Real-audio footage of Bush getting his hair fixed ..
The British Broadcasting Corporation has apologized to the White House for its broadcast Wednesday night of a live Oval Office feed showing President George W. Bush preparing for his speech announcing the start of the Iraqi war. Administration officials are apparently steamed because Bush was seen having his hair primped and readied by a female stylist armed with a comb and hairspray. Below you'll find a screen grab from the BBC feed as well as a 10-second snippet from the unauthorized TV transmission.

Karlsruhe stellt NPD-Verbotsverfahren ein
Die NPD wird nicht verboten. Das Bundesverfassungsgericht stellte das Verfahren ein - es gebe zu viele V-Männer in der Parteispitze. Die zahlreichen V-Männer des Verfassungsschutzes in den Führungsgremien der Partei bilden nach Ansicht von drei Karlsruher Verfassungsrichtern ein Verfahrenshindernis. Damit fehlte es an der erforderlichen Zwei-Drittel-Mehrheit der insgesamt sieben beteiligten Richter, das Verbotsverfahren durchzuführen. Vier Verfassungsrichter bejahten dagegen eine Weiterführung des Verbotsverfahrens. Auch wenn während eines Verbotsverfahrens der Verfassungsschutz Verbindungsleute im Parteivorstand habe, stelle das nicht in jedem Fall ein Verfahrenshindernis dar, argumentierten sie.

Who would make a better president Bush or a box of Tic-Tacs?
An objective analysis. It seems that I offended a few people with my page on Bush. So I've decided to do what I always do when I offend people: I offend them more.

How did the Gulf crisis come to this?
How did it come to this, and so quickly? History can be a rollercoaster ride. But for all the markers along the way, it is still hard to understand how in 18 short months the ride has led from Osama bin Laden to Iraqi President Saddam Hussein; from a nightmarish day of terrorist attacks in the United States to an unprovoked war against a country that had nothing to do with those attacks.
