- State to allow patients to grow own pot
  Posted by Damianmann from kob.com
  Starting Sunday medical marijuana will be legal in New Mexico. But now the Department of Health has dropped a bombshell: It will allow people who qualify for medicinal pot to grow it in their own homes. It’s a decision that has made a lot of state law enforcement officials upset.

- Neighborhood Bully: America's dismal Global Image
  Posted by ptristam from Pierre Tristam
  The Pew Global Attitudes Project has just released its most extensive survey of world opinion since 2002 — 45,000 people in 47 nations. The results are a dismal vote against Bush’s America. Not to mention a disturbing, contrasting confidence vote in Vladimir Putin. At least the world still loves Bruce Willis and dumb American reality shows.

- “Enemy Combatant” Designation Ruled Bogus
  Posted by ptristam from Pierre Tristam
  It’s a wonder it took that long — five years for a U.S. federal court finally to declare the designation of “enemy combatant,” at least when it’s slapped on lawful residents of the United States, null and void. If the government wants to hold terrorists in the United States, it must charge them with a crime—or release them, as it will have to do with Ali Saleh Kahlah al-Marri.

- Say on pay debate
  Posted by SoxFirst
  Plenty of warnings from the doomsayers about the House passing legislation that gives shareholders a non-binding say on executive compensation. But in other countries where it’s been introduced, it’s strengthened pay for performance linkages, improved board accountability and put directors on notice.
