Journalists can be such ignoramouses. Check out this hyperventilating piece about a ground station in New Zealand, which one writer attempts to understand in the most hillarious ways. In fact, some of this is a direct rip-off of Wikipedia’s entry on the site. My favorite line is this one: Its two satellite interception dishes (shielded […]

Graphic Warning – Pictures of Carnage When are we as a nation going to take the media to task for publishing staged propaganda as if it was news. Check out this AP photo at Yahoo of a picture of a young girl laying ‘in the rubble’ of a mosque. Clearly there is no dirt or […]

Folks on the internet (welcome to the brave new world) and fair and balanced news organizations have been working to understand the Qana quandry. The attacks happened between 12 and 1 AM, and people evacuate. Then some ‘poor’ people take shelter and the building collapses. But as bodies are pulled from the ‘rubble’ pictures show […]

Update:Now there are questions as to when the building collapsed (H/T to readers and other sites like Hot Air). Did Hezbollah do more than entice an Isreali attack? Did they stage the attack including the demolition and killing? Which news agencies were first on the scene to cover this eleborate event? Update: Israel will be […]

The liberals and the EU/UN bureacrats better hope Bush and company are right and a new Middle East is capable of arising from today’s conflict. They better hope a new future is around the corner where democracy and freedoms mellow a cesspool of leftover autocratic rules and antiquated notions of humanities role in the grand […]

When the bombings in Bombay (Mumbia actually) were first coming across the news wires I had noted earlier attacks in the day which preceeded the bombings and appeared to be a diversionary attack to distract security forces which were on alert for a possible attack. I felt this kind of planning and the precision of […]

Pictures have been smuggled out of Lebanon showing Hezbollah cowards dressed in civilian clothes manning their artillery and launch pads, evidence that the Hezbollah fighting force truly hides behind the skirts of their women. The Melbourne man who smuggled the shots out of Beirut and did not wish to be named said he was less […]

Interesting news breaking from Afghanistan. Seems the US has captured 4 key Al Qaeda planners in Afgahnistan. The other news is 18 Taliban have been killed in operations across the country. While the terrorists are attempting a push back, it seems that it could be faltering. US-led troops arrested four suspected Al-Qaeda militants in a […]

The GOP have just stolen a big issue right out from under the Democrats by passing a minimumn wage hike (first in 9 years, so there is plenty of cost-of-living room to raise this safely) along with making permanent a series of middle class tax cuts that are just common sense (like education tax deduction).

The news media are so easily manipulated you would think they have the common sense to at least be embarrassed about it. We have an election coming in the US. Bush’s poll numbers are down and his party would NORMALLY be expected to lose seats in Congress. The Jihadists and far left in this country […]
