* Health costs of obesity nearing that of smoking.
* Remind me again how much Microsoft has changed?
* Hey Iraq, if you don't want to get discouraged, don't look at Afghanistan.

* And whoah, we're authorizing our occupying troops to shoot looters on sight?
* Things that make me want to go stand in front of a bulldozer: Israel kills three Palestinian police in a raid on Gaza, then five more Palestinians during a march the next day.
* France calls US on 'unnamed administration sources,' one of the Bush administration's favorite tactics.
* While it's no surprise that GOP senators are selling influence, I still don't like reading it.

* Speaking of unemployment, we're in one of the worst hiring slumps in 20 years.
