> After doing absolutely nothing, the Bush administration has decided to have a Mideast conference. What a bunch of baloney! The Bush administration's obsession with Iraq has let other countries and regions go unnoticed for seven years. Now George decides it is time to do something. It might be too little too late.

> Buckeye football fans will remember Sean Taylor from the Ohio State-Miami game. Here is an article about how Sean Taylor met Maurice Clarett (Link).

> The One Laptop Per Child program has been extended. The BBC has a slide show on how the green laptops are being used in Nigeria.

> Al Gore made it to the Oval Office, but it was not as the President. President Bush invited all the U.S. Nobel Prize winner to the Oval Office and this included Al Gore. Seeing non-winner Bush with these Nobel Prize recipients reminded me of the Sesame Street Song....."One of these things is not like the other, one of these things doesn't belong....."

> In an effort to make sure that the next President of the United States has to deal with Bush's Iraq quagmire, President Bush signed an agreement to keep permanent bases in Iraq forever. How nice. Raw Story has the news.
