The Recording Industry Association of America is going after people who have the gall to share digital copies of of yet-to-be-released songs leaked by the band Nine Inch Nails itself. This isn't news. What is news is how this was described on G4 TV earlier this evening while I was flipping channels: "The RIAA is […]

On Wednesday, President Bush made a recess appointment to make Sam Fox the U.S. ambassador to Belgium. Democrats had blocked Fox because he had the audacity to donate money to the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth. For those into media criticism, I encourage you to compare the aforelinked AP story to this story from ABC […]

The New Criterion's blog has an excellent little comparison of the private residences of two of America's most famous environmentalists. It's a little odd that one of these two individuals is practically worshiped by those who pray at the green shrine, while the other is vilified. However, when you realize environmentalism is (and always has […]

On Tuesday, President Bush held a press conference in which he took the Democrat Congress to task for its failure to pass a supplemental war funding bill without unconstitutional infringements on the commander-in-chief's power or political pork. Democrats, obviously, were unimpressed and urged Bush to sign the still unreconciled House-Senate bill anyway. This political kabuki […]

Someone please tell me that this is a belated April Fools joke. The government of Belgium's French-speaking region of Wallonia, which has a population of about 4 million, has approved a tax on barbequing, local media reported.

[In other words], what the Democrats are saying is let the wounded and military dependents suffer the consequences of the monetary shortage. Let problems like Walter […]

The silly liberals on the Supreme Court (and the whichever way the wind blows Anthony Kennedy), have ruled that carbon dioxide is a pollutant and the Environmental Protection Agency has to seriously consider regulating its production. This particular argument has been bugging me to no end. Carbon dioxide is not a pollutant. Heck, let's try […]

Great Britain is no longer a great power -- and it's not because of a lack of military might. A recent poll commissioned by the Daily Telegraph (U.K.) reveals that British public opinion is pretty cool with the capture of their sailors and Royal Marines by the Iranians. 7% favour preparing for miltiary action at […]

That was the title of a Monty Python skit that appeared on several of their albums. It consisted mainly of suggestive sounds and even the words "Wankel rotary engine." I apologize if I offended anyone by writing that. Well, it turns out that some members of the National Association of Black Journalists are too offended […]

Either that, or he's bucking for unemployment. If this report from Drudge is true, then any action by CNN short of firing reporter Michael Ware is not enough. During a live press conference in Bagdad, Senators McCain and Graham were heckled by CNN reporter Michael Ware. An official at the press conference called Ware’s conduct […]
