INSTAPUNDIT: GO READ LILEKS. Is the world angry at Russia, which spends nothing on AIDS and rebuffed Kyoto? Is the world angry at China, which got a pass on Kyoto and spends nothing on AIDS for other countries? Is the world angry at North Korea for killings its people? Angry at Iran for smothering that vibrant nation with corrupt and thuggish mullocracy? Angry at Syria for occupying Lebanon? Angry at Saudi Arabia for its denial of women’s rights? Angry at Russia for corrupt elections? Is the world angry at China for threatening Taiwan, or angry at France for joining the Chinese in joint military exercises that threatened the island on the eve of an election? Is the world angry at Zimbabwe for stealing land and starving people? Is the world angry at Pakistan for selling nuclear secrets? Is the world angry at Libya for having an NBC program? Is the world angry at the thugs of Fallujah? Is the world angry at anyone besides America and Israel? 8:53:20 AM

Bomb found on high-speed rail line in Spain Toronto Star - MADRID - Police found a bomb today on a high-speed rail line between Madrid and Seville, Interior Minister Angel Acebes said. It was not immediately known who placed the bomb, but I can take a guess.... Won't it be so ironic if the found bomb was put there by an Islamic terrorist Group? 7:55:41 AM

It's War: Google to Offer 1 Gig Email Accounts Techfocus News - Long considered the mainstays of email services and semi-personalized content to the masses, Microsoft and Yahoo have to be concerned with Google's latest move. That's right. Google has gone nuclear. Microsoft's Hotmail service offers two megabytes of storage. Yahoo mail offers four megabytes. In several weeks, Google will offer one gigabyte of mail storage space. They also claim that the mail service will include search technology to help you weed through your messages. The catch? Ads that are somewhat relevant to the content of the email. For instance, if you receive an email about George Bush, you might get an advertisement on the page that points to Kerry's website - or vice-versa. The stakes just went up. It'll be interesting to see what Microsoft and Google do to counter this no-holds-barred pursuit of their core audience. 7:52:58 AM
