Some cowardly jerks in Orcas Island, Wash., probably inspired by that hateful right-wing talk radio, torched flags decorating the graves of our nation's veterans and replaced them with hand-drawn swastikas.

It appears some Texas students are angry that the local school board isn't allowing them to walk at graduation because they failed the state's TAKS test. The goal of the test is to make sure the kids have some basic skills in reading, writing and arithmetic. The students validated the school board's decision when one […]
Might I suggest that when flying in Europe, especially easyJet, RyanAir and British Air, that you check the fine print. A few weeks ago, I decided to check out European low cost carrier easyJet, and made a booking with one of my staffers to fly from Luton airport outside of London to Paris. The fares […]
Looney Tune Santa Barbara News-Press newspaper owner Wendy McCaw has issued a "clarification" on the story which ran last month not-so-subtly linking former editor Jerry Roberts to child porn. Of course, the News-Press' utter stupidity when it comes to the Internet only allows you to see "On April 22, 2007," when you visit their Web […]

Everybody is making fun of Paris Hilton for not wanting to go to […]
I'm not trained in psychiatry, but it really doesn't take much more than common sense to diagnose extreme cases of Bush Derangement Syndrome. Today's case (via Newsbusters) comes to us from the Indiana University School of Dentistry. When university officials discovered nearly half of the school's 95 students were either involved with the hacking of […]
I must admit to feeling quite a bit of schadenfraude at the news last week that Paris Hilton, most famous for merely being famous, was sentenced to 45 days in jail for driving on a suspended license. The judge prohibited any alternative sentencing -- like house arrest. This caused both Paris and her mother to […]
The House of Representatives is debating a bill that would offer compensation to residents of Guam for the Japanese occupation of World War II. Let me make this clear: the United States House of Representatives is considering whether or not to pay Guamanians for what the Japanese did to them during World War II. What's […]
There is good news for those of you following the silliness that was a middle-schooler's idiotic move to toss a ham steak in the middle of a table of Somali students. The authorities have decided not to press hate crimes charges. And it only took two weeks to come to their senses -- that's above […]
