Barack Obama: Leader of a new Camelot or just a vacant lot

How cool is it to be a presidential candidate and have a network television reporter admit that it’s difficult to cover you objectively because, well, you’re just so gosh darn fabulous that it’s nigh on impossible for anyone to keep their head out of the clouds while following you around?
For the candidate in question, [...]

McCain's "Straight Talk" Express Derails in Michigan

So much for the conventional wisdom which said that the thing people liked so much about John McCain was his propensity to deliver “straight talk” even when it was stuff nobody wanted to hear. Straight talk is supposed to be a good thing because it’s another way of saying honest talk and honesty is [...]

Snow in Baghdad, but global warming rages on

It’s not often that it snows in Baghdad. In fact, no one can remember the last time it happened.
But just because it has now snowed in Baghdad for the first time in anyone’s memory doesn’t mean that global warming isn’t raging on unabated, killjoy climate experts are rushing to tell us. Don’t let [...]

Clinton comeback contradicts conventional wisdom, however ill-formed and ephemeral

What can one say other than, never count out a Clinton. Apparently, and spectacularly, rumors of Hillary’s political demise were premature and greatly exaggerated. After the Iowa debacle, the only thing remaining was the formal canonization of Obama and a potential lengthy stay for Hillary in a sanatorium for washed up power junkies.
Headlines [...]

"Exorcisms 'R' Us" is bad idea down at Vatican corporate

When you see a headline like “Pope’s exorcist squads will wage war on Satan,” you have to wonder who, if anybody, is running the PR department down at the Vatican.
Granted, this particular headline, which appeared in Britain’s Daily Mail, is a wee bit sensational, but that’s what the Brit broadsheets tend to do when red [...]

Enlightened New Jersey bans death penalty (extreme sarcasm alert!)

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 [...]

Iran's nuke program is history — sure, and your check's in the mail

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 [...]

Teddy bear tantrum in Khartoum

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?

President Clinton’s Special Mission For The First Gentleman

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 has [...]

Babies: Bundles of Joy or Planet-Destroyers?

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 baby would pollute [...]

Kucinich still trying to impeach Cheney (Is there a psychiatrist in the house?)

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 [...]

Battling global warming-induced hurricanes with diversionary tactics

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 mind [...]

Pete Stark goes raving mad on the floor of Congress

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. [...]

Al Gore: The man with a messianic complex and the Nobel people who love him

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. [...]

Next victim of global warming: the fashion industry

“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. [...]

Phony Soldier, Phony Scandal, Phony Politicians

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 [...]

One More Thing About Columbia University (hint: Somalia, 1993)

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 as [...]
