Former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic was found dead in his cell earlier today. Good riddance to bad rubbish. The point I wanted to make in regard to this was how the international "justice" system works -- or rather, how it doesn't. Slobodan Milosevic has been on trial since February 2002, defending himself against 66 counts […]
London's Independent newspaper has an article online detailing the 20 most influential inventions/discoveries courtesy of the Muslim world. Click the link and take a look, but also notice the dates of the discoveries -- the most recent ones are in the 1700s. That shows you that there is a serious problem in Muslim society, and […]
A men's rights group has filed a lawsuit in federal court to exempt a father from having to make child-support payments for a kid he doesn't want. Personally, I find the idea that a man can just abandon his kid distasteful and outrageous, but this is what the feminist movement has brought us to, because […]
Scientists at Sandia National Laboratories have created plasma that exceeds 2 billion degrees Kelvin -- that's hotter than the center of the Sun, which is only 15 million degrees Kelvin. The best part? They don't know why it happened. The article says they don't know how they did it, but they know exactly how, because […]

In the wake of most Western media outlets cowardice in refusing to publish the infamous Mohammed, students at the University of Saskatchewan have followed in professional media's footsteps by refusing to publish the Mohammed cartoons, but showing far less concern that they might offend Christians. A newspaper cartoon targeting religion has once again sprung into […]
It looks like the California Supreme Court uses the Bill Clinton-approved definition of sex -- that is, oral sex isn't. SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - A 22-year-old Californian man who received oral sex from a sixteen-year-old girl should not be forced to register for life as a sex offender, the California Supreme Court ruled on Monday.

There's an old journalistic axiom that dog-bites-man isn't news, but man-bites-dog is news. Why? Because it's the unexpected, that people want to know about. Associated Press business reporter Sandy Shore, and every editor above her, have forgotten this basic tenet. Sidelined in the merger game since its failed bid for MCI Inc., Qwest Communications could […]
I've said before that I didn't watch the Oscars Sunday night. I didn't even know which had won Best Picture until Monday afternoon. However, after checking out a list of the winners, I thought a little history might be in order. 1989 (62nd) MUSIC (Original Song) * "Under the Sea" from The Little Mermaid -- […]
Needless to say that I didn't get up early this morning to watch NBC's "Today" show with Colorado teacher Jay Bennish (transcript here). However, I am somewhat sympathetic to this analysis of host Matt Lauer's questioning of Bennish.
