- 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 [...]

NY Times: All The News That’s Fit To Twist
In light of some recent (although hardly surprising) reporting by the NY Times, my father had these particularly insightful comments to make, ending with a pair of questions that I challenge any honest person to answer: According to the “paper of record”, Israel’s killing of terrorists responsible for killing Israeli civilians (including children) ignited... »
Warren Buffet, The New Tax Man With New Math
With all this talk lately of Warren Buffet calling for “millionaires” to pay higher taxes (somehow that term includes not only the 237,000 people who actually DO make over a million dollars, but also another 3.92 million people who make more than $200K, calling the actual sneakily-used term severely into question), we should all... »
Some Common Sense
Here’s a great clip of “some common sense” from your average taxpayer: »
Israel Naval Blockade Is Legal, According to the U.N.
Tom Gross, an renowned and influential journalist with years of expertise in Middle East reporting, reported on the recent UN commission that found Israel’s naval blockade to be legal, as reported in Israel’s Haaretz newspaper. As he often does, Gross added some great commentary of his own to the story: The Israeli paper Ha’aretz reports that “The... »
Huma May Have Bad Taste in Men, But She’s Not Crazy
In the midst of all this speculation regarding Anthony Weiner’s potential resignation decision and his wife’s role in it, the WSJ’s James Taranto is the only commentator who actually makes sense by pointing out the absurdity of expecting his wife to “talk him into resigning”. He writes: House Democrats are anxious to be rid... »
The Waterboarding Debate Continues
James Taranto posted this great piece in his Best of the Web Today column on the WSJ site: Administration officials and sympathizers have continued to fire back against the argument that the Osama bin Laden raid vindicates the Bush administration’s use of enhanced interrogation techniques, including waterboarding. As we noted Friday, the counterarguments have... »
Civil Libertarian Hypocrites
Marilyn Penn, blogging at Political Mavens, had this great piece last week: When it comes to provocateurs who are anti-American, the bastions of liberalism march in lockstep to defend whatever freedom is at stake. Refusing to say the pledge of allegiance? Freedom of speech. Nazi march through a community of survivors? Same and warum nicht?... »
Fayyad’s Advisor Shrugs Off School Bus Attack
Omar Al-Ghoul, one of PA Prime Minister Salam Fayyad’s advisors, had the audacity to say this publicly regarding the Hamas attack on a school bus that left one young boy brain dead: The bus wasn’t that badly damaged, but Israel wants to use the attack on the bus as an excuse for its... »
Drop Dead, Goldstone
Hey Goldstone, nice of you to wake up. Now go back to sleep. Or, better yet, drop dead. I’ve posted many posts about Richard Goldstone’s libelous and scandalous report, and now, almost two years later, that buffoon wakes up and says “maybe I was wrong”. It’s a bit late for that, the damage has... »
AP Fact-Checks Obama’s Speech!
Obama had another one of his usual bullcrap-laden speeches last night, which is no surprise given his irresistible attraction to the media. But, here’s a nice surprise: the media’s irresistible attraction to Obama may finally have reached its breaking point with the Libyan war. AP put out not one, but two distinct reports, both extremely critical... »

Some Advice For Israel From Melanie Phillips
Melanie Phillips, an Orwell Prize-winning British journalist and author, has some exceptionally good advice for Israel, which one can only hope they heed. »
Barack Jintao
The Weekly Standard’s “The Scrapbook”, always a great source for a cynical laugh or two, had this to say about Obama’s Sinophilia: Buried at the end of an otherwise milquetoast New York Times article (“Obama Seeks a Course of Pragmatism in the Middle East,” which THE SCRAPBOOK supposes is a generous interpretation of the... »

British MP Louise Bagshawe to BBC: Where Is Fogel Coverage?
Louise Bagshawe, a British Member of Parliament, outraged at the lack of coverage on the BBC of the Fogel family massacre, has written a strong condemnation in the Telegraph today. Summarizing it would do it an injustice, so here it is in its entirety: Who is Tamar Fogel? The chances are that you will... »
