“He’s a terrorist. Rush Limbaugh is a terrorist. You heard it here, ladies and gentlemen.†Joy Behar on The View, October 22, 2008 I thought it would be appropriate to include an example of the ridiculous (hence the title of this column) prior to eviscerating my fellow New Yorker, given the transcendent level of...
If my checking account goes into overdraft to a dramatic degree, obviously my bank would hear nothing of coming to the rescue with funds not only to ameliorate the overdraft, but to get me on my feet again. The same would apply if half of the depositors in the branch I use did likewise....
Two weeks ago, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation published a piece by Toronto writer Heather Mallick that sprayed far Left elitism like blood from a cleanly-severed carotid artery. In it, she described supporters of Republican vice-Presidential nominee Sarah Palin as “white trash†and ascribed more insulting terminology to the Alaska governor and her family. Which...
Members of Chicago’s Trinity United Church (the house of worship attended by Democrat presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama for 20 years) already had their Christmas trees up when members of the Chicago press circulated through the city, interviewing many of them as they mourned Donald Young, their 47-year-old choir master who has been found...
“This pioneering Alaskan may just be the one to lead her party out of the wilderness.†– Investor’s Business Daily on Republican vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin, September 4, 2008 And indeed she might be. Around 40 million folks tuned in to the festivities at the Republican National Convention in St. Paul on Wednesday, September...
One of the fundamental (though perhaps not prioritized) questions people ask pertaining to presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama is that of what his ideas are for improving the lot of black Americans. Whether or not he feels a special affinity for this group (he identifies as black, after all, and until recently belonged to...
In my local syndicated newspaper the other day, there was an article featuring a forum hosted by a nearby university for black high school seniors in the region. The annual event was calculated to inform and inspire the students regarding their options in the area of colleges and universities. It will become apparent how...
Whether one attributes the success of Democrat presidential nominee Barack Obama to savvy maneuvering on the part of the Democratic National Committee and the Obama campaign, Republican ineptitude, a biased press or the influence of shadow governments, in the end the November election’s outcome is going to come down to Americans’ capacity – or...
There’s an axiom in Recovery (as in from addiction) circles which asserts that addictions are but symptoms of deeper emotional or psychological problems. Leaving aside the debate as to whether this holds water, I submit that the tremendous success of Democrat presidential nominee Barack Obama is but a symptom of the broader disease: The...
In December of 2007, someone close to me was contacted by a company that had come across their resume on one of the large Internet job sites. They were contracted for a short-term project that ended in mid-January 2008. Toward the end of January, they were alerted by their bank (a very large commercial...
Just how much – if such a thing can be reliably quantified – relating to the presidential campaign of Barack Obama can be traced to his ethnicity? Some might assert that everything – or nearly everything – apropos the Obama campaign, save for the careful manner in which he has employed his rhetoric has...
If there was ever an election cycle in which the issues (at this juncture, really weighty ones) took a back seat to pomp and circumstance – or, if you prefer, hype and flatulence – this one is definitely it. With the exception of half a handful of worthwhile individuals who were destined to be...
“About the capitalist states, it doesn’t depend on you whether or not we exist… Whether you like it or not, history is on our side. We will bury you!†-         Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev, 1956 I considered titling this column “Where Are We Going and How Did I Get in This Handbasket?†but decided...
First, I suppose I ought to explain the irony of the analogy I propose: Weevils, of the insect family Curculionidae, include approximately 40,000 species (Encyclopædia Britannica), but the most common association relates to those species which typically feed on grain. Biblically, stored grain was literally the lifeblood of society, and anything which threatened it...
I broke this story last February (with help from a Chicago area journalist whom I did credit because I’m extraordinarily noble), and as I said two weeks ago in this space, it had its fifteen minutes and fizzled, which was somewhat expected given the mindset of the establishment media. The story of presidential hopeful...
“There should be an end to the occupation that began in 1967. The agreement must establish a Palestine as a homeland for the Palestinian people just as Israel is a homeland for the Jewish people.†-         President George W. Bush, January 10, 2008 Geopolitics is such a complicated subject, you see, far beyond the...
A rather timely occurrence transpired just the other day: Apparently, since the Iowa caucuses people are trying to secure everything on one Barack Hussein Obama that they can get their hands on. A gentleman who had stumbled upon my column “Obamination†(The New Media Journal, February 20, 2007) wrote to me claiming that he...
“We terminated the most precious American asset which vowed to defeat mujahedeen.†-         Al-Qaeda commander and spokesperson Mustafa Abu Al-Yazid, referencing the assassination of former Pakistani prime minister Benazir Bhutto; Adnkronos International News Service (AKI), December 27, 2007. Lest I wind up standing back-to-back with actor Will Smith tomorrow morning defending myself against...
“Nearly every American liked Christmas a lot, But the far-Left, who lived in self-righteousness, did not! The Left hated Christmas! The whole Christmas season! Now, please don’t ask why. No one quite knows the reason. It could be their heads weren’t screwed on just right. It could be, perhaps, that their jeans were too...
You say you want a revolution, well you know We all want to change the world… -         The Beatles, Revolution Ironic, if one reads all of the lyrics to The Beatles Revolution: Despite being left-leaners for their time, the tune almost sounds like something a conservative music artist might write today. Snapshot of America:...
