Read the original post and comments first published here. Without doubt, the Internet has wormed its series of blissful tubes throughout our lives. It’s what we check in the morning, what we look at during the day, what entertains us at night. It provides news, products, business opportunities, conversation, relationships, self-promotion and endless distraction. An [...]
In Islamic law, blood money, or diyya is less for non-Muslims than for Muslim lives. It is just one such indication of how, under Sharia, infidel blood is cheap. "At least 7 hostages killed in rescue from Iraq church," by Waleed Ibrahim and Muhanad Mohammed for Reuters, October 31: BAGHDAD…
To hear it told, the 2010 election stands to be one of the most historic in recent memory. And it’s likely true. Two years after Barack Obama promised “hope and change,” we’ve seen just how little hope that failed change has brought us. Four years after the Democrats launched a charge against a lackluster Republican [...]
The absolute, club-footed idiocy of asking Yusuf Islam (aka Cat Stevens) to perform “Peace Train” at the Jon Stewart/Stephen Colbert “Rally to Restore Sanity” has been well-remarked upon. You can only shake your head and cackle in disbelief. It’s the perfect poison Halloween treat. James Hudnall at Big Hollywood: “And to show how inclusive they [...]
This Hot Post was first published on October 27, here. Seriously, though—when did Congressman Charlie Wilson (D, OH-06) stop beating his wife? Moreover, why is the media covering this up?

"Yemen is like a bus station — we stop some terrorists, and we send others on to fight elsewhere … We appease our partners in the West, but we are not really helping." – Yemeni political analyst Murad Abdul Wahed Zafir, 2008. This, once again, shows Yemen’s lack of seriousness…
Some are perennial favorites used by both sides, some are leftist projections of Democrats’ dirty intentions, some are theories concocted especially for this unique political climate. Whatever their provenance, let’s make sure these specious explanations are top-of-mind so we can be prepared to shoot them down when commentators start filling the airwaves with them on [...]
What if something had gone wrong? We know the bombs were powerful enough to bring down a plane. There would have outrage at Muslim casualties, and the sense in the Mideast that something must be done about such slaughter. Maybe even Yemen would show some sense of urgency. And heaven…
This post originally appeared on October 25, 2010. It was inevitable. Given the increasing pressure on liberals, especially artists and writers, including Jewish artists and writers, to prove that they have the right/left politics–properly pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel, anti-Judaism, and anti-American–Hollywood is giving an Honorary Academy Award to French filmmaker Jean-Luc Godard, an historically important director but [...]
It’s absurd enough that this would happen once, but it’s not the first time. And Saudi Arabia is up for a supporting role. When apologists for Islam defend Sharia’s deplorable record on women’s rights and human rights in general, they often cite marginal improvements that Islamic law may have introduced…
