SOME ECONOMIC ISSUES
Massachusetts: State eyes tougher welfare rules: “About 10,000 additional Massachusetts welfare recipients, including many people with disabilities, would have to work, and thousands who already have jobs would have to labor for longer hours under new rules recommended yesterday by a special state panel. The proposed changes, which would have to be [...]

The Sudanese government has kicked out senior staff members from two humanitarian agencies that have been trying to care for the thousands of people suffering due to the ongoing civil war.

The Sudanese government ordered senior members of Oxfam and Save the Children to leave the country yesterday, accusing them of backing rebels in the war-torn [...]

“Attacks on Troops Plummet After Fallujah Rout”
Well I can guess why this isn’t covered because only bad news is and this inane babble on why the elections should be postponed in January. Of course, the real reason to postpone elections is so that the US will fail. But we’ll skip past [...]

Athena has this on Honor Killings in the Middle East. Essentially a family will have their daughter murdered if she has sex (of course this doesn’t happen when sons do it). Read the entry, it’s quite eye-opening.

If this is true, I find it awesome and hillarious. I think it’s absolutely brilliant to use the MSM to dupe the enemy and feed false info to them. I think it’s great. The MSM is so “right now” it’ll jump on news before vetting anything and it creates repeated flinch [...]

This is something that seems obvious to me that just doesn’t get reported… every report on the state of the world is how the world is having a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. Sure, there are problems in the world that need to be addressed, but they simply cannot [...]

How is it that Kofi being responsible for UNSCAM (and for that matter the genocide in the former Yugoslavia), who’s son was on the take with UNSCAM, is going to be the greater reformed of the UN?
Or maybe, like I said earlier, reform has become an empty word that politicians use [...]

Picture this:
Somewhere in the world, a filmmaker creates a short documentary that chronicles what he perceives as the excesses of anti-abortion activists. An anti-abortion zealot reacts to the film by killing the filmmaker in broad daylight and stabbing anti-abortion tracts onto his body. How does the Hollywood community react [...]

I never ceased to be amazed at the fact that there is a persistent view that the way to reform bureaucracies is by making them bigger. The problem with the UN is that they don’t do anything. Didn’t in Rwanda, didn’t in Somalia, didn’t in Iraq, didn’t in Sudan, etc etc [...]

After being mocked by an ex-American that left the country about how I’m going to lose my job because Bush got re-elected (whom I’ve since banned from comments because he can’t manage to do anything but make ad hominem attacks), I thought I’d share this. The economy keeps on growing and [...]

Teacher sleeps with student gets arrested and says she’s insane. Yeah, I think the facts of the matter here are that she is insane. She isn’t awful looking, she has to be able to communicate if she got out of school as a teacher, so I’m sure she could get someone [...]

I’m sure most everyone has heard about the harm that has befallen Steve Gardner the so-called 10th brother that came out against Kerry. In short, he got retaliated, lost his job (just after getting a glowing review) and so on. You can read the article for the whole scoop.
Well Blogs for Bush [...]

The NYTimes has this on an appealate court allowing Universities to kick the military off campus and not risk losing federal funds. Of course, few of these schools had the courage to be named, but we’ll skip past that. All these schools are perfectly happy to receive federal funds, including funds [...]

Lately all I’ve seen and heard of the 9/11 widows is the media-whoring money-grubbing nonsense that goes on. Quite frankly it’s pretty hard to feel sorry for their loss. I should, but using their loved one’s gravestone as a soap box really doesn’t make it easy.
Today I read this over at Michelle [...]

Showcase is a place where new blogs can post entries to get some visibility, today I was showcased. In an egregarious oversite I forgot to linkback last night, I apologize to the dishonor I bring upon myself and my house.

The new NBC anchor Brian Williams doesn’t seem to like us bloggers very much, or think we serve any useful purpose. What would you expect from someone working for a fossilized network news show?

Williams, 45, is capable of showing good humor and a dry wit in public. When Time magazine held a lunch to discuss [...]

Dan Rather, quoted in the Hollywood Reporter:
“Ed Murrow’s ghost is here. I’ve seen him and talked to him on the third floor of this building many times late at night. And I can tell you that he’s watching over us.”
Dan must be loopy on phony document printing press fumes. I have it on good authority [...]

People who have installed Desktop Google have found something unexpected in their computer – security holes.
Google’s not doing anything wrong. Its software is doing exactly what it’s supposed to do – finding files. The fault lies with the parts of the operating system that do a bad job of securing files they’re supposed [...]

When someone follows you for miles as you drive down the road some lonely night, it might be because you have a conservative bumper sticker on your car.
“Did you guys hear?” one of them laughed. “John tailed some idiot with a Bush-Cheney sticker on his car all the way here.”
The story got a hearty [...]

John Bogert writes, in the Daily Breeze from the Left Coast, on how offended women are at having to be searched as part of airport security. They are (*gasp!*) subjected to being touched, and – HORRORS! – inconvenienced – in the name of normal searches. This leaves them”hurt” and “angry” and “feeling violated.”
I [...]

David Ignatius notes that the CIA has been the object of a lot of “bashing”. (Scare quotes deliberate – is it “bashing” if the criticisms are true?)
Driving past the George Bush Center for Intelligence, as the CIA headquarters is officially known, you can’t help wondering how on earth America’s spy service has become the [...]

The “60 Minutes” curmudgeon, Andy Rooney, has been making a bigger fool of himself lately by calling conservative Christians uneducated and ignorant. When the sports commentator Jimmy “the Greek” Snyder disparaged blacks in 1988, Dan Rather aired video of the remarks, which led to Mr. Snyde being fired by CBS management. That Mr. Rooney holds [...]

Have you ever listened to Glenn Beck (http://GlennBeck.com) on AM talk radio? I think he’s one of the most-talented guys on radio, and I share his conservative bent. He always makes me think, and I appreciate the energy he puts into his program.
When it comes to women, Glenn is blind. He believes women are superior [...]

Here may be found a letter of apology.
I have a few items to add.

I’m sorry we suck up 80% of the world’s resources, in exchange for 80% of the money the rest of the world receives.
I’m sorry we use those resources to produce more than 80% of the world’s goods and services, including life-saving drugs [...]
