In the back yard of scientific researchings behind the Great Storage Shed of the People, Iowahawk scientists successfully conducted above-ground nuclear missile test explosions under secure and many malt liquor conditions on early hours of October 10, 2006, at a stirring time when alarm clocks of the neighborhood have yet to clangle. To the impotent yappings of the neighboring gangster devils, Iowahawk responds: howl away, bourgeois traitors of Lakewood Mobile Home Court! Your pitious lamentations and cowardly 911-callings will never stop Iowahawk from the great leap forward into great and powerful prosperity, using his mighty quiver of nuclear-tipped cherry bombs...

BOSTON (CNS) -- From advice on how to live a life of prayer to descriptions of casual encounters with American tourists, Cardinal Sean P. O'Malley's latest effort to communicate with his flock is making a splash both in Boston and in cyberspace. The cardinal is documenting his most recent trip to Rome with a Web log, or blog, launched for the occasion: www.cardinalseansblog.org. "It was suggested I use a blog to communicate with everyone but primarily with young people, to speak to them in their own media," the cardinal told The Pilot, Boston's archdiocesan newspaper, in a Sept. 26 telephone...

Hi, I suspect the site has been attacked, because at the same time that I experienced the trouble (keeps recycling for UserId and password, when any request is made to post or etc. despite the fact that the site opens normaly); I started receiving Emails from the Mujahideen Shura Council, i.e. Al Qaeda in Iraq and its affiliates.

Victor Valley Union High School District Superintendent, William Weiner, said teachers need to learn to interpret their students’ body language. “Teacher should not provoke students by asking them for their homework, insisting that they take their seats, or that they refrain from using foul language,” Weiner said. “It’s their school too. We have no right to make demands on them. We can’t expect to confine them to a routine that they reject. And we certainly can’t stifle their freedom of speech just because it is inelegant.” Not all teachers are comfortable with the new “emphasis.” “They say it’s not a...

Last Friday night, I went for a jog to relieve some stress after I found out my department denied my application for full professor. There’s something about being turned down by a diverse committee made up entirely of Democrats that causes a young Republican to search his soul for answers. And, thanks to Muhammad and Abdul, I found them. I really wasn’t looking for these two proponents of the religion of peace but – all praise to Allah! - they sure found me. Of course, when I saw them riding up on their bicycles, I immediately assumed they were Mormons...

NEW YORK Eric Alterman, perhaps the first writer to get a blog on a mainstream national news site, has been dismissed after 10 years by MSNBC.com. "P.S., I’m Fired," he heads an email to others in the media. His blog, Altercation, however, will be picked up by the liberal site Media Matters. He will also become a senior fellow there. Alterman has also been a longtime columnist at The Nation magazine. He teaches at City University of New York. "I was hired before the 1996 launch by both the website and the cable station, and while the latter association ended...

September 11, Where Is The Anger?

Quote; "Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's Blog we dealt with last week has been hacked and defaced today. The defacement was notified to Zone-H by a group of crackers known as "Y Underground" that put down the website (based on Windows 2000 + IIS 5.0) using an attack reportedly based on a web application loophole (uhm... yes, another one). The interesting thing is that the Y Underground group is from Iran, and apparently they chose their own president's personal blog to post messages in support of Iranian nuclear campaign . At first they posted a deface page reporting only phrases in...

This would be like if the Bengals, instead of drafting Carson Palmer, successfully lobbied the NFL to give them a two-touchdown handicap in every game. Under this football-socialism, the Bengals would still suck, and the level of talent in the NFL as a whole would stagnate. So will the American economy stagnate if its losers don't work harder at winning, instead of lamely trying to get paid for more losing.

Charles Johnson continues to produce mind-boggling results in documenting the outrageous bias and outright fraudulence in the mainstream media depiction of the Lebanon war. Yesterday Charles demonstrated still more staged photojournalism from Lebanon by an AP photographer. (Charles linked to "Al-AP at it again with staged photos.") Other striking instances of similar phenomena at work are on display in "Leading BBC reporter caught lying," "Green Helmet Man admits staging photos, AP spins furiously," and in "Azzim Tamimi uncensored." For Charles, it's all in a day's work. Charles and Little Green Footballs are notable examples of what Professor Stephen Cooper of...

With all that’s gone on during the last week in England and it’s ramifications here in the United States, we should be happy to know that someone, somewhere, was doing some good old fashioned electronic surveillance. As someone in our government was determined enough to check out bank records, it was also revealed that some of the airline bombers were duly unemployed, yet suspiciously had thousands of pounds in their British bank accounts. But when those Islamo-fascists (our friends over at CAIR hate it when we call them that) act up, they now know they’ll have more time to not...

Iran's president has launched a Web log, using his first entry to recount his poor upbringing and ask visitors to the site if they think the United States and Israel want to start a new world war. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, whose speeches are riddled with anti-U.S. rhetoric, also described how he was angered by American meddling in Iran even when he was at elementary school. Ahmadinejad swept to a surprise victory in last year's presidential race by promising the country's poor a fairer share of Iran's oil wealth and emphasizing his own humble origins that led many to vote for him...

Before there was YouTube's crush of do-it-yourself video online, Josh Wolf was busy taking media into his own hands. As one of the Internet's earliest videobloggers, Wolf thrust himself onto the front lines of citizen journalism, uploading his politically spiked, home-grown content onto www.joshwolf.net. While bypassing old media gatekeepers — like editors and programming schedules — Wolf, 24, gained unprecedented access to the Web's global stage, but he also fast won notoriety for his attempts to democratize the media. Last year, Wolf earned the wrath of Al Gore's youth cable channel, Current TV, when he criticized the new station's hiring...

Just a quick post to tell you about an exciting new website: Rightroots. Rightroots provides you with a quick and easy way to financially support conservative congressional candidates... I have proudly endorsed Rightroots and I hope you will too, by visiting them today and making a contribution to one or all of the candidates Rightroots has listed. If the Democrats gain control of the Congress, “today’s environment” will seem mild compared to what we’ll have to endure in 2007 and 2008 – total gridlock for the President and for the country. I see the tactics of Harry Reid and Nancy...

There have been great revolutions in the political discourse in this country, and many of them have happened in the last hundred years. You can think of Fireside Chats, Cable Television, and the expansion of the Print Media as huge innovations effectively educating and enlightening the masses. In the last 20 years however, two new powerful mediums have emerged, both of which give not only the intelligent and entertaining a voice, but give the average American a voice. Let’s take a look. In August of 1988, a man hit the airwaves popularizing a new format of AM radio, now known...

An adjunct psychology lecturer at the University of Arizona resigned Saturday after writing to a conservative blogger she wouldn't care if his 2-year-old son was killed the way JonBenet Ramsey was. Deborah Frisch's comments on the Web site www.proteinwisdom.com created such a furor she has been lambasted on countless conservative Web sites. Her boss at the University of Arizona also received irate e-mails calling for her termination, she said. Alfred Kaszniak, head of the psychology department, said he has received close to 300 emails about the incident. "The majority were very angry and many of them were using similar kinds...

I have a web site on which I post information about myself and my business. It's a hosted site, and I have my own domain. I've been using FrontPage to create and upload material. I'd like to add a blog to the site, and would appreciate suggestions for software. I'm thinking/hoping I can update the blog without having to worry about overwriting the rest of the web site. Would it involve some sort of FTP transfer? Thanks.

Dogs of war incline toward caution, which after all is how they grew up to be dogs. More worrisome are puppies, who do not know what danger is. Gavrilo Princeps, the Serbian gunman who shot Archduke Franz Ferdinand dead in June 1914, was a puppy. So are the Hamas kidnappers, who at this writing still hold Israeli Army Corporal Gilad Shalit, and the Mehdi Army shooters who reportedly disposed of several dozen Sunni civilians in Baghdad on the weekend. The North Koreans, by contrast, are just nasty old dogs who long ago got loose from their leash. Wars start because...

***scroll for updates: the moonbat 'fesses up, loses her job?***Jeff Goldstein, who has been such an inspiration and good friend ever since I started blogging, is under attack. He--and his toddler son--have been the subject of abuse and harassment from a nutball leftist troll, who appears to hold a prominent teaching position at the University of Arizona and seems to have a history of abusing and stalking blogs. Some of the messages she left for Jeff: "I’d like to hear more about your “tyke” by the way. Girl? Boy? Toddler? Teen? Are you still married to the woman you...
