Iraq War: Yea or Nay?

Reader Sara has been tasked with writing a paper on the Iraq War, and is looking for reason why it was the right thing to do. Alright, my experience concept of wether the War in Iraq is justified is one that is limited, and although I do care, a tend to be straddling the fence […]

Off topic Guardian

Anyone out there familiar with Italian? The Guardian post (cannot call it a story, as all I did was post the entire original story), made it into an Italian paper (blog?) Have tried a few translation programs, and I just am not getting real good answers. Il Guardian, giornale senza dubbio umoristico, ha ritirato dal […]

Great White Shark

This past September, several bloggers, including myself, made mention of a Great White Shark that had been captured and was at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. As of October 18th, she was doing fine. I am waiting for a reply to the aquarium, to see how she is doing at this time, though, if something was […]

Thar Be Missing Explosives

But when did they go missing? Were they even there? Mr. NZ Bear has a great article, and a good roundup of links, regarding the explosive explosives story. Seems like the NY Times, and anyone else that is sticking by it, similar to Rathergate, shall be walking the plank: A senior Bush administration official said […]

Kyoto Pact

Oh, boy. It seems as if the Kyoto pact just isn’t strong enough to stop rampant global warming. (Hat tip, Right Wing News) The Russians have signed it, but: “This mustn’t lull us into thinking that the problem is solved,” Pachauri said. “Kyoto is not enough. We now have to look at the problem afresh.” […]

Question on the Guardian:

I wish I had thought of this on Sunday, but, are there any folks out there who have access to either the Sunday or Monday (England time) Guardian? I am interested to know if Charlie Brooker’s “apology” appears in the print version. TIA

Brooker and Free Speech

Having perused many forums and chatboards at blogs about Mr Brooker, I have seen many a post from are Liberal friends, some of which are saying that what Brooker wrote was “Free Speech.” Well, Nay, it tis not. First of all. you have to be a US Citizen or a guest in our lovely country […]

Mr. Booker, Meet the USSS

And the bad news just keeps flowing for Mr. Booker and the Guardian (hat tip Drudge) Washington D.C.’s Secret Service is investigating Charlie Brooker of the UK Guardian. The entertainment writer’s weekend, anti-Bush tantrum, ending with the words, “John Wilkes Booth, Lee Harvey Oswald, John Hinckley Jr.–where are you now that we need you,” was […]

Ye Olde Hit(e) Countere

Wow. Being a sort of lower middle class folk in he Ecosystem, almost a full time air breather, to get 984 page views in a day is fantastic, with the vast majority coming after 8pm. Not bad for a Sunday. I would like to thank the great folks over at Powerline for the initial referal, […]

Wonderful People at the Guardian

So glad that some of the crazy Brits can chime in on US elections (yes, I know not all Brits are like this.) “On November 2, the entire civilised world will be praying, praying Bush loses. And Sod’s law dictates he’ll probably win, thereby disproving the existence of God once and for all. The world […]
