Most people didn’t realize the friendship, or didn’t accept it, or didn’t know about the friendship. You know, Ronny was so identified with the Republican Party. And Teddy obviously with the Democrat Party. But that doesn’t make any difference, Larry, really. It shouldn’t make any difference. I’m afraid it does now, but it shouldn’t. They […]
During the holy month of Ramadan, Muslims fast from dawn to dusk, and they pray. During this time, there is increased demand for prayer space. In Virginia, a Jewish synagogue has opened its doors to Muslims for their prayers. While this might seem newsworthy — in light of the ongoing Arab/Israeli conflict — it is […]
Not really torture, just a good prank: From Wikipedia: On December 1, 2005, Yoo appeared in a debate in Chicago with University of Notre Dame law professor Doug Cassel. During the debate Cassel asked Yoo, “If the president deems that he’s got to torture somebody, including by crushing the testicles of the person’s child, there […]
Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia seems to think that being innocent is not enough reason to not be executed, as long as the trial was “full and fair”. In the case in question, seven of the nine witnesses who identified Troy Anthony Davis as the man who shot police officer Allen MacPhail have changed their […]
Four weeks ago, I wrote a post “Real Health Reform or Nothing!” that made the case that if we can’t get real health care reform, then progressives in Congress should vote to kill the bill. At the time, I received some emails from people who implied that I was crazy. So, yesterday, FireDogLake posted “Without […]
With the UK economy in shambles, everyone expected the Labour Party, headed by Prime Minister Gordon Brown, to be defeated soundly in the next elections there. However, US Republican Party attacks on the British National Health Service as part of their campaign to discredit US health care reform are receiving wide coverage there and are […]
Bollywood film star Shah Rukh Khan was questioned for over an hour in Newark airport before boarding a flight for Chicago, allegedly because he had a Muslim name. Ironically, Khan is in the US to promote a film on racial profiling. What I find annoying about this incident is that he was released after two […]
Jon Stewart catches Glenn Beck lying out of his ass!
The man who donated the original money to put the proposition that banned same-sex marriage on the ballot in California is now involved in a very messy divorce to his wife of 43 years. At the time he donated the money ($125,000) to gather the signatures for Proposition 8, Doug Manchester said “my Catholic faith […]
A company in Salt Lake City has announced a new battery that can store enough energy to run your house, and is cheap enough (projected cost $2,000) and has a long enough life (10 years) to make it practical and profitable. The new battery would make it economical for homes to generate and store their […]
[It’s] under the guise of quote, volunteerism, but it’s not volunteers at all. It’s paying people to do work on behalf of government. There are provisions for what I would call re-education camps for young people, where young people get trained in the philosophy the government puts forward and then they have to go work […]
People who are fighting for health care reform should learn a lesson from their opponents and become less reality based. To help this, I modestly propose ten talking points that show how health care reform can appeal to everyone, including conservatives, insurance companies, and even the media: Health care reform will immensely help the conservative […]
Hal Turner is a white nationalist who promotes (among other things) the rounding up and killing of Jews. He also worked for Pat Buchanan’s presidential campaign, served as campaign manager for libertarian party candidate Murray Sabrin, and was even a friend of Sean Hannity (even though Sean later tried to deny it). He also runs […]
