger stores reopen
after widespread computer glitch

Snip:

All Kroger stores in Greater Cincinnati were closed for several hours Friday night and into this morning because of a computer glitch related to the nationwide pet-food recall. But all are now open for business. The glitch affected more than 1,000 stores from Detroit to Atlanta... Affected stores were located in Atlanta, Columbus, Detroit, Dayton, Indianapolis, Memphis and Little Rock...
