From the Jerusalem Post: An Iranian terrorist group stated on Wednesday that it was recruiting Muslim British citizens to come to Israel to execute suicide bombing attacks against Israelis. A spokesman for the group, Mohammad Samadi, told the London-based Guardian that Israel was the primary target of their attacks. “All the Jews are targets, whether military or civilian.

From ABC News: Minuteman border watch leader Chris Simcox has a message for President Bush: Build new security fencing along the border with Mexico or private citizens will. Simcox said Wednesday that he’s sending an ultimatum to the president, through the media, of course “You can’t get through to the president any other way” to deploy military reserves and the National Guard to the Arizona border by May 25.

Patterico asks: Is an L.A. Times columnist leaving comments on the Internet under assumed “sock puppet” identities — identities which he pretends is someone other than himself? Read on and judge for yourself. As for me, I’ve made up my mind, and the answer is “yes.” Jesus.  Well, I can’t really speak to Michael Hiltzik’s motivation, but I know that when I’m looking for a little self-affirmation and gratification, I

I had the opportunity to have a few drinks with a visiting Matt Heidt (formerly of Froggy Ruminations) last evening, who was in from California on business.  One of the topics we spent a good deal of time discussing is how the US might (and should) handle growing Iranian nuclear threat.  Neither of us found any of the options particularly promising—premising our conversation on the shared assertion that, even though
