If you’re the type of person who believes that America is the greatest country on God’s green earth and that it is the only thing that has prevented, and continues to prevent, the forces of barbarism from sweeping over the entire world, you were probably disheartened by Tuesday’s election results. That would put you...

It’s funny what a death sentence will do to a curmudgeonly and formerly defiant old ex-dictator.  From an AP article: A somber Saddam Hussein called on Iraqis to forgive each other Tuesday when he returned to court two days after being sentenced to death for crimes against humanity in another case. “I call on...

There are those who say that the recent seismic convulsion over John Kerry’s “botched joke” — which insinuated that the U.S. military is mainly comprised of semi-literate trash from America’s ghettos and trailer parks — was orchestrated by right-wing hate-talkers, was way out of proportion and was a “distraction” from the real issues. And...

Well, the good senator from the commonwealth of Massachusetts, John F. Kerry, is at it again. That’s right. That debonair, wind-surfing uberpatriot and well-known member of a certain “band of brothers” who gave it his all in Vietnam fighting for his country (right before he proceeded to trash every American serviceman there as a...

By now it should come as no surprise that Islamic extremists aren’t content to peacefully live out their lives on holy Islamic soil, but rather insist that the entire world succomb to the joys of sharia law.  Nonetheless, the things some of them say and do never fails to amaze.  Nor can one fail to be amazed...

  Do you get this Mike Peters editorial cartoon from October 20, 2006?  It sorta looks like Peters is trying to suggest that the stock market — and, perhaps, by inference, the economy — isn’t doing so well. But the last time I looked, which was the day before yesterday, I happened to notice...

To the too long list of things that anger and frustrate Muslims in this world (with the not infrequent result of mindless mayhem), here is something new. Now they’re ticked off about the 2012 Olympic Games in London. But wait a minute, you’re probably thinking. That’s six years away. What could they possibly have to...

Oliver Stone was at it again recently, tearing America and the Bush administration down over the war against terrorism. As is so often the case, he was doing it from foreign soil, this time from Spain, where he was attending the San Sebastian International Film Festival which was screening his recent movie, “World Trade Center.”...

Back in 2004 during the weeks leading up to the U.S. presidential election, a columnist by the name of Charlie Brooker, who wrote for the British newspaper the Guardian Unlimited, voiced two lamentations in one of his columns.  First, he lamented that Bush would probably win despite the prayers of “the entire civilized world.”...

Germany’s interior minister has condemned a leading opera house’s decision to cancel a production of Mozart’s “Idomeneo” out of concern that a scene featuring the severed head of the Prophet Muhammad could spark yet another violent Muslim frenzy. “This is crazy,” said Interior Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble, the country’s top security official.  ”This is unacceptable.” You...

You gotta hand it to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadgenocide — er, I mean, Ahmadinejad.  He really knows how to sweet-talk the American and world press.  In a press conference Thursday, while he couldn’t rightly say if he would comply with a Security Council demand for the disarmament and dissolution of the Iranian- supported terrorist group...

Call it the Vatican’s Islamic Derriere-kissing World Tour of 2006.  And if they’re not careful it could become a bad habit, sort of like Cher’s perpetual farewell tours. But at least Cher’s audiences love her.  The audiences for this ill-advised Vatican tour, however, will be a bit more hostile in that they believe that the...

Do you believe in coincidences? Actually, I do — but not in all cases. There are things going on out there that could conceivably be coincidental, but it strains credulity to the nth degree to believe that. Let’s begin with the fact that belligerent Venezuelan “president” Hugo Chavez has publicly stated his belief that it...
