It's predictable, but the media is now reporting that the Virginia Tech mass murderer was picked on in school. Long before he boiled over, Virginia Tech gunman Cho Seung-Hui was pushed around and laughed at as a schoolboy in suburban Washington because of his shyness and the strange, mumbly way he talked, former classmates say. […]
There shouldn't have been any doubt about where the major media is camped on the abortion issue, but for doubters Brent Baker over at Newsbusters has transcripts of the NBC and ABC reports on the Supreme Court's ruling upholding the ban on partial-birth abortion. Remember that a solid majority of the American public favors a […]
John Edwards will not be the Democrat nominee for president in 2008. He won't occupy the No. 2 spot on the ticket again either. What prompts me to come to this conclusion? A guy who is constantly railing about inequality and "two Americas" everytime a camera approaches -- even if he is a wealthy individual […]
In the mid-1990s, Democrat Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan said this about partial-birth abortion: "I think this is just too close to infanticide. A child has been born and it has exited the uterus. What on Earth is this procedure?" Yesterday, the Supreme Court finally upheld a ban on this gruesom procedure. Democrat presidential hopefuls decried […]
The Religion of Pieces has struck again, this time in Turkey.

The judges had the following little bit to say about Tucker's columns: Awarded to Cynthia Tucker of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution for her courageous, clear-headed columns that evince a strong sense of morality and persuasive knowledge of the community. OK, let's […]
Following on last week's questionable call by the National Association of Black Journalists to insert itself into the Don Imus controversy, the Asian American Journalists Association decides to make jerks of themselves. As coverage of the Virginia Tech shooting continues to unfold, AAJA urges all media to avoid using racial identifiers unless there is a […]
Police have identified the gunman who murdered 32 of his fellow students as 23-year-old Cho Seung Hui, a legal alien immigrant from South Korea. Police also report that Cho apparently legally purchased one of the firearms used in the shooting last month. That is a loophole that needs to be closed. There's going to be […]
Former President Bill Clinton has opened his mouth again and re-emphasizes that he wasted a chance at peace in the Middle East so that he could be serviced by an intern. A peace agreement between Israel and Syria could be reached within 35 minutes, former U.S. president Bill Clinton told the Lebanon-based Asharq Al-Awsat newspaper […]
Thirty-two people and one evil, deranged psychopath lost their lives today at Virginia Tech. Dozens more were wounded. The death toll could still climb further. The families of the dead, wounded and others affected by this horror are in our prayers tonight. Some late reports say that the shooter was from China; here on a […]
