Today is Earth Day, a day that was founded in part by a murderer known as the "Unicorn Killer" (Ira Einhorn).

As head of the FBI counterterrorism division, Steinbach oversaw the investigation into the mass murder at Texas Army base. Steinbach made this claim during an unclassified counterterrorism briefing on Capitol Hill.

I've been pretty tough on Google. In my newest book, "Stop the Presses! The Inside Story of the New Media Revolution," I make the case – and, I think, a pretty darn good one – that the premier Internet search engine company is evil. I won't try to recap all of my evidence, but you can get a good taste of it by reading a news story prepared by my colleagues here at WND. What pushed me over the edge with Google, however, was clearly the way the company kowtowed to the tyrants in Beijing out of a sense of...
