Russian-Chinese Exercises
An interesting development is taking place as Russia and China prepare for joint military exercises which are being called a "Rehearse Invasion of Taiwan."
According to reports, "The initial plans were to practice operational teamwork in combating terrorism during the exercise. However, Beijing, skillfully changing the format of the exercise, has tried to re-orient the two countries' armies to practicing an invasion of Taiwan."
Obviously, tensions are already high over the Chinese-Taiwanese relationship. Now with Russia entering the fray, it could get really ugly. Should the Baltic States be nervous, too?

Big Bush Blunder?
I am a big supporter of the President, though I've said all along that it doesn't mean I support everything he does. His immigration and border policies are case in point. Giving illegal aliens legal status is, in my opinion, a tremendous mistake as is leaving our borders so meagerly protected (not to take anything away from our Border Patrol...it simply appears they are terribly under-manned and ill-equipped to do the job as well as I'm sure they're capable). LaShawn Barber has a very interesting and scathing post regarding the current policies. Worth a read.
Baretta for hire
Recently acquitted actor Robert Blake has apparently began holding up the proverbial cardboard sign, "will work for food."
Eleventh-hour Efforts for Terri Schiavo
It's coming down to the last chance of intervention for Terri Schiavo, whose husband is fighting to have her feeding tube removed. Schiavo's parents have carried on a valiant fight to prevent this action. Andrew McCarthy has written a must-read article about the case for NRO.

Wittenberg Gate has a good summary of the most recent actions in the Florida case along with all the links. Also, check out ProLifeBlogs and, of course, BlogsforTerri as well as the Schindler family site, TerrisFight.org. Read the President's statement on the Terri Schiavo case here.
UPDATE: 7:46 AM - "The Chairman of the Health, Education, Labor, and Pension (HELP) Committee, Mike Enzi (R-Wyoming) has requested Terri Schiavo to testify before his congressional committee, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned. In so doing it triggers legal or statutory protections for the witness, among those protections is that nothing can be done to cause harm or death to this individual." (Drudge)
Christianity and Science
For those interested, Allthings2all has put together a "Science and Christianity Showcase," highlighting posts from various blogs on the subject. "Some of the contributors are scientists and some are Christians interested in the issue of science and the Christian faith."

Recently acquitted actor Robert Blake has apparently began holding up the proverbial cardboard sign, "will work for food."
Work wanted: 71-year-old actor recently acquitted of killing his wife seeks job in entertainment industry.My prediction: He may get a bit-part here or there (not that he was doing much before he ki...uh...was accused of killing his wife), but even as skewed as American values are, I don't foresee a warm, fuzzy hug in Blake's future.Moments after his trial ended, Robert Blake was making a pitch to Hollywood.
"I'm broke. I need a job," he told reporters Wednesday after the verdict.Industry types said Thursday the legal battle could revitalize the career of the tough-guy actor best known for starring in the 1970s detective drama "Baretta" with a cockatoo named Fred.
Pop psychologist Joyce Brothers called Blake a likable guy who should have no trouble getting work after being embraced by America.
