In the midst of all the other excitement going on these days (especially the demise of Osama bin Laden, which cheers 9/11 victims but doesn't get us any closer to the end of the war on Islamic careerism) we have some voting in the UK to consider. Topping the list is the change in the …

Meet the Press host David Gregory lays it out for Palm Beachers at the Colony: The United Nations-sanctioned military action against Libya is dangerous because no one knows what will happen there if the rebels gain the upper hand, television journalist David Gregory told a Palm Beach audience on Monday.
