College Republicans Compiling List of Liberal Professors
Randiah Green, The Independent Collegian
"UT College Republicans President Matt Rubin, a junior majoring in political science and public administration, says the list is not an attempt to bash professors who have liberal ideas, but an attempt to speak out for students who may have been victims of political bias."

The battleship that started World War Two
"The Schleswig Holstein sailed into a harbour near Gdansk on an apparent courtesy visit, only then to fire on the Polish garrison. These, as it turned out, were the opening shots of WW2. Marcin Trzcinski dives an historic battleship wreck."

New 'booze Asbos'
"New powers to impose Drinking Banning Orders - dubbed "booze Asbos" - on people who behave anti-socially while drunk have come under fire.""It will be jelly bean Asbos for sugared-up kids next. Surely it's time to call last orders on endless new legislation."
Obama's unholy attack
By Kathryn Lopez"The mix of politics and religion can be an intoxicating cocktail. Just now, you can smell the incense everywhere, from Martha's Vineyard to Washington. For a left that obsesses over a wall of separation between church and state, when death comes and health care bills need rallies, there is little hesitation to break out the devotional smells and bells. But the loss of Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, one of the most prominent Catholic politicians in the United States, a leading proponent of health care reform and major supporter of the president's agenda, should not obscure a pivotal fact: Barack Obama has put himself at war with the Catholic Church."

...thick smoke during the Station fire in the Acton area of Los Angeles, California August 30, 2009. The heat-driven fire nearly doubled in size overnight and has now burned 35,000 acres (14,000 hectares) of thick, bone-dry brush in the mountains above five towns, a 10-mile (16 km) stretch from La Crescenta to Pasadena, the California Fire Department said."

The Incredibly Dissembling Obama
By Curt Smith
"I admit to often taking George W. Bush to a rhetorical woodshed. “He has the Reverse Midas Touch,” I once wrote. “Everything Bush touches, he destroys.” If you find a harsher non-left critic, this conservative will chant misunderestimate.
Alas, the average Leftist is not as objective about W.’s successor: an intellectually dishonest base denying the Incredibly Dissembling Obama. Recently, the President visited the Grand Canyon: a metaphor for the gulf between how he governs and campaigned."
