- All of us missed it, but back in the 80s James Dobson and his Focus on the Family group figured out how to “win” the war on pornography. If someone's looking for a birthday present for me—I'm a Virgo!—you could do worse than splurging for a VHS copy of the entire thing. http://www.amazon.com/Winnable-War-Fight-Against-Pornography/dp/B001DR1OW2- A federal judge ruled the “most extreme abortion ban” law in Arizona constitutional, meaning there's a big fear that “mothers of babies with fatal birth defects will be forced to carry their pregnancies to term, give birth, and then watch their babies die.” Fun times!
- Mitt Romney decided to stick his nose in the whole Israel/Palestine situation by basically saying, “Good job on making money, Israel! Those stupid Palestinians can't earn like you Jews!” Which, you know, didn't go over so well in Palestine.
- Don't worry, Texas Rangers fans. Josh Hamilton figured out why he's in such a slump: He was being naughty. “There's disobedience and there's obedience to God. I've been being disobedient.” Twenty bucks he was being disobedient by doing that whole spilling-his-seed-on-the-ground thing.

- A new constitution was passed in Somalia, and boy is it a mixed bag. On the one hand, it protects the right to an abortion if it saves the mother's life. On the other, it clearly states the only religion that can be propagated in the country is Islam, and all laws must be “approved” by Sharia Law. Also, right before the constitution was passed two suicide bombers tried to blow themselves up—“tried” because they were shot dead before they activated the bombs—outside of the meeting. - During a protest on July 22nd in Israel concerning their economic hardships, a 45-year-old wheelchair-bound military veteran poured gasoline on himself and set himself on fire. He finally died from his injuries last week. - In Afghanistan, five al Qaedas were killed in a gun battle, and 24 Taliban insurgents were axed in nebulous gun-happy “operations.”
