Senator Sam Brownback (R-KS), a long-time friend of Israel, introduced a bill along with six other senators (none of them Democrats) that would abolish the “security” waiver that American presidents have used to prevent implementing a 1995 law declaring that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel, saying, “it is long overdue for America to... »

- 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 [...]

Out Of Touch Congress
Saturday, November 7th, 2009
In case you’re wondering why Congress seems so out of touch with “normal people”, look no further than the new report put out by the Center for Responsive Politics, in which they list a whopping 237 millionaire members of Congress. Politico reports: Talk about bad timing. As Washington reels from the news of 10.2... »
Poise and Eloquence Out The Window
Saturday, November 7th, 2009
In a very noticeable blunder, Obama, who was called upon to comment on the Ft. Hood massacre began his opening remarks with a “shout-out” to a “Congressional Medal of Honor winner”. It took him three full minutes of light-hearted babbling until he finally sobered up and delivered his comments on the tragedy. For a... »
Fun With Google
Wednesday, November 4th, 2009
I found this “armchair sociolinguistic analysis” of Google to be very interesting. Check it out! Tip of the ol’ fedora to my brother-in-law, Joey, for sending this my way. »
Rethinking Czars
Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009
A couple of months ago, I posted about Obama’s multitude of czars; how it seems that just about any lunatic can be a czar since, after all, the non-cabinet appointment conveniently avoids any confirmation process; and about how Obama has been exploiting that technicality to shuttle all his crazy friends away from Senate confirmations and... »
Pigs On The Subway
Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009
I just read a story on NBC New York about a fistfight on the NYC subway. Believe it or not, something like that is not actually common, although what prompted the fight is frustratingly common. Apparently, one woman started coughing without covering her mouth, prompting another woman, worried about the Swine Flu, to reprimand... »
President No
Monday, November 2nd, 2009
The Weekly Standard “Scrapbook” had a great piece (short, but packing a great punch) on how Obama is making quite the name for himself as the first president in a long time to have this many doors shut in his face: Barack Obama is President No. And not because he says no a lot.... »
