I know some "Terrorists" by This Standard
Wow, I guess you'd better keep your iPod to yourself these days:
AMERICAblog: Because a great nation deserves the truth British anti-terrorism detectives escorted a man from a plane after a taxi driver had earlier become suspicious when he started singing along to a track by punk band The Clash, police said Wednesday.
Detectives halted the London-bound flight at Durham Tees Valley Airport in northern England and Harraj Mann, 24, was taken off.
The taxi driver had become worried on the way to the airport because Mann had been singing along to The Clash's 1979 anthem "London Calling," which features the lyrics "Now war is declared -- and battle come down" while other lines warn of a "meltdown expected."

Why Paul Mirengoff is a Horrible Political Analyst
Paul Mirengoff loves what Fred Hiatt has to say about the Democrat's national security plan, as the plan is described by Fred Hiatt:
Power Line: "Warriors" without credibilitly Hiatt also notes that, while the Democrats promise to "buy more weaponry than the Bush administration [and] sign up more troops," they also implicity reject the notion that we are (or should be) engaged in a long-term global struggle against terrorism.
So Mirengoff thinks Hiatt thinks the Democrats think we (as a country) should NOT fight against terrorism? This goes to show how out of touch Paul Mirengoff is with reality. If Mirengoff or Hiatt really believe that that's what Democrats believe, I can understand why they demonize them.
In reality, Democrats simply see strategies beyond just air bombing and ground invasions as viable terrorism prevention strategies.
If Mirengoff can't understand his political opponent's position - or simply refuses to - he's going to continue to make assinine statements based on his distorted world view.

George W Bush Continues to Screw Working Women
From the Washington Monthly:
FOX, MEET HENHOUSE.... Hey, guess who President Bush has nominated to head up the Labor Department's Wage and Hour Division? That's right: the guy who represented Wal-Mart in trying to prevent a class of 1.5 million women from suing the company for discrimination in pay and promotions! He also appears to oppose pretty much every regulation related to wages and hours ever passed.
