Yes, it’s true! I am a news junkie, the need to read the news and discuss politics is an intrinsic part of my mental makeup. Just like one needs the morning cuppa Java I need to look at, think and talk about the news. Having said that, however, I do have a few other – very strong – interests and, in any case, one has to take a break every once in a while, otherwise the ugly political realities can make you crack up! I like photography, in my youth I used to eat, sleep and ... Read Full Story

For way too long this blog has decried the incorrectness, the lies and the myths of Political Correctness. We all agree that hate speech is despicable, regardless of its source; we fully agree that while a country’s majority should rule that country there must be respect, protection and representation for the minorities. Having said that, however, to use euphemisms for what should be stated outright will only confuse and obscure issues of true concern. That confusion will equally affe... Read Full Story

I received the following email, yesterday, on Facebook. Please note the lovely sentiments expressed by the writer. Isn’t his lack of any bigotry, touching? His grasp of truth monumental?

The Chicago Tribune, who less than a year ago would wax poetic – as almost every other member of the MSM did, at the time -  in its endorsement of candidate Obama, wrote the following yesterday: A GOP health plan Democrats in the U.S. House and Senate have spent the spring, summer and fall grappling with how to fix the health care system. They’re still trying to craft a bill they can sell to Americans — or even explain in plain English. And the Republicans? Well, as the m... Read Full Story

Cat in the Gulf writes: The joy of tennis Can someone tell me why end of season women tennis championship is held in Doha?? Ah yes, that is to “further women’s rights” in Qatar and supposedly in the Middle East in general.For the uninitiated, the girl on the left is Caroline Wozniacki, Danish tennis star. On the right is a lady whose rights are about to be furthered by the said event. Utterly ridiculous. posted by Bravecat @ 2:27 PM 2 Comments: At 28/10/09 22:5... Read Full Story

Arab American journalist, Joseph Fara, writes: Truth about the Middle East by Joseph Farah I’ve been quiet since Israel erupted in fighting spurred by disputes over the Temple Mount. Until now, I haven’t even bothered to say, “See, I told you so.” But I can’t resist any longer. I feel compelled to remind you of the column I wrote just a couple weeks before the latest uprising. Yeah, folks, I predicted it. That’s OK. Hold your applause. After all, I wish ... Read Full Story

Jay Leno on Obama (H/T: USS Neverdock): Jay Leno, above, is laughing at Obama’s attack on Fox News. The President and his administration are showing the citizenry, at large, how vulnerable, how thin skinned they really are. As the San Diego Union Tribune says: Not only is it dangerous and wildly inappropriate for the White House — any White House — to start compiling enemies lists, it’s also not very smart. Government should not make a habit of insulting and isolating a major new... Read Full Story

It’s a standard move, in the game of politics, for each new administration to blame its predecessor for whatever ails the country. Conversely, it is just as standard to take credit for anything that may alleviates existing problems even when the time-frame of such cure makes it obvious that whichever the new administration it had little or nothing to do with it. The blame game, however, can only stretch so far and only for so long. At a certain point people expect solutions. The most ... Read Full Story

[I received the following in an email. It's an ancient fable - attributed to Aesop - that someone updated to reflect the sad new realities of America's internal policies, the unfortunate prevailing conditions that threaten to destroy this country and turn it from the "land of opportunity," into a third world entity ripe for tyranny! Read'em and weep!] THE ANT AND THE GRASSHOPPER OLD VERSION: The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies ... Read Full Story

The following editorial appeared in Kuwait’s Arab Times. I’ve oft quoted it’s Editor -in-Chief Ahmed al-Jarallah,. He’s no Zionist stooge, gentle reader, and while I many times times disagree with his views I find them fair coming from an Arab editor, in an Arab land: To Hamas the cup of isolation ARAB nations will no longer allow Cairo to continue its peace efforts with Hamas because the latter has been foot-dragging the issue, since it has a method to find excuses...
