- Syrian Slander
March 9, 2010Immediately following the devastating earthquake in Haiti, Israel flew an incredible amount of doctors and equipment there (more so than any other country, proportionately speaking)—some of the best and most advanced technology—and made an incredible difference in the aftermath. While most critics of Israel at least acknowledged the humanitarianism and generosity of the country, there are [...]
- More Blatant Reuters Bias
March 5, 2010I couldn’t help but seethe as I read a recent “news alert” from Reuters AlertNet, loaded with an unbelievable amount of spin and bias. The story involves Muslims hurling rocks at Jews from above, as the Jews pray below harmlessly at the Western Wall. Note that these large rocks (sometimes euphemized as “stones”) can cause—and have [...]
- Dubai Police Chief Should “Be Ashamed” Of His Moral Confusion
February 28, 2010CNN is reporting that the Dubai police chief said that the Mossad “needs to be ashamed” after the assassination Mahmoud al-Mabhouh. His statement was: The Mossad needs to be ashamed of its actions… They sent 26, 27 persons to assassinate one man who was involved in the capturing and killing of two Israeli solders. So, let me [...]
- The Epitome of Hypocrisy
February 24, 2010Naked Emperor News has compiled what has to be one of the most hearty meals of crow that the Dems are going to have to eat right now, as they all continue to babble on about using the “nuclear option” to ram their corpulent health care obscenity through Congress. This beautiful compilation includes an all-star cast [...]
- Muslim Students at UC Irvine Twist “Free Speech”
February 21, 2010About two weeks ago, Michael Oren, the Israeli ambassador to the United States came to the University of California at Irvine to speak, by invitation of the university’s faculty. Muslim hecklers in the crowd interrupted him almost a dozen times, to the point where Professor Mark Petracca, chairman of the university’s Political Science department, issued [...]

Paul Krugman vs. Paul Krugman
Last Friday, James Taranto had this hilarious observation in his Best of the Web Today column of Paul Krugman arguing with his past self: Former Enron adviser Paul Krugman takes note in his New York Times column of what he calls “the incredible gap that has opened up between the parties”: Today, Democrats and Republicans live... »

Harry Reid: Only 36,000 Lost Their Jobs Today, Which Is Really Good!”
Here’s Harry Reid (D-NV) today, saying, “Today is a big day in America. Only 36,000 people lost their jobs today, which is really good.” You just gotta see it to believe it: »

Son of Hamas
London’s Times Online has an unbelievable story about one of the more incredible spies for Israel in recent times. Mosab Hassan Yousef, nicknamed the “Green Prince”, spied for Israel’s Shin Bet security service for over a decade, using his connections and knowledge as the son of Sheikh Hassan Yousef, one of Hamas’s founding members! Yousef, a... »

Buh-Bayh
Here’s one more gem from James Taranto’s Best of the Web Today: See if you can guess the topic of the New York Times op-ed piece whose first paragraph is this: Baseball may be our national pastime, but the age-old tradition of taking a swing at Congress is a sport with even deeper historical roots in... »
Obama’s Racket
James Taranto wrote such a great piece in today’s Best of the Web Today, that I simply have to include the entire section that I found so appealing here: “Audiences Hate Modern Classical Music Because Their Brains Cannot Cope”: an arresting headline from London’s Sunday Telegraph. This is the argument of a new book, “The... »

BBC Anomaly
Tom Gross wonders whether the BBC even knew what they were getting when they commissioned a Gaza War piece by Conflict Zones, an independent production company, to be hosted by a respected Gulf War veteran, British Colonel Tim Collins. As it turns out, much to what must have been the BBC’s horror, they were given a... »
Obama Losing Reelection Poll Against… Anyone!
It’s one thing to be losing in a poll to a particular opponent, but you have to be doing exceptionally poorly in the approval ratings to be losing in a poll to the prospect of anyone else. And, according to a recent CNN poll, that’s exactly where Obama stands right now. 52% of respondents would prefer... »
Bow-Crazy
Here’s Obama, now bowing to Tampa Mayor Pam Iorio. What is wrong with this guy? Does he go into automatic-servant mode whenever someone reaches out a hand for a handshake? Or maybe ever since the Saudi monarch bow-scandal, he’s now just trying to make it look like he “always does this sort of thing”… kind of... »
Affirmative Action Handicapping
Here’s a typical backwards affirmative action approach to “evening the playing field”, as articulated so beautifully in National Review’s The Week (January 25, 2010): The folks at California’s Berkeley High School have a problem, or think they do: The school’s black and Hispanic students score much lower on standardized tests than whites and Asians. Their... »
Leno’s Backhanded Praise For Obama
As much as I love Conan, I just have to post this great quote from Leno (January 20): You know, it’s hard to believe President Obama has now been in office for a year! And, you know, it’s incredible. He took something that was in terrible, terrible shape, and he brought it back from the brink... »
