Congratulations, New Jersey, for joining in with most of the rest of Western civilization — and going against most of your fellow American states — and abolishing the barbaric practice of capital punishment. Kudos all around for the brave lawmakers who slogged through the trenches and pounded out the legislation for New Jersey’s enlightened...
It seems like only a couple of weeks ago that most of the civilized world was in agreement that Iran was engaged in an ongoing nuclear weapons program and that it posed a serious threat not only to the Middle East, but to the rest of the world as well. Actually, it was only...

If you happened to come in on the middle of a news report and saw an angry club- and knife-wielding mob of thousands in a city somewhere and they were chanting “No tolerance: Execution” and “Kill her, kill her by firing squad,” and you knew absolutely nothing about the circumstances, what would you think?...
In a recent interview with the Guardian, a British paper known for its anti-Americanism, Bill Clinton said that if his wife Hillary wins the U.S. presidency, he would be given the job of repairing America’s damaged international reputation. Here’s a paragraph taken directly from the Guardian article: “Mr Clinton, 61, reveals that his wife...
Ladies and gentlemen, meet the women (and the men who love them) who utterly disdain the idea of having children because– Well, best to let them explain it in their own words: “Having children is selfish. It’s all about maintaining your genetic line at the expense of the planet.” “I realized then that a...
Could there possibly be anything more absurd than the presidential candidacy of congressional munchkin, Dennis Kucinich? Actually, yes, there is. It is his tireless — and brainless — campaign to impeach Vice President Dick Cheney (also known as Darth Vader in paranoid liberal circles). And what exactly are the charges with which Kukucinich hopes...
Remember back in 2005 when Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans? Immediately afterward we were all told by those in the know that because of global warming this was going to become the norm and that raging, Katrina-like storms would be routinely ravaging the United States and other hurricane prone areas like never before. Never...
It’s pretty amazing what some unhinged members of the U.S. Congress will say on the floor of the House of Representatives in front of television cameras, God and everybody. Take ultra, ultra-liberal Rep. Fortney “Pete” Stark (raving mad) (D-Calif.), for instance, who veered far off course during recent debate over a children’s health program....
Only in an alternate universe should Al Gore be able to win a Nobel Peace Prize for his relentless ravings about man-made global warming and the potential for planetary doom. And yet . . . And yet he just did. Well, okay, he won it jointly with the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change....
“The fashion system must adapt to the reality that there is no strong difference between summer and winter any more . . .” So said Beppe Modenese, founder of Milan Fashion Week, in an interview with the New York Times. Another day, another revelation about the potential for global warming-related chaos and economic disaster....
Since when did it become a bad thing to call a phony a “phony?†Well, since Rush Limbaugh referred to a phony soldier as a “phony soldier†and the antiwar crowd thought it could make hay with it. The idea that Rush Limbaugh would denigrate U.S. troops on the air for millions to hear,...
Throughout the whole Columbia/Ahmadinejad debacle there had been something bothering me, some elusive but relevant factoid fluttering around the edges of my mind, but remaining just out of reach. And then it hit me. Remember an incident where a certain radical professor wished for something to befall the United States which he referred to...
After standing still for an initial ten-minute verbal lambasting by Columbia president Lee Bollinger, madcap Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad proceeded to tell his audience that Iran loves all peoples of the world; that Iran deplores all violence, terrorism and war; that Iran doesn’t seek nuclear weapons because it doesn’t believe in them; that women...
It’s just marvelous that thousands of black people — many of whom had zero memory of the evils of segregation and oppression because it was so long ago — were able to indulge in an event that reminded the older participants of the “heady days” of the civil rights movement back in the ’60s....

I suppose it had to happen to Barack Obama sooner or later, him being the only African-American in the presidential race. (Whoops, I nearly forgot. Alan Keyes just announced his candidacy yet again, which will no doubt put a lock on at least one half of one percent of the vote.) Anyway, the issue...
Are antiwar, Hollywood leftists congenitally incapable of patriotism for their own country? Hey, far be it from me to make any unfair, sweeping generalizations, but take as just one example well-known director Brian De Palma. He has recently made a movie about American soldiers and the war in Iraq that has reportedly stunned viewers...
Let’s say you live in the socialist, pacifist, nanny state paradise of Norway and you decide for some inexplicable reason that you want to commit a decidedly antisocial act like rape and/or murder. What sort of deterrents are in place — beyond the inherent utopian living conditions — that might change your mind about...
It’s pop quiz time, but don’t be nervous. This will be fun, I promise. Here we go. Do you know who recently said the following quote: “The word today is that an apparently unbeatable ticket could be Hillary for president and Obama as her running mate.” Now, if you didn’t actually read about this...
