The Good

• Trailer for “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince”... - Woot! Very much not for kidlings any more, but very appropriately spooky.
• Save lots with truly generic pills - Not sure about ordering pills via Amazon, but it's an interesting idea.
• The wife - Yeah, this sounds kind of familiar. :-)
• Iomega StorCenter 1TB Wireless NAS Hard Drive for... - Wow. Just ... wow. Might need to look into this ...
• Doctor Who: David Tennant's 10th Doctor Returns to... - Doctor Who DVDs for the current series! Woot! (May contain spoilers for folks who are, ahem, behind in watching their Who stuff).

The Bad

• To destroy Al Qaeda, we must end the war on terror:... - Statistical studies like this can never take into account the nuances of a given situation, and police and political engagement work best where there's a good framework already in place for them. But this RAND study is worth pondering.
• Auto Insurance - To be fair, the insurance person on the phone was probably in India.

The Ugly

• The troops on the ground - Next time some pundit jumps all over some politician saying the most slightly critical thing about our armed forces -- remember how those same armed forces sometimes bring a whole hell of a lot more dishonor (as people, and as an institution) upon themselves. And that, in turn, is a much bigger slap in the face to the individual grunts who are risking their lives out there.
