Another Thanxmas shopping season, another collection of news stories about social retards who don't know how to behave in public... People in other parts of the world fight over food, water or religious freedoms; we fight over DVD players and toys Store employees are to blame when two women get in a fight over a pair of discounted pajamas.  Just like... ... Teachers are to blame because our kids behave like spoiled brats, little sluts, and junior gangbangers. ... George Bush is to blame when people too benumbed by corrupt liberal governance don't know how to get out of...

Because Evelyn refused to go to the second doctor's evaluation - they [ Adult Protective Serices ] ordered an Ex Parte emergency order to be taken to the nearest hospital. This was so they can isolate her as now her Power of Attorney (myself) and her care giver Dean can not have any contact with her - and she is hospital for the purpose of that second doctor's evaluation, court ordered and like it or not. We have been getting letters of support, if you wish to offer words of encourgement or ideas, etc. Evelyn S. C/O Dean Marinpietri PO...

"TURN OFF FOX," an anti-free speech, Marxist activist group, is forming for the exclusive purpose of stifling dissent against their "Dear Leader", Barack Obama. Their target? FOX News, the only major media outlet not performing as the propaganda wing of the federal government. Consider the following from the "TURN OFF FOX" website:

I have never understood the Sarah Palin attraction. Sorry. I just don’t I am a die-hard conservative, but Sarah Palin does not do it for me. Never did. When she was first announced as John McCain’s running mate, I cringed, but then reluctantly understood. This was a political “Hail Mary” pass for the McCain campaign. Honestly, what could the poor man do from where he stood in the polls and in the modern American environment in which he was nominated? Answer: apparently little, aside from dumbing himself down to the political environment of the times—i.e., try to match the idiocy...

Here is audio of the 911 call in the Tiger Woods accident that occurred Friday morning early. At times it seems the audio is gone, but just stay with it and it will keep going. . . . (AUDIO)

Las Vegas Metro Police Officer and Marine veteran Trevor Nettleton was murdered by alleged gang members during a robbery of his home, and there's some moving video of his funeral services. My question is how come this country is so behind the eight-ball in tackling the gang problem that is so pervasive. I do a lot of research into gangs, and I know that law enforcement is dedicated to the issue and routinely is bringing them down; however, it seems like the hydra's head and for every gang enterprise that gets busted another 100 pop up. A lot of innocent...

Astronaut Buzz Aldrin ( from Apollo 11 - First Lunar Landing), Michaele & Tareq at the Presidential Inaguration in Washington DC

Here is video of Pastor Rick Warren on Meet the Press today, where he said candidly that he believes abortion has been a "holocaust" in America since the Roe vs. Wade decision, a "holocaust" that has resulted in in "46 million Americans not being here" and voting today. Warren engaged in a wide-ranging discussion with moderator David Gregory. Warren said he is "not pro-Life" but is "whole life," believing we need to not only protect the unborn, but be concerned about the poor and disadvantaged of our society as well. Warren refused to grade President Obama's performance in office, but...

The Warmists are circling the medicine show wagons.  A plucky digital Toto pulled back the curtain to reveal The Global Warming Wizards as just another cabal of fudging humbugs. James Delingpole has a great summary of the fallout so far.  Here's a snark sample, where he lampoons one of the guilty scientist's excuse: “The use of the term ‘hiding the decline’ was in an email written in haste,” Which does make you wonder how the sentence would have read had he just had a little longer to type it correctly. “Hiding the sausage?” “Heeding the decline?” Go read the...

TMZ is reporting that Tiger Woods' facial injuries weren't related to his recent auto accident: they were inflicted by his wife who laid a smackdown on him. Tiger's "friend"

While the big gun media and American Secret Service are out there investigating “party crashers” Tareq and Michaele Salahi, no one’s telling the truth: Obama knew the Salahis when he was still an Illinois senator...

If you think Cap and Slave and WealthShare will become the legacy of the 111th Congress, the wealthiest bunch of elected officials to occupy the District of Criminals in history, you’re overlooking today’s good news: Food stamp use is soaring, and the personal stigma over being on the government dole is waning. Now, that’s the progress my hard-working parents always dreamed I would discover! The news is so impressive it demands a listing of the most wanted creatures wandering the halls of the Senate and House of Representatives. So, here are the 10 Most Wanted Congresscritters that immediately come to...

When DVDs first began to contain those now ubiquitous special features, those mini documentaries, series of interviews, or behind the scenes shoots, it seemed like such an exciting idea, especially for film buffs (or series fans). But now that they have become fairly common and now that I've seen a lot of them, I have to say that they are almost entirely worthless for anything other than time-wasting, disc stuffers. Did you know that JJ Abrams is a great camera shaker and is "the life" of the new Star Trek movie? Did you know that no one worked harder than...

I interviewed Dutch lawyer Eugene Sutorius in 1996 for my book Forced Exit.  I found him gracious, intelligent, and a quick legal mind.  I liked him a lot.  But he’s Darth Vader.Sutorious is absolutely committed to using the law as dynamite to create the broadest possible euthanasia license in his country, and indeed, I interviewed him because he represented the psychiatrist who won a Dutch Supreme Court ruling that assisting the suicide of the depressed is in keeping with euthanasia law.  Since then, Dutch doctors have been allowed to kill their mentally ill patients, but according to Sutorious and others,...

The Constitutional Structure For Limited And Balanced Government The Constitution was devised with an ingenious and intricate built-in system of checks and balances to guard the people's liberty against combinations of government power. It structured the Executive, Legislative, and Judiciary separate and wholly independent as to function, but coor­dinated for proper operation, with safeguards to prevent usurpations of power. Only by balancing each against the other two could freedom be preserved, said John Adams. Another writer of the day summarized clearly the reasons for such checks and balances: "If the LEGISLATIVE and JUDICIAL powers are united, the MAKER of the...

I’d like to specifically request that retailers all over the U.S. stop saying “Merry Christmas” altogether. In fact, I want retailers to remove the word “Christmas” from all of their print ads, radio spots, TV spots, billboards, and in-store displays and decorations. I think it’s the least we can do for our Savior.
