- This Afghan woman must be the magazine's target demographic
>> Congressional leaders have agreed to pass another short-term budget bill funding the government for three weeks while slashing $6 billion from the budget. This is like that "Twilight Zone" episode where we temporarily prevent government shutdown every few weeks forever. (CNN)
>> Education Secretary Arne Duncan said that if No Child Left Behind isn't reformed, four out of five schools won't meet its standards. That's why President Obama is in Arlington, Va., today talking about education. The Obama administration has invested $350 million in better tests, supported a reward system for successful schools, and developed a well-rounded curriculum instead of only math-based lessons. Still, Sarah Palin can't read. (USA Today)
>> Plain-clothes police in Yemen fired live ammunition and tear gas at protesters in Change Square yesterday, injuring at least ten people, after security set up a roadblock keeping protesters from the square. Is this President Saleh's idea of a "peaceful transition?" (CNN)
>> And finally: Al Qaeda launched the English-language magazine Inspire last year to attract Muslims in the West. Now the terrorist group is eying self-conscious females with the women's style magazine Al-Shamikha, which translates to "the majestic woman." There's a cover photo of a woman in a niqab with a submachine gun, articles about waging electronic warfare and advice on how to marry a "mujahideen." But doesn't al-Qaeda know the publishing industry is dying? (the Independent)
