Back in February, the British press ripped Matt Drudge for revealing a secret they'd been keeping: Prince Harry was stationed in Afghanistan, deployed with the British Army in Helmand Province. The secret had gotten out in an obscure Australian magazine and German's Bild newspaper, and Drudge passed the news along to his audience of millions. Brits were so outraged that they mistakenly started sending me a flood of hate mail. Given this, it's worth noting that the British press is now putting another high-profile soldier in danger by reporting details of his service in a war zone.

Feel the need for a serious shiver of terror? Check out this video of Palin addressing a group of "graduates" of something at the Wasilla Assembly of God Church.

Now the truth slowly leaks out: Gov Palin's nod to become McSame's VP candidate comes not out of the blue...

But from the dark side......!

Sarah Palin's either going to turn out to be the boldest vice presidential choice in American history or the worst. So little is known about the charismatic and unseasoned Alaska governor that the next 70 days will be a massive public version of This is Your Life, much of which will be a total surprise to the McCain campaign. There are numerous media reports that Palin and her family were not comprehensively vetted prior to her selection as running mate.

That's not me talking, folks, that's the editorial page of yesterday's Fairbanks Daily News-Miner. So, continuing the "all Palin" theme here, let's think about that.

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's an up-and-coming Republican leader who could've been an interesting presidential or vice presidential candidate in four or eight years. It is reckless insanity to believe she's ready to step in as commander-in-chief now, particularly to serve a 72-year-old president with health concerns after two bouts with skin cancer and five-and-a-half years' mistreatment as a prisoner of war.

So, I'm picking at my lunch today, CNN comes on: McCain makes his pick at long last.

So, why did I get the strange impression I'm watching Braves Baseball???

...and I can't stop laughing at this!

Remember the WTW story on how many corporations pay no taxes? Well, it sure isn't easy, but the Cato Institute's Chris Edwards found a way to make that sad story an aargument for lowering the corporate tax rate. And I assume he said this with a straight face: "By lowering the U.S. tax rate, you are giving companies less incentive to cheat and move their profits offshore."
