Tim Blair deserves the award for finding a global warming solution.
Simply ban automatic cars, as I advised in 2005.
Makes sense to me!

Iraq the Model sees hope. Here’s a snippet.
Today I heard unconfirmed news about plans to return the remaining 9 Sunni mosques to the Sunni endowment department. I hope this gesture be met with a similar move on the Sunni end in areas where Shia are minority.In other encouraging news, I saw on the local Baghdad news that US and Iraqi soldiers have discovered about 60 weapon caches since the beginning of this month, and detained more than 140 suspects during the same period.
Other incidents that indicate a positive change in Maliki’s policy are the arrest of deputy minister of health Hakim al-Zamili, and the deployment of IA soldiers to provide security for hospitals in Baghdad instead of the FPS.
Amir Taheri sees cooperation.
The 6+2 (a bloc of moderate Arab states)message is clear: Even if the Americans run away post-Bush, these nations won’t submit to a Pax Khomeinista dictated by Tehran.

The Dixie Chicks won 5 grammys last night and good for them. I’ve heard that album and it is very good. And I still won’t listen to them on purpose. And I suspect their income will continue to be in the tank.
1) Who doesn’t get it? The media for one. In this story, here is the story:
The Dixie Chicks are Nashville refugees for reasons of politics and personality — after stinging comments about President Bush, country radio banned them and country fans shunned them
No, it was after stinging comments about President Bush while in a foreign country. The same reason Jimmy Carter is “over the top”. You don’t piss on your own family while in the company of your neighbors. Unless your neighbor is your therapist!
2) Who else doesn’t get it. The Dixie Chicks themselve.
“I think people are using their freedom of speech tonight with all these awards,” said Natalie Maines, the lead singer of the Texas-bred band and a firebrand figure for much of America.
Yes, in a way, that is freedom of speech. As is country music fans deciding we no longer want to listen to them!
Freedom of speech goes in all directions. Thank God.
