The guys over at brain-terminal.com have up their latest video from last weekend's San Francisco protest. It's not as comic as the last one, but the wacko guy who tries to explain the interplanetary and interdimensional evils done by President Bush is kinda amusing -- if it wasn't so sad.
Is scheduled to appear on "The O'Reilly Factor" tonight. Let's hope that Bill confronts him with this little tidbit from today's Wall Street Journal. Actor Mike Farrell, best known for his role as Trapper John's replacement in "M*A*S*H," has emerged as a leading antiwar activist. This month, he even engaged in a surreal debate on […]
A little jewel from his latest: The "human shields" are leaving Iraq, disenchanted after discovering that their Iraqi "co-ordinators" wanted to deploy them not at "humanitarian" facilities but at military bases. One fellow said he was used to working with young children and would have preferred to be deployed at an orphanage. Pity the poor […]
I just caught a couple of minutes of something that appeared to be a debate between some enlightened British intellectuals on C-SPAN. I turned the channel after one of the "anti-" America speakers rattled off a list of countries we've sent troops to (or, in one case, bombed) in the past decade or so. His […]
I don't always agree with the guy, but I think he's doing a pretty good job. He's got Gore Vidal on right now. Vidal, if you didn't think he was before, is officially a nut. In less than 10 minutes into the interview (Colmes is doing an admirable job -- not great -- but not […]
Well, it's not being portrayed as a Zionist plot -- yet -- but Iraqis see yesterday's destruction of the space shuttle Columbia as the act of a vengeful God. "We are happy that it broke up," government employee Abdul Jabbar al-Quraishi said. "God wants to show that his might is greater than the Americans. They […]
A friend suggested to me that former South African President Nelson Mandela has been smoking crack? Why? Apparently my friend saw some recent quotes from an address to the International Women's Forum. Mandela suggested that freeing the people of Iraq from a similar oppression that blacks in an apartheid-ruled South Africa faced is tantamount to […]
...than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt. Actress Susan Sarandon has a commercial out opposing the war with Iraq. Now, there are some reasonable and principled arguments to oppose a war, but it wasn't too long ago that liberals disliked tyrants. Certainly Slobodan Milosevic and his attempted ethnic-cleansing of Muslims in Albania qualified. […]
The San Diego Union-Tribune last week ran an article entitled "Some see widespread liberal bias at colleges." Surprised? I didn't think so. The article isn't really anything that people who read National Review or The Weekly Standard or heck -- went to college -- didn't know before. What is surprising is some of the letters […]
Sometimes I miss good, old Jeffrey Hauser. Longtime readers of this blog will remember Hauser as a stalwart apologist/defender of New York Times columnist Paul Krugman who regularly posted his views in the comments link -- usually attached to the appropriate item. (A time or two a particular piece apparently got him in such a […]
