I have been seeing a lot of articles lately about a new federally mandated National ID. Mandated under the Real ID Act this card will be required to get SSI payments, open a bank account or even drive.
Some say it will help with illegal immigration while others say it will increase your chance of identity theft, and invade your privacy.
Some states such as NJ are for it, while others such as California are reported to be against the card.
Here is a link to a site set up by the ACLU.

If Ya Talk The Talk Then Walk The Walk.
Perhaps Australia should have more than 1400 troops in Iraq then?
Howard Slams Obama on Iraq War
"Howard, a staunch supporter and personal friend of Bush, has defied widespread domestic opposition to the war, keeping about 1,400 Australian troops in and around Iraq, mostly in non-combat roles."
"The United States has sacrificed more than 3,000 brave young men and women and $400 billion, only to find ourselves mired in the middle of a sectarian civil war," he said. "Even Republicans ... know that more of the same is only going to attract more terrorists to Iraq and make our country less safe."
Gibbs went on to say that Howard was not in a position to be overly critical.
"If Prime Minister Howard truly believes what he says, perhaps his country should find its way to contribute more than just 1,400 troops so some American troops can come home," he said. "It's easy to talk tough when it's not your country or your troops making the sacrifices."

Look Out For the Dark Red-Orange Stain
Just an article I found regarding the usage of hotel coffeepots to brew meth....who knew?
"Instead of brewing coffee, coffee pots are sometimes used to brew methamphetamine.
And since meth labs in hotels aren't anything new, Rick Phillips of the Marshall County Drug Enforcement Unit says there's definitely a risk"
