Quick Hit #1: Syrian facility worse than a nuclear reactor?
That's the statement being made now by Prof. Uzi Even of Tel Aviv University. The common thought of the facility mysteriously bombed by Israel a few weeks ago is that it was a nuclear reactor, but Even is saying that due to several key physical features and some other circumstances, it is more likely the facility was a factory for making atomic bombs. Just speculation at this point, but it does make one wonder.
Quick Hit #2: Supreme Court and gun control.
Instapundit's Glenn Reynolds writes at the New York Post that the Supreme Court has three options in regard to the decision about the 2nd Amendment:
1. it can rule the 2nd Amdt. doesn't do anything since it's a relic of an outdated era; the danger about that is that it would allow any part of the Constitution to be ruled, in effect, outdated
2. it can rule the 2nd Amdt. allows for the arming of state armies, not individual people; the problem there is that states could say every citizen is part of a state militia and grant them authority to own machine guns, tanks, etc.
3. it could find that the 2nd Amdt. allows individual Americans to own a gun Just like it says...duh! Then again, with courts you never know.
Quick Hit #3: Musharraf update.
Pakistani President Musharraf has apparently cleared the last legal hurdle to being re-elected to a second term through a hand-picked court. It looks like he's got his second term, but now the question is whether or not he'll resign as General.
Quick Hit #4 (Fun & Frivolity): Man forgets car at gas station.
A man in Berlin, Germany filled up his car at a gas station, then walked off and left it. Apparently, after an hour or so, an employee got suspicious and called it in to authorities, who contacted the man; he then came back to pick up his car. Why is it that so many of these crazy stories come from Germany??
Have a great weekend!
