New Horizons Jovian Visit

Just like when you go on holiday somewhere, there are always great sights along the way. Rarely do we just keep our heads down in the car. The same can be said for the New Horizons mission, currently en route for the newly christened dwarf planet Pluto and its three moons, Charon, Nix and Hydra

Google Street View Adds Six More Cities

One of the hits of the Web 2.0 revolution has without a doubt been Google Earth. The ability to zoom in on almost any city or landmark in the world, up to -- for the most part -- a pretty decent resolution, has helped stem the boredom for many a tired employee on a Friday afternoon. And with the addition of Google's Street View, the fun only continued to grow

iPods and Laptops Owe their Allegiance to Nobel Prize Winners

Many in the world take the fact that their little iPod or laptop is capable of holding "just so much" music or information. They don't really take all that much notice of the fact that, inside such a small device, is the technological know-how and ingenuity of a decade's worth of technological progress.

Can A Christian Pray To Allah

George W. Bush was twice elected President of the United States with great assistance from evangelical Christians, who, almost universally, believed he was a born-again believer. Many still hold onto that belief. In fact, evangelical Christians compose the bulk of the ever-shrinking base of support Bush has left. This is due almost exclusively to this belief that Bush is a born-again Christian.

The Dangers Of Canada’s Multiculti Kool Aid Bender

Attempting to pass a liberal opponent by veering over to the far-left side of the political spectrum is what we conservative strategists technically call "electoral suicide". But obviously that doesn't stop some people--like Ontario Conservative leader, John Tory, currently running for the Canadian province's top job in this week's elections. Sounds like someone took a few too many swigs of the multiculti Kool Aid--even managing to drink the Liberal incumbent under the table, which is quite the feat.

Jesus to Judas

For 15 years, Michel Aoun and the Free Patriotic Movement were the symbol, the inspiration, and the dream of Free Lebanon. The flame was kept alive through the few pure souls who believed in something greater than themselves; Free Lebanon. During those dark years, Michel Aoun was revered as our Nelson Mandela, or Che Guevara, our George Washington.

Barroso and Bilderberg to the Rescue of Belgium. Will the UK Be Ousted from the EU

Today, day 119 since the general elections of June 10th, Belgium still has no government. Belgium's politicians, however, expect the country to have a new government soon. Yves Leterme, the leader of the Flemish Christian-Democrats, who last week was reappointed as "formateur" (Prime Minister Designate) by Belgium's King Albert II, knows that he has no choice but to succeed in forming a government. If he does not, his political career is over. Mr Leterme, who won last June's elections on a pro-Flemish platform, will have to withdraw all the Flemish demands because the Walloon politicians have vetoed them all.

Mission to Mars to be undertaken by humans or robots?

For the past year or so we've finally seen an uptick in the amount of interest given to space exploration. The Asian space race is on with Japan, China and India seemingly all competing against each other. NASA continue to make strides as they explore past the galaxies outer limit with Voyager and closer to home begin preparations for the James Webb Space Telescope. Now Google has entered the fray by creating the Google Lunar X Prize, putting $30 million up for the first to send information back from the Moon via an unmanned robot.

A Giuliani Nomination Dooms The GOP And Maybe America

This past week, I was interviewed by best-selling author and World Net Daily columnist Jerome Corsi. The subject of the interview was the potential conservative Christian response to the possibility that Rudy Giuliani would gain the Republican nomination for President next year. (We also discussed the cozy connection between the Bush and Clinton families, which will probably be dealt with in a future Corsi column.)
