Ortega finds Jesus, and other events
Via Larwyn, Ortega's back (emphasis added):
It's hard to say what to make of the return of Daniel Ortega to Nicaragua. He says he's business friendly. He says he's found Jesus. But most signs in his election point to the reemergence of the old Marxist Sandinista autocrat he was in the 1980s. It's bad news for our hemisphere. But it's unlikely to be a trend.I don't know about the rest, but I'm willing to bet that he found his long-lost cousin Jesus (pronounced heh-SOOZ), not Our Lord Jesus Christ. Or maybe I'm too cynical.

NRO Buzz: Leahy, Senate Judiciary Dems To Investigate Laura Ingraham? I respectfully suggest that Laura then should counterattack by becoming a spokeswoman for cancer awareness, and go to Washington to testify at the Senate asking for money. She'll have the Senators eating out of her manicured hands in no time.

IRAQ'S BUTCHERS EXPLOIT OUR MORALITY
With Iraqi society decomposing - or, at best, reverting to a medieval state with cell phones - the debate in Washington over whether to try to save the day by deploying more troops or withdrawing some is of secondary relevance.Amir Taheri: DOUBLE-EDGED UNCERTAINTY
What really matters is what our forces are ordered - and permitted - to do. With political correctness permeating our government and even the upper echelons of the military, we never tried the one technique that has a solid track record of defeating insurgents if applied consistently: the rigorous imposition of public order.
That means killing the bad guys. Not winning their hearts and minds, placating them or bringing them into the government. Killing them.
If you're not willing to lay down a rule that any Iraqi or foreign terrorist masquerading as a security official or military member will be shot, you can't win. And that's just one example of the type of sternness this sort of fight requires.

Norway's population looks set to achieve record growth in 2006. Nonetheless, there are more Puerto Ricans in Puerto Rico's 3,000 square miles than Norwegians in Norway - and that doesn't count the Puerto Ricans that live elsewhere, like myself. However, the Lutheran Norwegians do travel.

Ortega's terrorist allies are the same today as twenty years ago. See National Review article by former Reagan and Bush speechwriter Mark Klugmann:
