I watched a bit of the Live Earth Concert last night while channel surfing on our 106″ diagonal HD home theatre (projection system which only cost us about $1600 by buying the pieces over the internet) and I caught a bit of Madonna and other acts, but when Roger Waters came on in Trenton NJ […]

That was the basic idea, it seems, behind the gasoline and nail filled cars parked in downtown London.

The Immigration issue tore the GOP apart because of hardliners using ridiculously harsh and uncalled for rhetoric. The calls of “treason” and “un-American” and “el Presidente Jorge” split the moderates from the hardliners – who love to use disparaging names against moderates like “RINO”. And the result – the country is might lose Iraq at […]

The ARG poll out that claims nearly half the country wants to impeach Bush and over half wants to impeach Cheney is as bogus as they come. It must be a push poll with the some weasely wording, after a list of potential ‘crimes’, along the lines of ‘given these claims would you consider impeachment’ […]

Everyone knows al-Qaeda’s leader, Osama Bin Laden, came from an extremely wealthy family that runs one of the Middle East’s largest construction companies. But one of the myths of the western media is the root cause of Islamo Fascism is the poverty and lack of opportunity in the Middle Eastern, Muslim countries. The fact is […]
