Big & Rich or Dumb & Dumber?

Warner Brothers Nashville is making an all-out assault on any remaining dignity and maturity associated with today57;s country music. Not satisfied with being the home of Faith Hill, a past country star who has abandoned the genre, John Michael Montgomery, a man in the midst of trying desperately to revive a failed career, and Blake Shelton, a newbie failure who hasn57;t recorded a decent song in two albums of duds, WB is dumping Big & Rich on us now. And, very obviously, WB is bankrolling these two jackasses with a whole lot of cash to buy huge media exposure and lots of spins on Clear Channel and Infinity-owned radio stations. Nothing else can explain how these clowns have managed to ...
Is John Gibson sucking Bush's dick?

The campaign to discredit the 9/11 Truth Movement has gone from manageable to desperate for the administration. The push for more evidence had been dammed up by the premise of the Moussoui Trial. But since its completion, pressure has forced an ever-defensive government to dole out evidence. So, we have seen the handled release of more Pentagon footage and now, the release of some of the NORAD recordings from 9/11. Fox News has had on many guests regarding 9/11 since the Pentagon footage was released, including 9/11 Scholars for Truth members James Fetzer, the founder, and Kevin Barrett, whose un-tenured teaching position has come under attack. Both scholars raised questions that Fox News ...

Mel Gibson needs help in many ways We wonder, like so many others, what secret mental demons have made movie superstar Mel Gibson so self-destructive. Gibson, with his parents and nine siblings, lived in a farm house on county Route 11 in Mount Vision for several years in the 1960s and attended Laurens Central School from first through third grade. He’s a charming man, a very likable, successful actor and director, an ardent Catholic, a millionaire many times over with a supportive and loving family. And apparently, he’s a suicidal alcoholic. A source close to Gibson said the star was trying to kill himself before his car was stopped by sheriff’s deputies Friday in ...

He won't secure the borders because its a Federal issue, but he'll combat 'global warming' and violate the Constitution by entering into a treaty with a foreign nation. Arnold Schriver-Schwarzenegger is a piece of work.

Reading this article here http://news.scotsman.com/international.cfm?id=1107012006 I can come to no other conclusion that this foxman is a bastard. He is an enemy of free speech. He should be driven out of his position at the ADL. Foxman says Mel Gibson should be brought up on charges or investigated and brought up on charges. Not for drinking and driving but for saying something bad about jews. Mr. Foxman you give jews a bad name. What gives you the fucking right to try to make a crime out of something someone said. Foxman sue me if you want I think you are a POS Jew bastard.
Some "Experts" fear Hezbollah attack in the good old USA

July 28, 2006 — As bombing and missile attacks continue between Israel and Hezbollah, Israeli officials have warned their diplomats around the world about the threat of Hezbollah sleeper cells. There is no credible intelligence pointing to an imminent Hezbollah attack on the United States, but sources say to ABC News that the group is capable of striking here. The video released Thursday of a statement of support for Hezbollah by al Qaeda's No. 2, Ayman Al-Zawahiri, only added to the unease. The spokesman for Hezbollah in Iran also has said the group supports its Lebanese counterparts, though the two groups are only loosely affiliated. "We have 2,000 volunteers. … If ...

Hybrid hysteria

What is it with the halos following the hybrids? There you are, in a group of folks having a perfectly rational discussion, then one person announces she's looking into getting a hybrid car _ that environmentally correct model that uses both gas and electricity _ and everyone sort of says, "wow, really?" and "good for you!" as if the person has just scored eternally usable brownie points for helping to rescue the planet. The cars are given all sorts of special status. Their buyers get tax breaks. In many parts of the country, they get a free pass to drive on "high occupancy vehicle (HOV)" lanes, even if there is only one driver. Chicago Alderman Rey Colon has ...
NEA Agenda is Frightening to Parents

Parents who wonder why the public schools teach so many things parents don't approve of need look no further than the official policies of the nation's largest teachers union, the National Education Association (NEA). Meeting in Orlando this year in annual convention over the Fourth of July weekend, the NEA adopted a long series of left-liberal resolutions. Word leaked out several weeks ahead of time that the convention was ready to take the plunge and endorse same-sex marriage. That would be no surprise, since the NEA usually passes at least a dozen resolutions promoting the gay rights agenda. Apparently the advance negative publicity had a salutary effect and, although already ...

Jury Finds Andrea Yates Not Guilty Of Murdering Her Children
Wednesday, July 26, 2006
HOUSTON — A jury on Wednesday found Houston mom Andrea Yates not guilty of murdering her five kids by reason of insanity.
The decision comes after the jury deliberated for three days in Yates' retrial to determine whether she was legally insane when she drowned her five kids in the family home's bathtub. Her 2002 murder conviction was overturned because of incorrect testimony by a witness.
It's expected Yates will be committed to a state mental hospital, with periodic hearings before a judge to determine whether she should be released. She would have been sentenced to life in prison if ...

This is the way it has always been – since Muhammad first got his demonic visions in the desert. Ever since then, radical adherents to his message have been on the march – beheading, converting by sword, wiping out entire villages, raping and pillaging. Sometimes they are set back – for years, decades, centuries. Sometimes they are on the ascendancy – for years, decades, centuries. This isn't World War III or World War IV. This is World War I.
The illusion of freedom

The illusion of freedom A longtime friend, a career soldier, returned home from Iraq recently and said that, sadly, he is thinking of resigning his commission. After a record of service that extends from Vietnam to Panama to Desert Storm and, finally, to the invasion of Iraq, he says the will to serve his country is gone. "This country used to stand for things that meant something," he said. "Not now. Honor, justice, loyalty, pride: None of these words have any meaning now." As we sat down for lunch, I noticed a change. My friend could always look you in the eye and argue passionately about the need to use military force to defend democracy. No longer. He couldn't ...

WND Commentary Where are the Christians? When Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert unleashed his navy and air force on Lebanon, accusing that tiny nation of an "act of war," the last pillar of Bush's Middle East policy collapsed. First came capitulation on the Bush Doctrine, as Pyongyang and Tehran defied Bush's dictum: The world's worst regimes will not be allowed to acquire the world's worst weapons. Then came suspension of the democracy crusade as Islamic militants exploited free elections to advance to power and office in Egypt, Lebanon, Gaza, the West Bank, Iraq and Iran. Now, Israel's rampage against a defenseless Lebanon – smashing airport runways, fuel tanks, power ...
Factual Review of Concept of “Disproportionality”

Some 600,000 German civilians were lost due to Allied bombings alone, nearly 1% of their pre-war population. A very large minority had voted for Hitler, as has also happened with the Palestinian Arabs and their neo-Nazi Hamas. The total German dead were 10.82% which equals 154,592 from Gaza and 266,225 West Bank Arabs, or 420,817 in total. The much lower Japanese 3.61% rate of dead gives 51,578 for Gaza, 88,824 for West Bank, or 140,402 in total. By either standard, Palestinians have suffered little - so far. And as the 14 Hezbollah members in the Lebanese Parliament out of 128 are 10.94%, then that genocidal element in Lebanon would suffer 45,857 to 15,300 dead by WW II Axis standards. ...
Iraqi Reformist on Arab Society and Social Schizophrenia

In an article titled "Arab Society and Schizophrenia," Iraqi reformist Dr. Abd Al-Khaleq Hussein, who writes on several reformist websites, argues that Arab society suffers from "social schizophrenia," - the symptoms of which are similar to those of individuals suffering from actual schizophrenia. He further argues that the Arab governments must immediately launch social and political reforms which will gradually lead to democracy in the Arab world. If significant reforms are not carried out, he says, disasters will continue to strike the Arab word, and democracy will ultimately be imposed upon it through violent upheavals, as occurred in Iraq. In the article, he also ...
Why We're Fatter: Five reasons you haven't thought of.

We all agree52;and despair52;that obesity is on the rise. America has been getting fatter for the past century, and the problem has worsened over the past 35 years. We also all know the obvious explanations. Who would discount the role of new food-marketing practices, like super-sizing or pushing soda sweetened with corn syrup? Or the decrease52;even elimination52;of physical activity in school and in adult life? An important new paper, though, cautions us to be skeptical that corn syrup and sitting around are the only factors that matter for understanding the obesity epidemic. The study's lead authors, David Allison and Scott Keith of the University of Alabama at Birmingham,* don't reject ...
Bush and Olmert's Dangerous Game

Bush and Olmert's Dangerous Game Bush and Olmert are playing a dangerous game. It’s the U.S. and Israel against all comers, especially in the Arab and Muslim world. But as mighty as the U.S. is, and as mighty as Israel is, both will lose this game in the long run. Bush has been siding with the Israeli government for the past two weeks as it has made the population of Gaza suffer. Bush even vetoed a Security Council resolution condemning Israel’s “disproportionate use of force.” The United States was the only country to vote against that resolution, showing the world once again that Israel can get away with just about anything it wants so long as its godfather in ...

Crowning Our Napoleon in Rags Great Republics don't fall. They're just given away. Consider France. In 1799, facing a crisis of internal corruption and external military threat, the democratic leaders of France modified their constitution to create stronger leadership, and then elected military hero Napoleon Bonaparte as their First Consul. Napoleon did not disappoint. He dazzled the French people by being - in the modern parlance - a "war president," immediately attacking and defeating Austria. And the people cheered. Then, while his popularity soared, Napoleon worked to erode - slowly and almost imperceptibly - the constitutional restrictions on his power. The people and ...

One hears often now that boys flounder in school, drop out, generally perform less well academically than girls, and don57;t go to college. A certain amount of this commentary comes from women who seem quietly to enjoy the spectacle. Given that women control the schools, this might suggest that, if they are not actually causing the problem, neither are they in a hurry to do anything about it. Other people worry that the comparative superabundance of female college graduates will have no one to marry: While men will marry down, women won57;t. Regarding all of which: The cause is not that boys are stupid. Boys have higher average scores than do girls on standardized tests, for example, and ...

I57;m a military combat veteran and critic of our government57;s invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan, and I DON57;T SUPPORT THE TROOPS. I57;ll protest in the streets to end the war, and when the troops come home I57;ll do what I can to see that they get the benefits and treatment they need and deserve. That57;s my contribution to the troops. Many people "oppose the war but support the troops." Rotten war, brave soldiers. I don57;t buy this at all. Although little Johnny or Judy might have once been that nice kid next door, he or she may now be engaged in massacres and atrocities that you can57;t or won57;t believe.

Kim's Choice--and Bush's What price will the North Korean dictator pay? "There's a choice for [Kim Jong Il] to make. He can verifiably get rid of his weapons programs and stop testing rockets, and there's a way forward for him to help his people. I believe it's best to make that choice clear to him with more than one voice, and that's why we have the six-party talks. And now that he has defied China and Japan and South Korea and Russia and the United States--all of us said 'don't fire that rocket.' He not only fired one, he fired seven. Now that he made that defiance, it's best for all of us to go to the U.N. Security Council and say loud and clear, 'Here are some red lines.' And ...

An independent republic still? Two hundred thirty years have elapsed since Jefferson's document was signed in Philadelphia, declaring the 13 colonies to be independent forever of the England of George III. In his Farewell Address, Washington defined independence in a single sentence: "It is our true policy to steer clear of any permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world." Jefferson echoed the father of his country, declaring America's policy to be one of "Peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations; entangling alliances with none." Adams thought his greatest achievement was that he prevented a naval war with France from degenerating into all ...
Ethics, Corruption, and Economic Freedom

Ethics, Corruption, and Economic Freedom The subject of ethics has increasingly been present in economic analysis,1 although not without considerable debate. Some economists believe that the importance of economics is purely technical. Others believe that moral considerations in economic analysis provide a more accurate picture of possible outcomes since it takes into consideration the human aspect of economic actors--that is, people.I confess that, as an economist, it makes me nervous to insert subjective measures such as morality and ethics when I do my own analysis, both because my conclusions may be applicable only to a few cases and because morality and ethics are hard to measure. But ...

Last Stand: The military's problem with the President's Iran policy. On May 31st, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice announced what appeared to be a major change in U.S. foreign policy. The Bush Administration, she said, would be willing to join Russia, China, and its European allies in direct talks with Iran about its nuclear program. There was a condition, however: the negotiations would not begin until, as the President put it in a June 19th speech at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy, "the Iranian regime fully and verifiably suspends its uranium enrichment and reprocessing activities." Iran, which has insisted on its right to enrich uranium, was being asked to concede the ...

TIME MAG: THE END OF COWBOY DIPLOMACY Sat Jul 08 2006 23:23:03 ET In the span of four years, the Bush Administration has been forced to rethink the pre-emptive "Bush doctrine" by which it hoped to remake the world, as the strategy's ineffectiveness was exposed by the very policies it prescribed, TIME's Mike Allen and Romesh Ratnesar report in this weeks cover story on 'The End of Cowboy Diplomacy' on newsstands Monday, July 9th. President George W. Bush came to office pledging to focus on domestic issues and pursue a "humble" foreign policy that would avoid the entanglements of the Bill Clinton years. After Sept. 11, however, the Bush team embarked on a different ...
