Just thought I'd pass along this website. Some of my readers may find it quite useful. Thanks, FBI.

What kind of a Republican favors increased government regulation?

The answer, apparently, is a Republican who had a bad brush with the insurance industry:

Mr. Lott, a Republican and former majority leader, is one of thousands of homeowners on the Gulf Coast who have been fighting with their insurers over payments for damage in Hurricane Katrina...Mr. Lott’s claim for the loss of his $400,000 house in Pascagoula was rejected by State Farm.

Mr. Lott said he was...planning to introduce legislation requiring the insurers to include in their policies a prominent listing in plain English of what they refuse to cover. He said home insurance policies contained “a bunch of subterfuges” difficult for laymen or lawyers to comprehend.

I'm very sympathetic to libertarian views skeptical of goverment intervention, but this last part sounds to me like an excellent idea.

From Nuclear test sparks fear in Canada's Korean community in the CBC:

Youngkyu Ko, who was sipping coffee with a friend in the downtown Toronto neighbourhood known as Little Korea, said he became concerned after Pyongyang announced its plans — and then claimed to have carried out early Sunday.

"Oh, that was horrible," he said. "That was not very nice."

Not very nice indeed. Sounds like this guy has assimilated into Candian society pretty well.
