Absurdity, however, is absurdly out of place when it emanates from supposedly reputable international bodies.The United Nations has long been a prime example of the ridiculous to many Americans who regard that… (more)
Two Teen Terrors: Mitt and Barry I don’t know about you but I was neither a perfect child nor an exemplary teenager. I did well academically but I was often disciplined by elementary-school nuns who thought my childhood antics were inspired by the devil or by a devilish new invention, television. When I became a… (more)
Obama’s Phony Evolution Now that President Barack Hussein Obama has emerged from his political closet and announced he has resolved his long-standing confusion, indecision, and lack of surety regarding the morality–and practicality–of same-sex marriages, his motivations should be examined.

Today’s Updates: Dan Savage and Obamacare The ancient Chinese proverb, “May you live in interesting times,” is a double-edged sword meaning both good wishes and a damning curse.

Big Sticks and Big Boobs There are many truisms in life–realities that need no further explanations or elaborations to be understood. For example, we all agree that ducks quack and dogs bark and cats retain humans only as pets. There are also truisms in the entertainment and political worlds that reasonable people fully grasp as… (more)

Susan Sarandon Blacklisted! Susan Sarandon Blacklisted! You would think that with his past, sleazey connections President Barack Hussein Obama would be ultra-tolerant of fellow leftists-liberals-radicals but that’s not always the case, especially when they become an embarrassment in an election year.

Extinguishing Trayvon’s Bonfire (See “The Trayvon Martin Bonfire,” http://bit.ly/H28Eaf, which drew parallels between the Trayvon Martin killing and Tom Wolfe’s 1987 novel, The Bonfire of the Vanities, and “The Whitewashing of Trayvon Martin,” http://bit.ly/IZkzjK, which made the case for, well, Trayvon’s whitewashing.) From the outset, the media coverage of the February 26th, 2012 shooting of… (more)
The Mormons, the Romneys, and the Left A Roman Catholic, I freely admit I don’t know much about the Mormon religion aside from the Mormon Tabernacle Choir at Christmas and that Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney professes the Mormon faith.

Barack Hussein Obama Will Win Re-Election (Part Two) Part One of this very mini series examined some reasons why Barack Hussein Obama is virtually guaranteed to win his re-election bid.

Taxes: The Price We Pay for What? Just about everyone has always hated what Oliver Wendell Holmes long ago called “the price we pay for civilization,” taxes.

Titanic Excuses? The April 15th, 1912 sinking of the “unsinkable” RMS Titanic in the North Atlantic has become the stuff of legend, a tribute to man’s arrogance, testimony to man’s fallibility, and proof of man’s vulnerabilities. The ultra-luxurious Titanic launched on her maiden voyage from Southhampton, England one hundred years ago today with some ten… (more)
