Yeah, I heard about this at work; Jim Quinn (a local Pittsburgh guy), Limbaugh, Hannity....they were all over it. I'm willing to bet there wasn't all that much coverage of this outrage in the MSM, though. I know I didn't see any (but then, the way I work it's hard to watch much news). They do tend to circle the wagons in such cases, though. "terrorist" becaus
LW: Mad Magazine is cool. Reader's Digest is not. Mad is cool....I like Reader's Digest.+LOL+ It's views are most often conservative, at least. In my opinion, though, Maxim is cooler. It has dirty and/or ethnic jokes, cars, gadgets, sports, beer, humor and half-naked chicks; all bases are
This is a question I have wrestled with for many years: what, exactly, constitutes "cool" in a person? There seem to be several different perspectives on what constitutes being "cool", depending upon the context in which the term is used. Two leap to mind at present. Being "cool" can mean having the ability to stay or act correctly and calm in a given, often stressful situation. It can also mean acting "correctly" (usually in simply going along) i

I actually think the perfume smells good but I couldn't bring myself to buy something with her name on it. ---Loca Well, it isn't like she actually did anything other than to give her name to it. It's not like she went out and picked out the combination of scents used to create the whole thing. Other people did that, real people with real liv

Paris Hilton perfume --Locamama Now, this stuff I like. I bought my wife some for Christmas, and it's just about gone now. More for her birthday this year, I think. She's their role model. How pathetic is that
Enron with the regulations in place scammed this country. --ColGene As I recall, Gene, Enron was well into its game all during the 1990s. Let's see.....who was president in the 90s?

Lindsay Lohan has figured out what she wants to be when she grows up: A sex kitten and a pinup. Just like Marilyn Monroe. Lohan makes this breathless confession in the September issue of Elle magazine. The subject came up when the Hollywood party girl was asked if she had any big plans for the coming year. She said she wants to emulate Marilyn Monroe and visit the troops in Iraq with Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton--even though it's not clear t
I finally got to see it last week at the cheap theater over in Weirton. It was only 2.00! I thought Brandon Routh did a great job. And I loved the subtle references, thrown in here and there, to the first Superman movie back in '78. Like when he saved the plane, he said something like "I hope this won't put you off of flying; statistically speaking, it's still the safest way to travel." That's exactly what Superman said to Lois Lane after he
Emp: First, good article. You state your point well. I disagree with it, but you state it well. Now, I'm no expert on this, or anything, really, other than eating and "Star Trek", but it seems to me that you're missing a good part of the point here. It's not just Israel. There's an idealistic aspect to this, too. Islam stands in opposition to just about everything the Western world is and does. We (most of us, at least) are C
and they really don't give half a damn about the Palestinians if you ask me. ---Baker No one in that whole part of the world does....other than for the political leverage and bad PR they provide against Israel. "Poor Palestinians.....displaced by the evil Jews! Kicked out of their homes! Left t

I guess you'll have to link to my other article to read the links. Sorry....duh. My bad.
The following was a reply I made to Cactoblasta in response to his comment, copied below....I thought I would post the whole thing as an article, because I think it says at least a little something about our situation in the world.---RW There were the purges in Bosnia a few years back and the religious violence in Ambon (which continues to this day). ---Cacto That was localized violence; I'm talking about an organized mass
There were the purges in Bosnia a few years back and the religious violence in Ambon (which continues to this day). ---Cacto That was localized violence; I'm talking about an organized mass movement. There is much more Muslim violence against others in the world than Christian. Muslims in Africa are enga
How come it was okay for a Democrat president to spend eight years dancing around the truth (much of which resulted in the situation the country now finds itself confronting), but let a Republican do a fancy little jig himself, in order to justify actions that now have to be taken, and it's a big deal. Gimme a break.
Neal Cavuto on NSA surveillance: “Yes, it is not great to necessarily hear they’re collecting our phone records, but it’s a heck of a lot better than collecting our remains.” This is one that has mystified me. First, off, if I wanted to, I could get a ahold of your tax records. There's a lot less privacy than you think.
To consider the same approach applied to Christians it would be akin to saying there are fundamentalist Christians and moderates; in such a world where do you put Catholics or Anglicans? ---Cacto This is true.....but when was the last time Christians, as a group, took any significant violent action agai
First of all massed protest aren't so common in non-Western countries. They just don't do it in Indonesia. It's generally only the heavily westernised (students in the main) or the highly paid who protest. Dissent tends to be spread through rumour or, when it's all too much, considerable violence. ---Cacto <
Indonesia. I think that says it all - I've certainly explained why it should to you before. It's the only Muslim country I know particularly well and they are very much anti-terrorism. ---Cacto Yes, you have explained it, but as you say....."it's not a premise I agree with". Silence gives assent. The residents of German cities and town
From time to frequent time, we are reminded by the MSM that, though Islamist violence (that is, violence in the name of Allah) is to be found the world over, that the vast majority of them are just kind, peace-luvvin', carnation-in-the-rifle-barrel, let's-all-join-hands-and-sing-"Kum-Ba-Ya", just-get-up-and-go-to-work-day-in-day-out-just-livin'-life folks. They tell us that Islamic Fundamentalism and the terrorist behavior it engenders is just an
why is it that the Jews have been despised, persecuted, and expelled from wherever they set foot, for thousands and thousands of years, if they are just 'nice, regular people?' I'd love it if someone could explain this to me without quoting scripture which relieves them of culpability, ie: God is chastising them.
and now with the so called war on terror, Israel has taken full advantage of the situation and as i have said in my thread seeks to redraw the map of the middle east ---Bahu I'm not much into the whole End of Days stuff, but many theologians accept it as one condition, or sign, of the return of Christ th
Why is it that you need to slam me so much EOIC? Is it who I represent that sets you off so? ---KFC Many people take the notion that to be a Christian means you have to be a doormat; that turning the other cheek and being "meek" so we can inheret the Earth are the only things we should do. Not so....sta
