Someone has produced a very detailed analysis of the media’s bias, lack of curiousity and lack of skepticism in reporting on the Litvinenko story. Thankfully they provided a summary so I do not have to post lots of exceprts. This report will show that… …many headlines and storylines in this story have no apparent basis […]

It seems as more and more hype is thrown around the THEORY of Man-Made Global Warming, the scientific community is in full retreat from the wild and unsubstantiated claims from the UN IIPC group – which is the center of the M-MGW view. Now someone has come out and catalogued this flight of top level […]

Bill O’Reilly has become another example of the far right, Immigration Hypochondriacs running into the sewer because they have lost their minds and the argument on the comprehensive immigration bill supported by large majorities since it includes both border protection and a guest worker program. Jerks like O’Reilly cannot tolerate the guest worker program with […]

While I focus on the Immigration Hypochondriacs, I should point out some of those on the other side of the debate. Harold Hutchison has a good post out on how American it is to dissent when some want to go off the deep end. And so while the hypochondriacs cry “anti-american” we see the fact […]

Bush has proposed incentives for reducing CO2 emissions. Bush is proposing incentives and rewards, not mandatory levels and fines. Limiting CO2 production is not a bad thing. Pretending it will effect the global environment or the warming or cooling of the Earth is ridiculous. The science is completely mixed with the record actually showing CO2 […]

While the far right is obsessed with halting all progress on immigration until the guest workers get more punishment (which is apparently more important than the actual violent criminals we could deport under the new bill) we cannot let their lack of focus distract us from the real enemy out there.

Our new Sunni allies in Iraq are proving to be a potent force. They clearly have the edge in that they know who the foreigners are fighting for al Qaeda. And they seem to be doing a bang up job of eradicating al Qaeda from Iraq: A senior Al-Qaeda commander in Fallujah was shot dead […]
