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... »

http://newsmax.com/archives/ic/2004/11/30/03551.shtml “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... »

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. Hat tip: PoliPundit »

http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-warinfo1dec01,0,321180.story?coll=la-home-headlines 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... »

http://www.helenair.com/articles/2004/11/30/opinions/a05113004_03.txt 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... »

http://www.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/meast/11/29/oil.for.food.kojo.annan/index.html 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... »

http://www.humaneventsonline.com/article.php?id=5905 I quote: == 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... »

http://sg.news.yahoo.com/041130/1/3oxr1.html 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... »

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... »

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... »

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... »

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... »

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... »
