- 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 [...]

Living Liberally
Matt Labash has to be one of my favorite authors. When the Weekly Standard features one of his pieces, I actually set aside my OCD method of reading magazines from cover to cover and I go straight to his piece to read it first. His latest feature was no exception, and is funnier than... »
Agreeing With PETA: Sheer Torture
Should I start worrying about myself? After all, for the second time in just 4 months I am actually agreeing with an issue PETA has raised! (See my post on Ringling Bros. Circus Abuse for the first such occasion.) Now, PETA has come out very strongly against a video on YouTube showing what is... »
Zionist Cows: The Latest Threat To Lebanon
No, I am not kidding. Lebanon’s Daily Star is reporting on the latest threat to Lebanon from Israel: “Zionist cows” that venture across the blue line and apparently drink Lebanese water. This threat is so serious that a fence is being built to keep the “Zionist cows” out of Lebanon. (Should we start protesting... »
God, Guns, Guts, and American Pickup Trucks
If I needed a pickup truck, I think I would actually go all the way out to Missouri just to give this principled, intelligent guy, Mark Muller, and his company, Max Motors, my business (as well as to shake his hand and give him some respect for not letting CNN step all over him): »
Conscientious-Objecting Nurse Coerced Into Aiding Abortion
In a sickening sign of the times, Catherina Cenzon-DeCarlo, a nurse at New York’s Mount Sinai Hospital, was coerced into aiding an abortion, despite her stated religious objection to it. This flies in the face of the federal “conscience clause” that protects medical workers in exactly such cases by requiring institutions receiving federal funding... »
Ringling Bros. Circus Abuses Animals
I’m ordinarily that last person to promote anything that PETA does, but for once, I’m on their side of an argument. The undercover video of Ringling Bros. Circus animals being abused for no reason goes entirely beyond the pale and shows behavior that is disgusting and reprehensible. Quite frankly, it makes me want to... »
Best Ad Against Nationalized Health Care
This ad showcasing Canada’s pathetic state of health care has got to be the most powerful and effective ad yet in denouncing nationalized health care and showing the ugly truth about it to the bamboozled public (who, incidentally, are starting to pull the wool off from their eyes, as the polls are showing a... »
Why Stop At Gay Marriage?
David Boies today in the Wall Street Journal writes about his decision to sue to overturn California’s Proposition 8. In his piece he rebuts several outdated arguments that almost no one is making anymore (“there is no longer any credible contention that depriving gays and lesbians of basic rights will cause them to change their... »
Liberals Can’t Decide: “Babies” or “Fetuses”
John McCormack, the deputy online editor at The Weekly Standard, had a great tweet yesterday, referencing the liberal TNR blog’s dig at Nixon which was entitled “Nixon: Abort Interracial Babies”. The blog quotes Nixon musing about the availability of abortion being necessary for seemingly unintended babies of interracial sex, slamming him for “aborting interracial... »
Unique Libertarian Approach to Gay Marriage
A friend of mine recently pointed me to what turned out to be by far one of the best essays on the subject of gay marriage that I’ve ever read—including many highly persuasive “slippery slope perspective” ones. This essay should definitely give food for thought to both proponents and opponents of gay marriage and... »
