Despise The Actor Or Despise The Man?

Mel Gibson's tirade against the police and his anti-Semitic remarks have now become the talk of the internet. But do you boycott his movies because of his real-life actions? Or do you continue to support his movies (and, therefore, support the man financially -- although with his bank soaring into... Sign in to see full entry.

Dubya In Orgasm; Laura Uninvolved

Did anyone catch Suzanne Malveaux's complete evisceration of president Bush and his failed diplomatic agenda with North Korea? It was during a question-and-answer session in Chicago.

Why Ann Coulter Should Be Left Alone

Some think she's gone too far. Some think she should rethink her statements, even apologize. Alan Colmes, from Hannity and Colmes, gave her a chance to recant, and she reiterated. What has the woman said now that has everyone either admonishing her or condemning her (except for a select extreme...

Standing For What You Believe, However Unpopular, Is Truly Patriotic

I recently wrote this in the comment section of a posting by stbond, who was a little worried about potential backlash for questioning the current policies and opinions in America: Stand for what you believe, say what you have to say, speak out against tyranny and injustice. That is what the... Sign in to see full entry.

Forget The Video, The $150,000 Goes To Charity

Sarah MacLachlan, the hauntingly beautiful-voiced songstress, was given $150,000 to make a video for her song "World On Fire". So, she did, but she only spent $15 doing it. She gave the balance to 11 different charities, including buying an ambulance, medical supplies, livestock, and a generator for... Sign in to see full entry.

Unfair, Totally Biased, And Unbalanced -- Rush Limbaugh

I listen to conservative talk shows as well as liberal. It helps me balance things. I listen because conservatives, despite their reactionary views, pomposity, and backwardness, have something to say. And they aren't always wrong, no more so than liberals and moderates.
