Andrew Sullivan writes about the recent conference on AIDS/HIV and his reaction to it. It is interesting to read something on this topic written by someone who is HIV positve and a survivor that does not bleat about the disease.

Mike, at the ever level-headed Cold Fury, has written a tight piece on the conviction of the Islamo-scumbags who murdered Daniel Pearl. Sheik Omar, an English-educated murderous loon, is going to get hung for it. (What, no drawn and quartering? What a gyp. How about a live broadcast of the execution?) His defence counsel promises an appeal, while Omar promises all-mighty revenge on the entire non-Islamic world.

AN OPEN LETTER IN SUPPORT OF THE PEOPLE OF IRAN FROM THE WEBLOGGING COMMUNITY
We are not politicians, nor are we generals. We hold no power to dispatch diplomats to negotiate; we can send no troops to defend those who choose to risk their lives in the cause of freedom.
What power we have is in our words, and in our thoughts. And it is that strength which we offer to the people of Iran on this day.
Across the diverse and often contentious world of weblogs, each of us has chosen to put aside our differences and come together today to declare our unanimity on the following simple principles:
– That the people of Iran are allies of free men and women everywhere in the world, and deserve to live under a government of their own choosing, which respects their own personal liberties – That the current Iranian regime has failed to create a free and prosperous society, and attempts to mask its own failures by repression and tyrannyWe do not presume to know what is best for the people of Iran; but we are firm in our conviction that the policies of the current government stand in the way of the Iranians ability to make those choices for themselves.
And so we urge our own governments to turn their attention to Iran. The leaders and diplomats of the world’s democracies must be clear in their opposition to the repressive actions of the current Iranian regime, but even more importantly, must be clear in their support for the aspirations of the Iranian people.
And to the people of Iran, we say: You are not alone. We see your demonstrations in the streets; we hear of your newspapers falling to censorship; and we watch with anticipation as you join the community of the Internet in greater and greater numbers.
Our hopes are with you in your struggle for freedom. We cannot and will not presume to tell you the correct path to freedom; that is for you to choose. But we look forward to the day when we can welcome your nation into the community of free societies of the world, for we know with deepest certainty that such a day will come.

“The EMU is a mess of conflicting interests and crooked accounting. Britain must not join.”
The Telegraph puts the anti-Euro case; bluntly. Expect to see this refrain used by the anti-Euro campaign in their literature.

The Continuing Growl From The Den….....
Once again, Washington, D(isneyland) C(entral), has proven that it holds the premier position in the category of “How to Bungle a Good Idea”. Thanks to Rich Galen of Mullings, this article from the WaPo shows the ineptitude and innumerable barriers that prevent anything useful coming out of the newly minted, but already tarnished, Department of Homeland [IN]Security™.
