GeoPolitical Review collars an AP story about Islamic extremists from Chechnya who French authorities say were planning a strike on the Eiffel Tower. At least this is what some of the more than two dozen detainees say, and AP reports the French believe plans were actually in the works.

Alan Keyes is a terrifically smart, very conservative conservative, who can't get elected, most recently when he moved to Illinois to challenge (if that is the word) now-U.S. Sen. Barack Obama. Hola! Keyes' 19-year-old daughter, has come out: she says she a "liberal queer." Take a look at the pic accompanying the linked article. Cute. Hope she doesn't cut her hair any shorter, tho. Hat tip: Binary Circumstance.

The Ward Churchill affair is another reminder of why we should privatize univerisities. So says a fella from the Ayn Rand Institute, anyway.

OK, every now and then, it's hard to resist one of these Gestapo Educator stories. A six-year-old gets busted for possession of a baggie full of......dirt. Hat tip to Jake at Smack My Booty.
