A 29-year-old woman allegedly forged documents and assumed the identity of an Annapolis attorney, apparently for the sole purpose of having sex with an inmate at a Baltimore prison.
A Scientist Who Became A Priest
Colby Cosh remembers Carl Sagan.:
He continued to expound the gospel even as improved modelling showed that the likely effect would be closer to “nuclear autumn.” But his fancies came to an end in 1991 when he warned Western governments that ignition of the Kuwaiti oil fields by Saddam Hussein would be certain to induce the equivalent of nuclear winter. When Saddam lit the match, it was only Sagan’s prestige that fell to below zero. In his 1996 book The Demon- Haunted World, he all but acknowledged that his own “baloney detector” had suffered interference from his personal politics. Yet contemporary iconographers now claim that Sagan’s hypothesis, though wrong, frightened Mikhail Gorbachev so badly that Sagan can be credited with playing a “role” in ending the Cold War. (If you believe what the Soviet generals have to say on the subject, Ronald Reagan’s investments in missile-defence research — which Sagan fought to the point of civil disobedience– were more persuasive.)
Nuts
It was sixty two years ago that General McAuliffe gave his legendary response to the German surrender demands during the Battle of the Bulge. On the sixtieth anniversary, I described how today’s media would have treated the matter.
Isn’t It Obvious?
You shouldn’t need a think tank to figure this out, even though many foolish diplomats, at Foggy Bottom and in Europe, don’t get it.
“There is no longer a possibility for effective sanctions to stop Iran,” retired Brig.-Gen. Zvi Shtauber, of Tel Aviv University’s Institute for National Security Studies, told The Jerusalem Post.
“Our conclusion is that without military action you won’t be able to stop Iran,” Shtauber said.
We have a very grim choice before us, and the administration doesn’t seem to be doing anything to prepare the American people for it. We will have a war with Iran, or we will have a nuclear-armed Iran (with a nuclear arms race in the rest of the Middle East). That’s it.

Strange Job Description
Am I the only one who thinks it strange that Rosie O’Donnell is described by Baba Wawa as the “moderator” of The View? Seems like “extremator” would be a better title.
Evolution In Action
Fortunately, she didn’t take anyone with her. Behold, a woman who killed herself putting on makeup behind the wheel:
“There was makeup all over the air bag,” said a police source.
Open containers of cosmetics also were found in the front seat, the source said.
Perez was driving a 2005 black Mitsubishi northbound on the parkway about 7 a.m. when she veered off the road by a bend where the Henry Hudson turns into the Saw Mill River Parkway, police said.
Alone in the car and not wearing a seatbelt, Perez careened over 200 feet of grass before hitting a tree, authorities said.
I suspect that she raised the average IQ of New York City, and the rest of the world, too. Not sure whether it rates a Darwin, though, it doesn’t say whether or not she’d bred.
Withholding Evidence
Here’s a weird case. A man is refusing to have a bullet removed from his head, because it may help convict him of the crime in which he allegedly received it. It’s certainly a novel legal theory by his lawyers, but given the precedence of breathalizers and having to pee in a cup, I don’t think they have a legal leg to stand on.
Picking A CPU
This is timely. I’ve been planning to do some system upgrades, but haven’t been paying that much attention to the last couple generations of processors. Here’s a nice overview of the situation and a buyers’ guide.
