Have a Cow, Man
I hope that everyone had an excellent weekend. Mine wasn't too shabby: I got confirmed at church, finished an article on time, and I think there was some more. Here are a few news stories from last week.
UPI has a fantastic op-ed piece by Cheryl Benard, detailing why we shouldn't negotiate with the Taliban - at least, not yet. In other terrorism-related news, a recent statement by CIA director Michael Hayden indicates that Osama bin Laden is isolated from al Qaeda as a whole, and concentrating primarily on his own security. (BBC, CNN, Times) The flip-side of Hayden's statement is that he confirms what many of us have been saying for a long time: al Qaeda is putting a lot of its eggs in the North African basket, and increasing numbers of Western-born terrorist recruits are traveling to Pakistan to receive training.
Speaking of North Africa, and following up on a couple of stories from last week, there's been a mixed reaction to last week's vote in Algeria over the abolition of term limits for the presidency.
There are a few interesting stories in the world of science. NASA scientists have taken the first picture of a planet outside our solar system (Times, BBC, APOD). Archaeologists working in Syria have uncovered what they believe to be the largest ancient church in Syria at a site in Palmyra, and a Dutchman with a metal detector has found a cache of Celtic and Germanic coins in a field outside Maastricht.
I love parody videos - some of which I see before I see the original video. Today's one of those days, and the parody is by Remy of GoRemy. I proudly present "Whatever You Like: The Cow Version".
Nothing more for today. Check back tomorrow, and have a fantastic Monday.
