...there is new and powerful evidence in Tiktaalik for the steps that backboned animals took to crawl out of the sea in the first place. Many who reject evolution in favor of divine creation claim that the fossil record doesn't contain the so-called transitional species anticipated by Darwin's theory. This ancient, walking fish is yet more evidence that such an argument is simply wrong; all sorts of missing links preserved in exquisite detail have been and will be discovered...
...Bush encounter is prime-time world politics. It is a meeting between the No. 1 and the would-be No. 2. While smiling into the cameras, Bush and Hu will continue to play for the highest stakes: a global order for our century that will both contain and accommodate the restless Chinese giant. Bush will have read the intelligence assessments of China's soaring defense outlays; from the newspapers, he already knows that the U.S. trade deficit with China has shot up to $200 billion. Hu will arrive well briefed on the subtle strategic game the U.S. is playing against...

(Why, that's un-American.) The Broadway side is taken by the mandatory snooty blond, Sharpay (Ashleey Tisdale), who calls the Garofalesque composer of the show...
...that the war in Iraq has gone awry, Sullivan is wrong again about the war. The U.S. did not go to war against Saddam Hussein because Iraqis were starving and there was corruption in the U.N. oil-for-food program. The U.S. went to war in Iraq ostensibly to contain Islamic terrorism. But the allegation that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction was just an excuse to invade, and Iraq was not a base for Islamic terrorists. By ousting Saddam, the U.S. gave jihadists another base. The attack on the Taliban in Afghanistan was the right...
...Blackbird's full talents won't be realized until June, when a major software update will be released. Customers who buy the Blackbird now will be able to download the software for free. Not only will it contain the latest map of the U.S.; it will also activate the real-time traffic receiver built into the product. (Navteq currently tracks traffic in 31 cities, and will most likely charge $60 per year for the service...
