The Saddam Hussein Fan Club: We’ve got our first foreign advertiser! Hooray! Sure it’s a Saddam Hussein fan club but I think people need to be open minded about these sorts of things. Read the article, give Saddam another chance, and I think you’ll come to understand that he’s not such a bad guy after […]

Civilian Casualties In Afghanistan: There is an almost stunning lack of perspective in yesterday’s headlining NYT article, “Flaws in U.S. Air War Left Hundreds of Civilians Dead.” “KABUL, Afghanistan ( news – web sites) The American air campaign in Afghanistan, based on a high-tech, out-of-harm’s way strategy, has produced a pattern of mistakes that has […]

What Sort Of Goof Thinks This Is A War For Oil?: Ken Silverstein from the left-wing American Prospect absolutely destroys the “war for oil” claims the fringe left has been making about the ‘War on Terrorism’. No, “destroys” is not a strong enough word. Perhaps “mangles”, “crushes”, “obliterates”, or even “annihilates” would be more appropriate. […]

Superman: The Ultimate Conservative Superhero: I always thought of Superman as the perfect example of a Conservative superhero. He’s for truth, justice, and the American way and he gets things done. He doesn’t ask for a government grant make things happen, he’s doesn’t say that you should sit around and wait for the government to […]

I ran across this cartoon on Curmudgeonly & Skeptical and I thought it was hilarious enough to merit a post…

We ALL know here that ISRAELI ZIONISTS jews RULE America: I occasionally like to head over to the Pravda Forums to see what our comrades from Russia are up too.

Let’s Put The Blame Where It Belongs: Israel has a controversial new policy (that I agree with by the way)… “Opening the door to a tough new policy, Israel’s attorney general determined Friday that relatives of West Bank suicide bombers can be expelled to the Gaza Strip if they encouraged or were linked to terror […]

Go Gorebot Go!: This may be good news for George Bush in 2004… “In a field that included Gore and Joseph I. Lieberman, the former vice president was the choice of 46 percent of all self-described Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents. Lieberman received 10 percent in that hypothetical matchup, followed by Senate Majority Leader Thomas A. […]

Lying About The War: Here are just some of the lies the anti-war left has been telling about the war and what the real story is… This entire war is about oil: Just because the Gulf War was about oil doesn’t mean EVERY war is about oil. WW1 and WW2 certainly weren’t about oil. Neither […]

In The Interest Of Fairness: I don’t like the fanatical & backwards thugs who run Iran. They’re brutally oppressing their own people, supporting terrorism, and need to be replaced by any means necessary. But in the interest of fairness, I do have to say that I approve of this… “An Iranian man, convicted for raping […]

The Hypocrisy and Ineffectiveness Of The CEO Price Cap: I was reading a Howard Kurtz column about how newspapers don’t practice what they preach in regard to accounting practices and one snippet from the article reminded me of a subject I wanted to explore more fully on the page… “The Chicago Tribune said in a […]

French Army to Market ‘Ultimate Surrender’ Video Game: I don’t know why I didn’t think of this. Could there be any game out there that says “FRANCE” like “Ultimate Surrender?”

You Are Now Wise In The Ways Of The Blogosphere: I am continually amazed at how writers in the blogosphere are rewarded for well..how shall I put this..being complete tools.

Now you may wonder, “what´s so amazing about that?” Well consider how incredible this service is when viewed through the lens of how much of the world […]

A Few Things: I’ve tried a lot of several different comment programs so far but none have gotten the job done. Every one I’ve tried is either too slow, has no administrative control at all, or I can’t get it to work. I am toying with the idea of switching to Movable type since it […]

Operation Tips?: People are going absolutely nuts over this program… “THE JUSTICE Department is not saying much about the Terrorism Information and Prevention System — otherwise known as Operation TIPS — which is due to begin as a pilot program later this summer. Apparently the only public information about the program, in fact, is on […]

It’s Almost Iraqi Time: There are a lot of different opinions floating around about when and even if we’re going to hit Iraq.

Dahmer’s Ukrainian Cousins: This is one of the more bizarre stories I’ve seen lately… “Ukraine’s police have arrested three men and a woman on suspicion of murdering five people and then eating their flesh. “During the last case they killed a young woman in a forest and then cut out fleshy parts of the body […]

John Hawkins, Political Gun For Hire #2: The Republican National Committee needs to go on the offense on these business scandals instead of letting the Democrats control the tempo. Something like this would be good… (Scene 1: Commercial stars with old man who looks like typical grandfather sitting in a chair with his head in […]

If Only Animals Could Talk!: In the Aquaman section of his “Super Friends” page Seanbaby sums up about what I think of the intelligence of animals… “Our genius scientists taught that gorilla sign language, and do you know what we learned? “Banana is pretty!

Here’s An Example For You: I’ve never liked whiners and complainers who want to tell you how tough they’ve had it and why it’s not their fault that they failed. Your life is your responsibility and if you make a mess out of it the only person responsible is the person you look at when […]
