Cops: Teens ended pregnancy with a baseball bat -- Remember, kids, legal and safe abortions are bad. That's why, if you do end up a pregnant teen, you should have your boyfriend whack you in the stomach with a baseball bat.

Meanwhile, House Republicans want to change party rules to ensure that DeLay retains his post if a Texas grand jury indicts him as it did with three of his political associates. See, kids? You can never be too big a hypocrite. :)

Also, should Canada indict Bush and charge him with war crimes? On one hand, I loathe him enough to root for the Canadians to do it. On the other hand, he is our President, like it or not, and if they indict him for war crimes, that reflects well on us ... or, you know, not.

EDIT: The United States laid down the gauntlet to Europe Wednesday by saying the responsibility for trimming the U.S. current account deficit cannot rest on the U.S. alone and other countries must help by boosting demand. -- "I screwed up, so you have to help me." *eye roll*

Sorry, that came out wrong. I meant that if a normal criminal was arrested, the law would not be changed for him, and I don't think a President should be treated any differently.

Were it a "normal" crime, then yes. Trouble with Belgium is that they did the equivalent of dropping the charges. Makes them nothing but a bunch of chicken-wusses, ergo, their national opinion is pretty much meaningless.

With an accusation of this magnitude, however, either shit or get off the pot. Out-and-out accuse the guy, or let it drop. The trouble with stuff like this is that diplomats are by nature wishy-washy and cowardly, and won't do the right thing and come out and say "Hey, you've committed a war crime, and we're making a formal accusation".

And really, do cowards HAVE any rights?

Stupid Belgium. That could have beeen fun. Oh well, I'll just be over here in Britain, trying to stop Blair getting re-elected...
