Fighting To Live As The Towers Died:The NYT did an article on people’s last calls in emails as they were trapped in the WTC on 9/11. Here are a couple that stuck with me… “Mom,” asked Jeffrey Nussbaum. “What was that explosion?” Twenty miles away in Oceanside, N.Y., Arline Nussbaum could see on television what […]

Who Knew? Yesterday was the first time I noticed that Newsmax actually catalogues and posts a nightly list of Late Night Jokes from Leno, Letterman, Conan and Kilborn. That’s a pretty neat feature although I’m a little surprised that Newsmax is publishing it since it doesn’t really jive with anything else on their page.

The Catholic Church Is Complaining About Bad Press?: According to a Vatican-sanctioned journal the Catholic Church is being victimized by anti-Catholic bias. Read about how they describe the media coverage of the Catholic Church’s child molestation scandal… For many newspapers and television stations, maybe it seemed too good to be true to be able to […]

Ranking The Political Bloggers: Do you like Right Wing News? Do you want to find some other great political “blogs” just like this one? Well today is your lucky day because I ranked the top political “bloggers” out there. Read and enjoy.

Another Terrorist Goes ‘Boom’: Now this is what I call brilliant, out of the box thinking. The CIA could take a lesson from the Mossad on this one… “Palestinian militants are distributing leaflets with step-by-step recipes for homemade explosives — but some flyers may be Israeli fakes meant to trick would-be terrorists into blowing themselves […]

The Incompetent INS: This is outrageous for so many reasons…. Frustrated cops in New York had to free a suspicious gang of illegal Mideast aliens because the INS “didn’t want to be bothered” on the Memorial Day weekend, The Post has learned. …The INS didn’t seem to have anybody on duty in the city. The […]

Anybody Can Post On The Internet?: Our latest installment of A.C.P.O.T.I. comes from the “Youth of Islam” forum. If you want to look for militant Islamic wackos who are likely candidates to blow themselves up in a shopping mall to show their devotion to Allah, this board appears to be as good a place to […]

Perceptions Can Be More Dangerous Than Reality: A mere eight months after the worst terrorist attack in the history of the world, we’re largely back to “business as usual” in America. Both political parties are shoveling out pork like it was kryptonite to terrorists while urgent security concerns are being largely ignored. As far as […]

Joke ‘O’ The Day: A suave diplomat from Zaire was talking to a prim and proper Washington hostess. “In my country,” he said, “the most popular of all activities is making love.” Shocked, the wide-eyed hostess said, “Oh! Isn’t that revolting!” “No,” the diplomat said. “That’s our second-favorite activity.”

Is Bush Wavering On Iraq?: There is certainly a perception out there that GWB may be wavering on Iraq. He said in Germany that he has “no war plans on his desk” and there was a story leaked that said the military doesn’t want to hit Iraq at all. I don’t buy that for a […]

All The Onion You Can Stand: The Onion outdid themselves this time and released some funny stuff in there current issue including… Congress Threatens To Leave DC Unless New Capital Is Built Sexual Tension Between Arafat, Sharon Reaches Breaking Point Look Out, Corporate America, Here Comes My Pirate Radio Station What Do You Think? Suicide […]

Internationalism? No Thanks: Now that I’ve pummeled isolationism, I want to give it’s evil twin internationalism a thrashing as well. I consider Kofi Annan to be a useful idiot in charge of a hapless bureaucracy. As far as I’m concerned, the UN exists to handle peace keeping missions we don’t want to do and to […]

Isolationism: Why Not?: I think Pat Buchanan has an interesting perspective on things but he also tends to be wrong on a lot of big issues. Here are some quotes from his latest column which promotes isolationism… “Well that is no longer enough. Before, not after, the next terror attack on this country, America’s leaders […]

An Interview With Walter Olson: I was pleased to get an opportunity to interview Walter Olson of Overlawyered.com via email. For those of you who are unfamiliar with his work, he’s been called “America’s leading authority on over-litigation” and his work was even cited in a Supreme Court decision by Sandra Day O’Connor. If you […]

Libertarians Embark On Spoiler Campaign: Do you want to know why the Libertarian Party has never “gone mainstream” and become competitive with the Republicans or Democrats? It’s because of things like this… “The Libertarian Party is planning to challenge several incumbents in November in a so-called national “spoiler” strategy that could put vulnerable Republicans on […]

Things Overheard in Alan Colmes / Morgan Fairchild Conversations: Hehe..here you go.

Star Wars: Attack Of The Clones ‘Mini-Review’: I’m not the biggest “Star Wars” fan that you’re going to run into. I only thought “Star Wars” was “OK” when I was a kid and after watching them again as an adult I thought they aged badly. On the other hand, except for Jar Jar’s incomprehensible nattering […]

Press Bashing Is Always A Winner With The Public: Bush dropped out of “new tone” mode long enough to humiliate a reporter in France and it was quite entertaining. Here’s the Washington Post account of it starting with press member/victim David Gregory’s annoying question first… “I wonder why it is you think there are such […]

From Darkness To Light: George W. Bush Speaks On Memorial Day 2002 From The Normandy American Cemetary: This is perhaps the most eloquent speech given by an American President since Reagan’s farewell address.

Attack Of The Blogs: I’ve had a few questions about what a “blog” is and why it’s significant. Jonah Goldberg does a pretty good job of explaining it here.

Another Voice In The Chorus: Mark Steyn has long been one of my favorite columnists and his latest column touches on many of the same themes that my “The Failing Bush Presidency” editorial covered. This one is worth a read …

Back On Tuesday: I’m heading to the beach for Memorial Day weekend. So that means after noon today there will be no new updates until Tuesday. Have a great week-end!

The Translation Guide For Middle Eastern Dictators: Have you ever actually listened to Yasser Arafat or Saddam Hussein talk about something? You try to follow what they’re saying but it’s just “Zionists this”, “The Great Satan that”, and “hegemony here there and yonder.” Most people just have no idea what they’re trying to get across. […]

Kim Jong Il’s North Korea Fan Club: Well, howdy-doodie! I’m The Glorious Father-Leader, Kim Jong Il, but you can call me Jolly Little Pumpkin Boy!

Religious Merger Creates 900 Million Hinjews: SatireWire suggests a religious merger that would shake the world…Hindus + Jews =’s Hinjews!

A Hypothetical Situation: Let’s say that tomorrow the United States of America completely disappeared off the face of the earth. The people, the land, the businesses, everything that you currently think of as the USA is gone. Would the world be better or worse off? There are plenty of anti-Americans out there who’ll tell you […]

The Daniel Pearl Video: When I heard that Daniel Pearl’s death was put on video I knew it would eventually end up on the web. Originally, I intended to get a copy of the video and put it up on the page. That’s because I think it’s important that people see what kind of warped, […]

Ouch! This Has To Hurt =): The Catholic church has finally dealt with the child-molestation scandal that’s been tainting their image. According to this satire from the Onion, the Pope had this to say about the issue… “As Jesus said, ‘Let he who is without sin cast the first stone,’” the pope continued. “We must […]

The Wendy McElroy Interview: I believe Wendy McElroy is one of the more interesting “free thinkers” out there on the net. I may not agree with everything she says, but I always find that her opinions are well reasoned and thought provoking. Fox News apparently has that view as well since they’ve given her a […]

Now Dan “Flaming Necklace Of Patriotism” Rather Doesn’t Want To Hear About Terrorism Alerts…: The Democrats and the mainstream press spent the last week incessantly whining and moaning that the Bush administration should of obviously known that al-Queda was planning to ram planes into the WTC and the Pentagon because the President got a briefing […]
