A Good Day.
I can't remember a week with more good news on such a wide variety of fronts.
In no particular order:
1. Osama's #3 captured.
2. New oil in Utah.
3. Blair re-elected.
4. Federal forestry regulations open up more logging.
5. Fed budget shows surplus for quarter; one economist thinks we've turned the corner from deficits.
6. Volcker exposed as Kofi's good buddy; one of Volcker's deputies quits, blows whistle to Congress.
7. Little bomb in NYC, apparently planted by member of UN's WMD analysis staff. (Obviously this isn't good news for those who were scared by it, but it belongs in the long-term good column because it leaves no excuse for
anyone to deny that the UN is an enemy of civilization.)
