Tuesday digest

- A clear-eyed look at the wiretap ruling, here.

- Tory MP Jason Kenney has likened Hezbollah to the Nazis. I can't disagree, especially after reading first-hand accounts like this.

- As calls for racial profiling increase, it's instructive to look at pieces like this which describe the state of mind of Muslim-American youth. Their hearts and minds are a crucial battleground in the war against extremism.

- Interesting article here. If you're Hillary Clinton, why not let your buddy John McCain defeat the Angry Left nominee in '08, become the Democratic leader in the Senate and reclaim the party?

- I think both men are at fault in the Ted Lilly-John Gibbons dust-up last night, but more importantly, it's long past time to resurrect the term "ham n' egger" as this TSN.ca poster did when discussing the incident. A better insult, I cannot think of.

(For a few interpretations of the phrase "ham n' egger", see here, here, here, here and here. Apply as you see fit.)
