- 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 [...]

NYT Bibiwashing Attempt Thwarted
I know I’ve been inactive lately (“lately” being very loosely applied here!), but I came across this and was so inspired and enthusiastic about sharing it that I had to find my way back to my blog if only to share this. Apparently, the NY Times—in its warped sense of “balance”—figured it would balance... »
CompuTechnologies: SCAMMERS (Public Service Announcement)
THESE PEOPLE ARE DISHONEST, DECEPTIVE, SCAMMERS! This is a public service announcement! I’m taking a brief break in my usual articles to post this public service announcement in the hopes that this can save even at least one other person from getting taken in by the following dishonest sites: http://computechnologiesinc.com http://computerpartsnmore.com These sites are... »
Bloomberg’s “Crash Tax”

Man Brings Beer to DWI Court Appearance
This story from NBC New York is just so bizarre, I can’t even find the words to introduce it: Man Brings Beer to DWI Court Appearance A 49-year-old man is in Sullivan County Jail without bail after authorities say he showed up for a court hearing on a felony DWI charge drunk and carrying an... »
Excrement Update
Since many people have asked me what is the current status of the human excrement issue, here’s the latest (and final) update: Fox 5 News at 10 called me to set up an interview in the subway last Thursday. It aired last Thursday night in a surprisingly substantial segment on... »
MTA’s Human Excrement Still Aging
I recently wrote about some smeared human excrement (yes, you’re reading this correctly) in the middle of a subway station ramp. Well, guess what? It’s still there, and it’s now going on over two weeks. I just sent a whole new slew of letters to the same recipients as last week (Straphangers Campaign, MTA... »
MTA Ignores Human Excrement
I’ve finally had enough. For over a week now, I’ve had to walk past the same splatter of human excrement in the middle of a primary subway ramp at the 34th Street Herald Square station, and I’m genuinely outraged by the apparent lack of any effort by the MTA to clean it up. I... »
Throw Out The Garbage From NYC’s Sanitation Department
The news coming out of the New York Post is no surprise: informants from within the Sanitation Department have come out secretly exposing that workers deliberately slowed down the blizzard cleanup efforts in an underhanded move to make Bloomberg look bad. It was obvious to most New Yorkers (especially those in Brooklyn who were hit... »
More Cablevision Ranting
Yes, I just wrote about this last night, but after seeing more mentions of this in the news, some of which seemed to defend Cablevision, I wanted to point out a few fallacies in Cablevision’s arguments. Cablevision is claiming that they didn’t pull the programming, News Corp did. Well, when you refuse to pay... »
No Fox? Goodbye Cablevision, Hello Verizon FIOS!
I’m departing momentarily from my usual national and world politics to just vent on a frustration of an entirely different nature: television. In particular, the dispute between Fox and Cablevision. A quick recap for anyone not familiar with the situation: Cablevision is no longer broadcasting the Fox broadcast channel because of a dispute between... »
Crack-Induced Shooting
TheSmokingGun.com reports on a crime where a man got into an argument with two teenagers over their stupid habit of wearing their pants hanging down below their asses, and ended up shooting one of them in the ass. I can't say that I blame him. In fact, I think they should probably give the guy a... »
8 kids with 6 moms? NFL star is shameful
Mitch Albom, of the Detroit Free Press, recently penned this great opinion piece that is so good, it deserves to be reproduced everywhere possible! It is already one of the most embarrassing video clips in sports history, and it has nothing to do with dropped passes or missed dunks. It is footage of New... »
Smoking Toddler
This has to be one of the most disturbing news items I’ve seen in a while: a two-year-old boy with a two-pack-a-day smoking habit. I’m surprised, though, that this news report, in which they report on the father’s opinions regarding the baby’s health, doesn’t answer the most glaring question: how did a baby get... »
Fat Ambition
In what has to be one of the strangest news stories I’ve read in a long time, a woman is intentionally trying to become the world’s fattest woman. This stupid woman, Donna Simpson of NJ, who obviously isn’t too concerned about being alive to watch her 3-year old daughter grow up, is already 600... »
