Developments from yesterday.

Charges against Kobe Bryant were dropped after the accuser refused to cooperate any longer. This case was riddled with inconsistencies from the start, not the least of which is the very idea that a girl who had just been raped would be in the mood to have sex with someone else before reporting the attack.

Her civil case will go forward, and if she wins that, she may well become the highest-paid whore in the history of whoredom. Maybe even higher-paid than Michael Jackson's first accuser.

Al-Qaeda-linked Islamic terrorists (though the media refuses to call them that) siezed a school full of hundreds of children and adults in Russia. They've released some, but hundreds remain.

My solution? Get a good idea of the identities of the terrorists, sieze their children and parents and enough relatives until you have TWICE the number of hostages than the terrorists do. Send the terrorists a message that says "If your hostages die, OUR hostages die." Then break off communications.

Or, do like you did when they held a theater full of people hostage. Tunnel under the school, pump knock-out gas into it, then storm the building.

Zell Miller ripped Kerry a new one in his convention speech last night.

Predictably, before he even finished, the networks were already telling us what the reaction from America was. And, predictably, they were wrong.

The Passion of The Christ sold 4.1 million copies on the first day of it's DVD release. I wonder how Farenheit 9/11 will stack up to that.

Meanwhile in North Dakota, a day before the filing deadline, Michael Badnarik is the only candidate to be on the Presidential Ballot. Maybe the paperwork from the Anticapitalist and Theocrat Parties will get lost, and they won't make it.
