There's another case in the news about the federal government breaching that famed wall of separation between church and state. I caught this on the Associated Press wire. PITTSBURGH (AP) -- The nuns from the School Sisters of St. Francis may have taken a vow of poverty, but that doesn't mean they don't want their […]
The International Red Cross, the Europeans and many on the loony left in this country have been warning the U.S. government if we don't treat al Qaeda prisoners according to the Geneva Convention, then they won't accord our soldiers the convention's protections when they are captured. Let's just ignore the fact that no country who […]
With friends like these: Muslim countries want us to respect them. Well, they should try respecting other people too. The British newspaper The Guardian reports that Saudi Arabia's religion cops have arrested foreign Filipino workers for allegedly practicing Christianity in that country. The revelations come as five British men, detained in connection with anti-western terrorist […]
I always thought National Review Online editor Jonah Goldberg's jabs at Alec Baldwin were funny, but I never thought the cracks about Baldwin eating lead paint chips like a teenager eats Doritos were actually true. Baldwin was in Florida today whining about how the state's election reforms just weren't enough. Apparently Baldwin wants a perfect […]
Fox News' Bill O'Reilly had Adel al-Jubeir, foreign policy adviser to Saudi Arabia's Prince Abdullah, on his show last night. Some of his claims were just laughable on their face. O'Reilly challenged al-Jubeir on the Saudis refusal to let the United States use the air base in Saudi Arabia to launch strikes on Afghanistan. Al-Jubeir […]
Using the vast financial resources of hoystory.com, I was able to take a recent trip to Cuba and I was allowed to interview one of the al Qaeda prisoners at the Camp X-Ray. "What's your name?" I asked. "Abdul Abdullah, but you can call me by my legal name," he said. "What's that?" "Tom Jones." […]
The New York Times has a science article today on scientists and science fiction writers brainstorming on what it would take to send people to a planet orbiting one of the closer stars. In Dr. Moore's rendition, all recruits for an interstellar odyssey would be guaranteed the opportunity, though not the requirement, to marry and […]
Communism failed because government central planning doesn't work. After watching Senate majority leader Tom Daschle's performance on "Fox News Sunday," I'm glad that he has little say in the direction the U.S. economy takes. SNOW: Now, a couple of months ago, you gave an economic speech, and you talked about the president's tax plan. Let […]
Even after leaving office, the Clinton administration had a little trouble with Indian tribes. Back in 1999, Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt was the focus of an investigation on whether campaign contributions to the Democratic party had influenced an Interior Dept. decision to deny a tribe formal recognition. The "tribe" in question had been seeking to […]
