Happy Halloween - Chinese Fake Teeth Recalled

Once again we need to thank the Chinese for their continued supply of tainted products. This time, fake Halloween teeth.
The $2 packages of “Ugly Teeth” are only the latest in a long line of Chinese-made toys and novelty items recalled because of lead. The Consumer Product Safety Commission announced the recall on Halloween, [...]

U.K. - School Children and Teachers Forced to Dress as Muslims for the Day

A school in the UK forced faculty and students to dress up as Muslims for a day to belatedly celebrate the Muslim holiday of Eid. Most of the students are Christians and only two teachers are Muslim but everyone was forced to dress as Muslims. There was also a gathering but men were not allowed [...]

Islam and Women

I’ve posted repeatedly about the fact that one of the main things Islamists fear about the West is the fact that the West has decided not to subjugate its women. So much of Islamic energy is spent on women’s issues — only not in the way NOW defines them.
To NOW, women’s issues, at the [...]

So……What’s Stopping Warren Buffett?

Warren Buffett, the billionaire who has not yet found a way to enjoy his wealth, complains that he does not pay enough income taxes and states that he pays less than his employees who make far less money. Buffett indicated that he does not have accountants, (I find that hard to believe), and that he [...]

Another Hillary Clinton Scandal - “Pardons for Votes” Claimed by Judicial Watch

Last night during the Democrat Presidential debate Hillary Clinton punted when asked whether or not she would allow the National Archives to release the docs of her communications during her tenure as first lady saying “They are releasing things as they do their process” followed by the claim that it is “not her decision [...]

American Schools Avoid Responsibility At Levels Both Large and Small

Yesterday I wrote about an administrative meeting I attended at our local public school, relating how everyone assured me that the teachers understood a policy document that was to guide them. However, when I asked questions, it became apparent that the teachers, in fact, didn’t understand at least a few of the key concepts in [...]

Response to Wildfires by Military not Hampered by Deployments

It did not take long for people to blame George Bush for the wildfires in California because of his [past] opposition to global warming and because of a general hatred of the man. People compare the response to the wildfires with the response to Katrina and there are those who believe that the wealthier Californians [...]

Media People Again Fail To Do Their Job

Would it surprise any of you to learn that the media’s coverage of the President horse race accords more coverage, and more favorable coverage, to the Democratic candidates? It didn’t surprise me, but it’s still useful to see it in black and white:
Campaign coverage of the 2008 presidential election has been both biased and shallow, [...]

Historic Flag Folding Recitations By Vets at Cemeteries Banned by National Cemetery Administration

The vermin trash on the American Left can claim another victory in the assault on all things religious by shutting down the historic ritual of flag-folding recitations at Veteran’s burials by employees of the Veterans administration. This is what you get when you elect Godless Democrats to office:
RIVERSIDE,California - Complaints about religious content have [...]

Salon.com 101 - A Lesson in Selective Editing from the Progressives

One of the things I landed on, hard, in my post about the great Rush Limbaugh smear was the fact that Media Matters, in order to smear Rush, did some very selective editing so as to destroy entirely the context in which his “phony soldier” comment arose. It seems that another “respected” member of [...]
