Hello, Cleveland!! Doove Doove DOOOOOOVE! Doove-doove da-DOOVE!
Sorry: that was me playing “Smoke on the Water” on air guitar…
Anyhow: President Obama just made a special video message for Earth Day (April 22), saying in part:
Forty-one years ago, in the city of Cleveland, people watched in horror as the Cuyahoga river, choked with debris and covered in [...]
Attorney General Eric Holder testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee yesterday. He was asked the same questions about closing Guantanamo Bay, trying terrorist leader Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in New York City, and classifying some detainees as enemy combatants. If you were looking for something new and insightful, don’t hold your breath.
Just as before Holder [...]
Earth Day is now just over a week away. As schools, the media and all levels of government prepare to lay on yet another layer of misinformation manure, be sure to have your facts at the ready. (And not just the one about how April 22 just happens to be Lenin’s birthday…)
This week, George Will [...]
Reza Kahlili (an alias) recently wrote the book, A Time To Betray, a portrayal of his double life as a Revolutionary Guard member and CIA Agent. Although it is impossible to independently verify his recounting of all the events and facts it is a fascinating read about the despotic Iranian regime. The best [...]
It seems that President Clinton’s legacy involves a bit more than tired cigar jokes and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. CBS News reports:
Most young adults agree penile-vaginal intercourse is sex, but less than one in five think that oral-genital contact counts as “having sex,” according to a 2007 survey of undergraduate [...]
On the campaign trail, Barack Obama famously told a Pennsylvania audience that if his daughters had sex as teenagers, he wouldn’t want them “punished with a baby.”
The message was clear: babies ruin your life.
Later that year, Rebecca Walker described how her mother, author Alice Walker, has a similarly skewed perception of motherhood:
I was 16 when [...]
No, not really, but I’m sure that’s what some of the comments below will say. I wrote yesterday about how even The Washington Times described the Obama Administration’s new nuclear strategy as only having “minor policy changes.”
Tonight, Jon Stewart accurately slammed some of the rhetoric coming from Fox News on the issue. He also hit [...]
Some cynics feel young people today are petulant ingrates, reclining in cushy bubbles of ignorance inherited through their grandparent’s blood, sweat, and tears. But, luckily, Apple Computer’s new Che Guevara iPhone app is proof that we needn’t worry about that anymore.
Guevara would be gratified to see how many insight-challenged Americans impose his slimy mug [...]
Muhammad, the prophet of Islam, is said to have predicted the Islamic conquest first of Constantinople (“the city of Heraclius” below) and then of Rome. An Islamic conference to be held in London on April 10 boasts about what the conference organizers see as the looming fulfillment of the second part [...]
Last year, Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) attempted to correct clever legislative language on page 158 of the health care bill which carves out an exemption for certain members of staff, particularly those senior staffers who played a key role in crafting the legislation. The Congressional Research Service confirms that the definition in the bill detailing [...]
