One of the useful idiots, aka human shields, who went to Iraq is now being fined "at least $10,000." Retired schoolteacher Faith Fippinger is, of course, refusing. In her response to the charges, she wrote the government that "if it comes to fines or imprisonment, "please be aware that I will not contribute money to […]
It can be interesting from time to time to see how people find this site. Thursday evening at 9:44 p.m. an AOL user from the Central time zone found this site by googling: "it was a hoax uday and qusay are still alive" Yes, all those words appear in my archives, they're just not very […]
Exhibit A: Cartoonist/Columnist Ted Rall. His latest "column" is entitled "Authoritarians Gone Wild." You can bet the video won't be nearly as entertaining as the other line of "Gone Wild" productions. He has canceled elections in Iraq. He will probably cancel them in Afghanistan. Will George W. Bush put the kibosh on elections in the […]
Princeton University professor Peter Singer, who is famous for suggesting that monkeys have more intrinsic value than humans with disabilities and children, has won an ethics award. Only in academia can a man whose views on the value of human life parallel that of the Nazis be lauded and showered with awards.

After presidential candidate Howard Dean spoke, Kennedy delivered an impassioned […]
A constant refrain from the left, ever since he announced his candidacy for president of the United States, has been that George W. Bush is stupid. No, not just stupid, but stoopid. So, in the effort to maintain balance, I'm going to highlight some of the statements by some of his Democratic Party opponents (especially […]
In a brief reference in this story about education in Turkmenistan, the Associated Press refers to the mythical trans-Afghan pipeline that, according to cartoonist and nut-job Ted Rall, was the reason for our invasion of Afghanistan. The trend worries diplomats and others. Turkmenistan — sitting amid Iran, Afghanistan, Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan — is in a […]
In a ruling that defies common sense -- and should surprise no one -- the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals (the most-overturned court in the nation) has ruled that a bank robber who had a gun stuck in the waistband of pants should not have been convicted of "armed robbery" because he "didn't mean to […]
If by "intellectual" you mean "useful idiot," then you're right. It seems as though some leading intellectuals, including Nobel laureate Gabriel Garcia Marquez, singer Harry Belafonte and actor Danny Glover have come out to support Cuban dictator Fidel Castro's crackdown on political dissent.
