Isn’t this essentially what our media is saying when it refuses to re-print the Danish cartoons of Mohammed?
This is a legitimate news story, and people have a right to know what is causing such an uproar among Muslims around the world. No one can make a fair judgement without actually seeing the cartoons for themselves. Hell, seeing […]
No, it’s not the start of some really trashy joke, it’s the start of some really trashy homophobia. That’s right, it seems that all three religions can put aside their differences for some good, ol’ fashioned queer-bashing.
Moscow recently cancelled its first ever gay pride parade thanks to an unholy alliance of Jewish, Muslim and Orthodox […]
But this time, you don’t even need to write an entire book to warrant the fatwa; all you have to do is doodle a picture of Mohammed (peace be upon him). What? All you’re offering is a million dollars to kill the cartoonist? Tsk, tsk. You clerics are certainly lowering your […]
After the Danish cartoons blew up, an Iranian paper vindictively responded by issuing a Holocaust cartoon contest (to get back at all those Danish Jews, naturally). So, how did Israel take it? Brilliantly. A local Jewish group has just anounced its own anti-Semitic cartoon contest. Both Jews and non-Jews are encouraged to contribute. To quote […]
Nice article here about the Bush Administration and the Federal Budget. Between 2001 and 2005, quote:
All four categories of anti-poverty spending — health care, food, housing and cash aid — grew by more than double the inflation rate, and significantly faster than under Bill Clinton.
If you want some potent analysis on Bush’s spending spree, check […]
Cheney claims that he can declassify classified information. Can he really? Read one analysis here.
Anything seem a bit out of place on the BBC lately? Try this sentence:
In June 2002 Britain strengthened its claim to be a thriving multiculture, as London saw the launch of a new translation of the Burda, an Arabic poem honouring Islam’s Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him).
Hmm, “peace be upon him,” eh? […]
Kudos to Sen. Jim Talent for being flexible enough to change his mind, and brave enough to go against the party grain. Some people (commonly referred to as Republicans) call this “flip-flopping” — I call it “not being a tool.”
The article I linked to is from Newsweek, and is half Jim Talent standing up to […]
It seems that another slew (and this time “slew” means “two̶ of House Republicans have anounced their retirement. Who are the most recent additions to the political morgue, and who dished first? Well, Representative Joel “the Mad Retiree” Hefley (R - CO) dropped the bomb last Thursday, but was no match for “Old Man” […]
I just stumbled upon a whole slew of (and naturally, by ”slew” I mean three) interesting stories from Newsweek. First, we have an excellent piece by Jonathan Alter about Bush’s politically motivated use of declassifying intelligence documents. Second, two authors dish out a serious reality check on the “capabilities” (and I use the word loosely) of the Iraqi National […]
