Hamid Karzai recently said the U.S. was colluding with the Taliban in order to keep U.S. troops in Afghanistan. He is trying to have it both ways. He wants our help, but also wants credit for being the hero that got rid of the American occupation.
Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen Kane, has decided to indict eight individuals associated with the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission. The environment of patronage and corruption has allegedly been going on for quite some time. Hopefully, the guilty parties won't get an E-Zpass.

Mayor Bloomberg of New York tried to ban jumbo-sized soft drinks because they are bad for you. He clearly doesn't realize that true freedom means eating whatever unhealthy junk you want to eat. Unfortunately for Bloomberg, the New York Supreme Court blocked the ban saying the city health board doesn't have the authority. This is probably the right ruling. Look, I am all for healthy eating, but I think a tax on sodas or warning labels (like alcohol or tobacco) would be a better strategy than an arbitrary cup-size ban.
