- 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 [...]

This blog is the byproduct of an intense political debate I had with some friends. At some point in the debate, I was told that I sure have a lot to say. Now, I don’t know if that was meant as a compliment or not, but it was at least some food for thought because all my life I’ve been told (in one form or another) that I always have a lot to say.
I grew up continually looking for a good debate—with family, with friends, with teachers, and even with strangers. I almost always had to have an opinion on everything—and even if I didn’t, I’d choose one just to play devil’s advocate and stir things up.
This blog is also the byproduct of a growing habit I have of forwarding interesting stories and articles to my friends and family. I enjoy reading immensely: books, magazines, essays, editorials, blogs, etc. More and more so, I tend to digest much of what I read and then hand-pick some of the better items to forward to my friends and family.
All those debates I had and all those items I emailed spanned a wide variety of subjects, from political issues on the world and national level, to community issues, to religious and social issues. Of course, that would also be sprinkled with some humor or weird topics from time to time.
In the same vein, this blog will hopefully cover many topics and may even spawn debate in the comments sections. Just don’t be surprised if it seems as though I have to have the last word—that’s another thing I’ve been told all my life.
