  • Unreported Major Factual Error in Obama Berlin Speech

    <p>Obama, all his advisers, and the fawning MSM are clueless.</p> <p>As mistakes go, I would say this is the ultimate. A prepared speech (not an off-the-teleprompter gaffe), announced days in advance to the world. How is a mistake this huge possible? There is no chance he misread (misspoke), otherwise, there would be no mention of Belfast in that portion of the speech.</p>
  • D.C. v. Heller: The Court's Liberal Wing Shoots Itself In The Foot

    GOPusa ^ | 15 July, 2008 | David T. Hardy
    District of Columbia v. Heller was historic, the first Supreme Court decision to clearly hold that the Second Amendment right to arms was an individual one not linked to militia service. But it was historic for another reason: the sheer number of mistakes made in the dissenters' opinions. Given that all four dissenters co-signed the Stevens and Breyer dissenting opinions, this means that the mistakes must have escaped, not only four members of the highest court in the land, but their sixteen research clerks! Case in point: Justice Stevens' dissent claims that he holds true to the Court's earlier, 1939,...

    The Christian Post ^ | Feb. 27 2008 | Lillian Kwon
    Mars Hill Pastor Mark Driscoll preached on the still popular and still controversial topic of emerging churches in his latest sermon. But it’s an issue he normally wouldn’t teach to his mainly twenty-something church crowd in Seattle. That’s because Mars Hill attendants don’t use the language “emerging church” as many Christian leaders label them. The issue of the emerging church, however, was raised when thousands of people, who regularly tune into Mars Hill sermons every week through the Internet, voted to make it the No. 2 most popular topic they wanted Driscoll to address in a sermon series titled “Religion...

The fellow on the video is not a charismatic speaker, but his material is most interesting - and his passion for TRUTH reaches a wonderful crescendo at 54 minutes into the video. The following extract from Vatican II shows that the RCC considers Hinduism, Buddhism, & Islam as valid religions through which one can find peace with God. Of course, there are some Truths tossed in to disarm the...

Workers removed the error and placed a new warning with school spelled correctly.

    <p>The angry, anonymous e-mail was typical of a dozen other phone calls and e-mails I received last week. "Why in the article today about the indictment of (U.S. Rep.) William Jefferson was there NO mention that he is a Democrat? "In no other Associated Press article about the matter anywhere does it fail to mention this. There is zero disconnect from The Blade's committed left editorial page and its committed left news page." The answer is that while The Blade makes every effort to keep the news columns free from any bias, this time, our newspaper simply screwed up and made an unfortunate and embarrassing error. Ron Royhab, The Blade's vice president-executive editor, agrees. "This should not have happened. Any time a politician is in the spotlight, for good or ill, their political party is a relevant and necessary part of the story." Unfortunately, by the time the mistake was brought to his attention, it was too late to tell from the computer system which editors had handled that particular story, but I can assure you that he intends to let editors in charge of that department know how he feels about that. There is a separation between news and opinion. And while The Blade's editorial page has been harshly critical of the Bush Administration, I would not describe it as a "committed left" page, but an independent one.</p>

    A judicial discipline council has voted overwhelmingly to impose sanctions on a veteran Los Angeles federal judge who improperly seized control of a bankruptcy case to protect a probationer he was supervising. --snip-- On Nov. 16, the council ordered that U.S. District Judge Manuel L. Real, 82, be publicly reprimanded for his intervention in the bankruptcy almost seven years ago, permitting Deborah M.

    When painting the portraits of great figures in the history of Christendom, we have a distinct tendency to airbrush the warts. Hagiography is the perennial and natural temptation of the devout historian. When it comes to church history, the love that "believes all things" (I Cor. 13:7), does not always exhibit the serpentine wisdom enjoined by Christ (Matt. 10:16). The problem is complicated by the secular myth surrounding the study of history, i.e., that it is a value-free, neutral discipline. Under the cover of this myth, the secularist historian debunks various popular heroes from the past. This type of debunking...

    When San Jose police officer and military reservist Derrick Boler answered his country's call, the city promised to make up the difference between his military and police pay so his family wouldn't suffer financially from his sacrifice. When Boler returned home after 34 months in Iraq, the city handed him a bill for more than $52,000. City officials said they overpaid him by mistake and needed him to repay the difference in three years. With interest. ``I just about had a heart attack,'' said Boler, 42, an 18-year veteran of the San Jose police. Boler isn't the only one. San...

All of the prisoners had committed crimes that should have triggered automatic assessment for removal from the country and the majority should have expected to be expelled.

    An indulgence is an action of the Church which spreads her treasure of merits to the suffering members of the family of God. Indulgences: Spreading the wealth By Dermott J. Mullan I. Introduction Indulgences have to do with how God handles evil and good. To God, sin is always horrible, but humans do not always think so. The Church’s teaching on indulgences is meant to impress on us some of God’s horror of sin. The Church says sin is never an isolated event: rather, each sin has after-effects, not only in the person who sins but also in other parts...

    "Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be." Rom. 8:7 Our theology really reflects how we think about God. When we have poor theology it reveals that we are thinking wrong thoughts about God. Wrong thoughts about God dishonor Him. Good theology, then, means that we are thinking more closely in line with His revelation about Himself, and therefore honor Him with our thoughts. A.W. Tozer once remarked: "The essence of idolatry is the entertainment of thoughts about God that are unworthy of Him." I would...

Expedia.com, run by Expedia Inc., posted incorrect prices for two Hilton International hotels in Japan. Some customers reported prices as low as $2 a night. The agency blamed the mix-up on an "isolated processing incident" at Hilton. A hotel spokeswoman described it as a "technical glitch" on Hilton's side.

    WASHINGTON - The puzzling difference between warming temperatures on the ground and not-so-warm readings in the sky above may have been resolved. Atmospheric researchers studying global warming have sought for years to determine why readings taken from weather balloons didn't show the same increases as readings on the ground. The difference has fueled skeptics of global warming. Now, researchers at Yale University say exposed instruments on the balloons may be the problem. Weather balloons are sent up around the world twice a day — at local times equivalent to noon and midnight Greenwich mean time — and older versions of...

I wonder why Newsweek wasn't more skeptical about Quran-desecration charges. Muslims so venerate the Quran that they are outraged if anyone touches one without first washing their hands, let alone put it into a dung-hole. Compare the ubiquity of the toilet story with other kinds of Quran desecration. In my Nexis sifting I found only a handful of examples from the last 25 years: A...

The IDF withdrew from southern Lebanon in May 2000, 18 years after the Peace for Galilee War. In an article for the Ynet site today, Sarid writes that he originally "was not enthusiastic, to understate it," over then-Prime Minister Ehud Barak's plan to quit Lebanon. He does not explain why he objected - "I had various reasons at the time, which, in retrospect, there is no need...

    Natural disasters bring incomprehensible suffering. In this, they differ from manmade calamities. If you believe in free will, you can at least allow that human beings are capable of inexhaustible evil when they turn away from God, and that innocents suffer as a consequence. Even if God exists, free will makes the Holocaust, Pol Pot and Stalin possible. But when the plates of the Earth's crust shift suddenly, plunging whole populations into desperate agony, there are no moral lessons to be drawn.

    KIAWAH ISLAND, S.C. -- Hal Sutton can’t begin to imagine why Paul Casey would feel so hostile towards Americans – particularly the U.S. Ryder Cup team. “I can’t really figure out why he hates us,” said Sutton, who captained the U.S. side in a losing effort two months ago. “I thought we were pretty good sports at Detroit." A headline quoting Casey in Wednesday’s The Mirror newspaper read: “Americans are stupid. I hate them.” Casey also used “hate” in expressing his feelings towards the U.S. Ryder Cup team. He later backed off those statements, apologizing for using such an explosive...

    Ever wonder where that stupid "margin of error" thingy comes from? Here's a quick primer for the curious and the masochistic: The infamous "margin" comes directly from the formula for the 95% confidence interval for a sample proportion. Before getting to that, let's define a couple of terms: P => the REAL population proportion p => the observed proportion in a random sample of the population n => the sample The margin of error arises from the fact that a limited random sample may not reflect reality. To illustrate, think about a simple experiment: Flip a fair coin (where the...

    Wrong Vaccine Leads To Cancellation Of Several Flu Clinics POSTED: 5:12 pm EDT October 19, 2004 ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- The rush for flu shots in Central Florida became worse on Tuesday afternoon. Several scheduled clinics are now cancelled. The "Get Healthy Florida" program realized they have thousands of doses of the wrong vaccine, one that is not FDA approved. The shots were supposed to be given to people considered high-risk. Last year the same events drew thousands of people and long lines. Of course, you didn't have to be high risk last year. But the revelation that they had...
  • Newsweek poll sample may be skewed to overstate Pacific coast voters

    Many of you will be hearing the spin today about the Newsweek poll that suggests Kerry has erased Bush's lead. You can "pop up" the results of that poll here: http://www.pollingreport.com/wh04gen.htm and the web article discussing the results here: http://msnbc.msn.com/id/6159637/site/newsweek/ I am going to present evidence that it is likely that there are problems with the sampling of the poll. If you navigate to the PollingReport.com page link above you will see the following quote included: "Sept. 30 interviewing limited to Pacific and Mountain time zones, after the presidential debate concluded." This poll was conducted over three nights, Sept. 30...
