It was reported by Matt Drudge that England’s Prince Harry, son of Princess Diana and Prince Charles, was deployed to the front line of the war in Afghanistan.
First, I love Prince Harry. I find him to be incredibly brave and I think that Princess Di would be proud of her youngest son. However, [...]

Update: The man who was staying in the room where the Ricin was found is hospitalized and in a coma. Police claim that they don’t believe that this incident is terrorist related. However, I’m a bit confused; the man who reported the Ricin is unidentified and wasn’t a guest of the motel. [...]

Last night, I was discussing with my mother the British woman I met in Florida who said that the situation in England, vis a vis Muslims, is much worse than even the papers describe. Aside from pointing to political correctness as the culprit, I also also laid the blame, as did the British woman, on [...]

One thing I love about Tivo is the way it gets to know your preferences and makes helpful “suggestions” about things you may want to watch. I don’t mean it taps you on the shoulder and says “Hey, there’s a great show on right now. Shall I record it?” It just records it, and let’s [...]

The headline caught my eye — “Right wing plays Muslim card against Obama” — since it was such an obvious attempt to smear all conservatives as, not racists, but religious-ists. As you now, while a conservative radio host did make a speech in which he emphasized Obama’s actual, real, true middle name, McCain [...]

The title to this article is exactly how I’d write it if I were a political hack trying to drum up a faux controversy for use by other political hacks in the mainstream media. Which is exactly what Sam Stein of the Huffington Post did on February 12th as he broke out the yellowkid journalistic [...]

Frankly, I don’t know if I’ve ever said it on my blog, but both my mother and Don Quixote can corroborate the fact that I’ve been saying for years that mutually assured destruction is not deterrent when dealing with Iranian leaders because they not only believe in the Muslim equivalent of the Apocalypse, they also [...]

In several posts over the last few days, I’ve commented about Disney efficiency. Thousands of people are fairly painlessly shuffled from place to place; Fast Passes are a think of beauty, especially if individuals handle them well; everything is immaculately clean, including the overused bathrooms; the equipment functions superbly well considering the demands made [...]

I’m wondering…why are we supposed to be upset with Bill O’Reilly and not Michelle Obama?
O’Reilly dared to mention the word “lynching” and the name of a black person in the same sentence. Never mind that there was nothing derogatory in his statement, just the mere presence of the “L” word indicates…pretty much whatever we want [...]
