Oakland Mayor Jerry Brown has reversed the moratorium on DUI check by the Oakland Police Department. "The so-called moratorium is hereby terminated," Brown said Monday. "The whole thing was a dumb idea."

But you can go here, and search for old Kevin Michael Grace columns, not to mention Colby Cosh.
Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi has not only agreed to surrender his WMD, and generally behave, he’s agreed to cooperate with Italy in stopping illegals from Libya from invading Europe. This puts him one up on Vicente Fox.
