...radical Islam sweeping across continents and cities throughout the world, using terrorist means to bring down democracy, kill the infidels, and raise the crescent banner over the rooftops of the world. Lashkar-e-Taiba is indeed an Islamic terror group, and may even form part of a larger network of groups located in the NWFP and along the border with Afghanistan...
...happiness. Happiness is not an individual but a collective phenomenon, according to a new study released online Thursday in the British Medical Journal.

Bush was eventually decided by the Supreme Court, which voted 5-4 to suspend recount activity, a decision that ultimately awarded the state and its Electoral College votes to our 43rd President. There were machine counting, hand counting, ballot inspections, dispute over absentee votes, a powerful Florida secretary of state named Katherine Harris and enough hand-wringing that the transition between Bill Clinton and Bush was delayed by six weeks...
