From the “you know it’s going to be a bad day when…” department: Fateh Mohammad, a prison inmate in Pakistan, says he woke up last weekend with a glass light bulb in his anus. On Wednesday night, doctors brought Mohammad’s misery to an end after a one-and-a-half hour operation to remove the object. Don’t...
In a column not long ago, I proposed that we close Gitmo send all terror suspect detainees to the United Nations, but now I’ve changed my mind. We should send them to the U.S. Supreme Court for safe keeping — well, safe for the terror suspects, anyway. From the A.P.: The Supreme Court ruled Thursday...
According to a new study published in the Annals of Neurology, cell phone emissions excite the part of the brain cortex nearest to the phone, but it is not clear if these effects are harmful, according to the researchers.  The cell phones that excite the brain are of the type that emit electromagnetic fields...
Given events on the ground in the Middle East right now with Israel trying to gain the release of its kidnapped soldier, it looks like the Palestinian experiment in self rule’s not going so great, particularly in Gaza. Well, as anybody could’ve told ‘em, one election does not a Jeffersonian democracy make. A jihadist...
The pro-life movement is, at least in America, allied with conservatism. This leads to an inevitable contradiction. Any additional law means more government. This is especially ironic now that we are about to save taxpayer dollars through welfare reform. Is there a way to radically decrease abortions without asking the government to do it?...
CA: Three down: “Police are searching for a would-be victim who fought back against three armed robbers with his own gun early this morning in the Tenderloin neighborhood, according to San Francisco police Lt. John Loftus. The three men, one armed with a shotgun, approached a man and a woman on the corner of...
Saddam’s WMD: Why is the U.S. intelligence community holding back? Excerpt from here. One of the writers is the chairman of the House Permanent Committee on Intelligence! Even he is getting the mushroom treatment (kept in the dark and fed bulls**t) On Wednesday, at our request, the director of national intelligence declassified six “key...
Two years after Goodridge legalized “same-sex†marriage in Massachusetts, courts across America have consistently been ruling in favor of heterosexual marriage. It is truly astonishing that courts would be more moral than the American Episcopal and Congregational Churches. There are two reasons why this is happening. First: churches have been invaded by experienced feminist...
Another plug for vegies: “Eating plenty of leafy greens, broccoli and Brussels sprouts may help ward off the blood cancer non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, research findings suggest. In a study of more than 800 US adults with and without non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL), researchers found that those who ate the most vegetables had a 42 per cent...
by Jim Kouri, CPP The wickedly funny and witty political columnist and bestselling author Ann Coulter (or as I call her the blonde bomber) once wrote that when liberals pass by a graveyard, they see potential voters. I would take it further: when liberals see hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens swarming over our...
Okay, if it’s legal to burn an American flag in public, what about the second-hand smoke inhalation (or what the Surgeon General might call “passive flag burning“) it may inflict on the rest of us? Shouldn’t somebody speak out? It’s not an issue of patriotism, it’s an issue of public health! Mr. Carmona, there’s only a “c” and an...
Are They Afraid President Bush’s Historical Legacy Will Be Similar To That Of Abraham Lincoln And Ronald Reagan? With the Senate having soundly rejected plans offered by the Democrats, calling for the U. S. to begin withdrawing most of its forces from Iraq, one might have thought there would be a momentary lull in...
From the A.P.: A U.S. Marine and one-time recruiter who appeared in Michael Moore’s acclaimed documentary “Fahrenheit 9/11” has died in a roadside bombing in Iraq. Although Staff Sgt. Raymond J. Plouhar willingly appeared in a segment of the 2004 film, his father, Raymond, said Tuesday that his son didn’t realize that it was...
At the Episcopal Church Convention earlier this month, Bishop Gene Robinson said something astounding. He declared, “The gay agenda is Jesus Christ.” I’m not surprised the first openly homosexual bishop in the church would say something like that. If the man weren’t looking for attention, we wouldn’t know he’s the first openly homosexual bishop...

The day of concern for the rights of smokers is over, they have no right to spread their noxious and deadly fumes. I long for the day when as soon as a smoker lights up, he is arrested for use of a deadly weapon. If a smoker asks, “Do you mind if I smoke?”,...
I hate to burst the bubble of some of you patriotic conservatives out there, but a constitutional amendment that would enable Congress to ban the desecration of the American flag is actually a desecration of the Constitution itself. Luckily, about the time I was finishing this commentary, the news came out that the Senate...
Once again, the New York Times has shown us that al-Qaeda doesn’t need to infiltrate our country to ferret out secret information that might help them. Why should they, when details of classified programs used to track and arrest terrorists are routinely splashed across the front page of what used to be a great...
SC: Suspect in killing of pawn shop owner seeks protection in Canada : “The suspect charged with killing an Easley pawn shop owner earlier this month has filed for refugee status in Canada. Roger Eugene Shephard, 21, will face cruel and unusual punishment if sent back to the United State because he could face...
Defending Christians Excerpts from an interview with Patrick Hynes, author of “In Defense of the Religious Right” Q: Quite a few people and even some bestselling books are saying the GOP is the party of theocracy. Any truth in this? Hynes: None at all. Conservative Christians within the GOP don’t agree on their theology,...
