Ships from Miami steam into Jamaica's main harbor loaded with TV sets and blue jeans. But some of the most popular U.S. imports never appear on the manifests: handguns, rifles and bullets that stoke one of the world's highest murder rates.

The Froomkin firing
by Paul Krugman
....Here’s how I see things: many people in the news media, especially at the managerial level, decided a long time ago that movement conservatism was The Future — and that the sensible thing, whether or not you yourself were a conservative, was to go with the wave. That meant treating right-wing politicians and media figures with great respect, while ridiculing the opposition

Bachmann Boasts About Breaking The Law: I’m Refusing To Fill Out The Census
Next year, the 2010 Census will be sent to every American household, as required
by the U.S. Constitution.
The far
right has issued dire warnings of the Census; on a May 29th episode of Bill
Bennett’s radio show, RNC Chairman Michael Steele intoned, “Certainly the
collection of this information is going to be part of an ongoing political
campaign by this administration.”

Being Sarah Palin
Alaska Gov.
Sarah Palin says her political enemies are abusing state law with a flurry of
frivolous ethics complaints against her,
putting her more than $500,000 in legal debt.
Those filing the grievances — there have been at least 18 cases so far — say
it's their legal right to hold the Republican governor accountable for what they
see as abuses of power.

Ground the Airbus?
by William John Cox
Since entering
service in 1974 with many technological innovations, such as computerized
fly-by-wire control systems, user-friendly cockpits, and extended use of
composite materials, 5,717 aircraft have been manufactured by Airbus, an
European aerospace company. More than 5,100 Airbuses remain in service.
Not including losses attributable to terrorism, rebellion or military action,
Airbuses have been involved in 23 fatal crashes causing the deaths of 2,584
passengers, crew members and people on the ground. In addition, there have been
five nonfatal accidents causing 21 serious injuries.
While the overall number of accidents and fatalities are not disproportionate to
the crash experience of Boeing aircraft, three of the Airbus crashes involved a
separation of the composite vertical stabilizer (tail fin) from the fuselage.
Five hundred, or one in five of the Airbus deaths, including 228 from Air France
Flight 447, resulted from these three crashes.
In addition, Airbus composite stabilizers, rudders and couplers have also been
involved in a number of other emergency in-flight incidents that did not lead to
crashes, injuries or deaths.
There is now a question whether all Airbus aircraft equipped with composite
stabilizers and rudders
should be
grounded until the cause of the crash of Flight 447 can be identified and it
can be determined if the aircraft can be inspected, safely repaired, and
returned to service.

An albino
baby turtle swims with green sea babies turtle in a pond at Khram island, about
30 km from Pattaya, east of Bangkok June 17, 2009. Special care is given to
around 15,000 green and hawksbill baby turtles hatched and housed at the navy's
conservation center each year. Once the baby turtles' shells are big and strong
enough to protect them from various predators at about six-months-old the young
turtles are released to the sea.
