Jonathan F. Keiler, a former U.S. Army Judge Advocate General Corps officer, has written a paper advocating doing away with the whole concept of proportionality in war. The whole notion of proportionality is ridiculous, because one often ends up trying to turn human lives into mere number-crunching: they killed 100 of our people, so... »

- Rolling Stone’s Bizarre Cheap Shot At Sarah Palin
March 28, 2011
I previously posted about the latest rash of scandalous photos coming out of Afghanistan showing U.S. military atrocities under Obama’s command, and wondering if the media would pick up on it the way they did when it was Bush’s army… Well, here’s a twist I wasn’t expecting: yes, one of the U.S. media, Rolling Stone, [...] - More Disgustingly Overt Reuters Bias
March 24, 2011
Jeffrey Goldberg, a correspondent for the Atlantic, cast a spotlight on yet another disgustingly overt example of pure bias in the mainstream media, particularly at the anti-Semitic Reuters newswire. He points to a Reuters news item which contains the following despicable sentences: Police said it was a “terrorist attack” — Israel’s term for a Palestinian [...] - Bloomberg’s “Crash Tax”
March 24, 2011While reading last month’s issue of AAA’s Car & Travel magazine, I was surprised to discover that Bloomberg (with the FDNY behind him) is now trying to push a “crash tax” on anyone involved in a car accident, with such taxes ranging from $365 up to $490, depending on the severity of the crash. The [...]
- Obama’s Abu Ghraib
March 21, 2011The latest news out of Afghanistan is going to be really interesting to follow, if only to see how the media handles it. According to the Guardian and other (so far relatively few) sources, pictures have now made their way out of Afghanistan (courtesy of Germany’s Der Spiegel) showing brutal and psychopathic activities by U.S. [...]
- Sympathy For Israel? Time To Restore “Balance”!
March 16, 2011
In the [sparse] reporting of the Palestinians’ massacre of the Fogel family, several newspapers stand out with their distorted sense of “balance”, i.e., where they feel overwhelmingly uncomfortable describing the barbarity of the Palestinians without at least taking a swipe or two at the Israelis, no matter how patently irrelevant or disgustingly disrespectful it comes [...]

The Ultra-Conservative Sotomayor!
Friday, July 17th, 2009
James Taranto points out in the Wall Street Journal the irony of Senate judicial confirmation hearings, in that the nominee in question, in attempting to assuage the opposition, often skews her statements to the opposite side of the political spectrum. So, here we have Sonia Sotomayor appointed by the Democrat Obama trying to allay... »
Biden: “We Have to Go Spend Money to Keep From Going Bankrupt”
Friday, July 17th, 2009
In yet more hilarious news today, Joe Biden actually came out and said “we have to go spend money to keep from going bankrupt”. Does this imbecile actually hear the words that are coming out of his mouth?! Maybe we should all go and eat fatty foods to stop the obesity epidemic? Or perhaps... »
Barbara Boxer Gets Ripped For “Condescending Racial Remarks”
Friday, July 17th, 2009
This is just hilarious! Barbara Boxer (D-CA) gets ripped by Harry Alford, the National Black Chamber of Commerce President & CEO, who slams her for being “condescending” and for “being racial” and “getting to a path that’s going to explode”. If it weren’t for the Sotomayor hearings going on this week, I’d say that... »
