If any of our six readers don't already do so, go check out I Must Not Think Bad Thoughts. He pays attention to international news, and I don't. Great story up about the possible non-rescue of Jessica Lynch, another about North Korea and nukes, and a third about the EU, the UK, and the value of the $. He's a smart one and reads the things I don't read. 

[update] I am going to go out on a limb here. Bad Thoughts has a story up about how Britain will have to give up universal health care if it wants to fully join the EU, or risk breaking the EU's bank to pay for said care. I don't get it-- in the EU's charter, is there no provision for member states to allocate funds locally? I know that Europe has a mania for central control, but that is just bad policy if I understand correctly. Any input from people who actually know something about this??
