Can Edwards Carry Kerry Into The White House?

Well, it’s about time. I mean, come on, everyone knew it was going to be Edwards, so why play coy and make us wait? Edwards is young, has the right ideas, has face and name recognition, and is good looking (don’t underestimate the value of a handsome face in politics). It was evident from his strong...

Hitler Blitzing To Win Another Election

This little Hitler spot that the Republicans have going is pathetic. I really do not believe there are too many people in the world who compare with the “Little Corporal,” least of all Kerry and Gore and company. Still, effective media campaigning can win elections by alienating voters, one way or... Sign in to see full entry.

CIA Insider Book: Losing The War On Terrorism

A twenty-year veteran of the CIA has just released a scathing rebuke of the Clinton and Bush administrations’ handling of terrorism and suggests that we are not only not winning the war against terrorism, although we may have captured and killed quite a few Al-Qaeda leaders and a few thousand foot...

World Police Force

If you doubt whether the United States is the world’s policing force, here’s something that may change your mind. The Christian Science Monitor reports that last week Congress was asked to give the go-ahead to double United States troop strength in Columbia. That’s right. Columbia. Home of Juan...

Thoreau, Gandhi, and the Ruckus Society?

Ever heard of the Ruckus Society? Neither had I – until today. They are a civil disobedience society that actually trains activists and protesters. Of course, they formed in California (that was a given). But you have to love the idea. Only in America. Gotta love this country. Sign in to see full entry.

A Somali native has been charged with conspiring to blow up a Columbus, Ohio, area mall (which particular mall has not been revealed), Attorney General John Ashcroft announced today.

Addendum: I'm Telling You, Camouflage Netting Is In Order

The Earth Liberation Front is a little better organized than I thought. For more information about the elusive eco-terrorists, called “elves” (taken in context, the cuteness wears thin), take a look at a recent story in the Washington Post. This bunch is not to be taken too lightly. One note: with... Sign in to see full entry.

Don't Forget The Camouflage Net For Your SUV

Not only are we having to deal with the increased threat of international terrorism within our borders, not to mention plain old domestic terrorism a la Timothy McVeigh, but we are also having to contend with a bunch of neo-conservationist Greenpeacers-gone-mad. That’s right: eco-terrorists. I guess... Sign in to see full entry.

United States "Accidentally" Bombs France... Again

No, dammitall, not really. But one can only… Remember way back when we bombed the French Embassy in Libya by “accident” when the self-serving arrogant bastards refused to let us fly over France on a bombing mission during the Reagan administration, forcing our planes to fly thousands of miles out of...

D-Day

It was this date in 1944 that the largest armada of ships ever assembled crossed the English Channel to deposit enough troops to form beachheads in France to become the Allies northern offensive into Hitler’s “Fortress Europe.” This massive offensive beginning in Normandy would culminate with the...
