No Offense Intended, But…

Lord knows that I am no flame-throwing anarchist who stumbles about saying and doing things only to irritate good people. That is not my modus operandi, regardless of what creditors and my ex-wife may be charging.

Leftist Foe of Dr. Michael Savage Indicted on Child Porn

Radio icon Michael Savage has been in the cross hairs of anti-American wackos for most of 2007. From illegal aliens who should not even be in America, to Islamofascists and their terror cover group known as CAIR, to the leftist nut balls seated on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, Dr. Savage has been unfairly assaulted, maligned, and abused with impunity.

Earth’s Tropics Growing

The changing climate affecting much of our planet continues to have weird results. The latest to become evident is the expansion of our planet’s tropical belt, according to a study published this Sunday in Nature Geoscience.

Europe’s Power Problem’s to be solved by Africa?

In a weird turn of events, it looks as if Africa – the continent to be worst hit by global warming and climate changes – could help provide clean energy, to Europe. It is one of those poetic turns that just make you all happy inside.

It’s all about me!

It’s entirely possible that the “baby-boom” generation are the worst parents in the history of mankind as a significant percentage of their progeny are growing up to be unfeeling, psychopathic narcissists. A classic example is “art student” Thorarin Ingi Jonsson whose 15 minutes of fame came about as a result of a fake bomb scare he called in to the Royal Ontario Museum just as an AIDS fundraiser was about to start. According to Jonsson, this was an “art project” and it resulted in the Aids fundraiser being cancelled as the ROM had to be evacuated.

Robert Latimer:  Canada’s Cindy Sheehan

Robert Latimer was denied day parole earlier this week. The Saskatchewan farmer is serving a life sentence with no possibility of parole for 10 years for the murder of his 12-year-old daughter, Tracy. Latimer and his wife had trouble caring for Tracy who was severely disabled and so in October 1993 he did what any loving parent would have done. He placed his daughter in the cab of his pickup truck and pumped the cab full of exhaust fumes. Shy and not wanting to have to handle the array of accolades that were sure to be bestowed upon him for his brave act, Latimer put the child’s body in her bed and waited for his wife to return from church to discover the death.

Joe McCarthy Freedom Fighter

A couple of years ago, I debated a professor from American University named John Doolittle who, prompted by me, admitted that Senator Joseph R. McCarthy, R-Wisconsin (1909-1957), may have exposed some real communists working in the federal government. “But I saw the Edward R. Murrow broadcasts,” Dr. Doolittle added. “He was a bad man.”

NIE report fails to explain retreat on nuclear weapons

There's lots to wonder about in the Key Judgments of the latest National Intelligence Estimate, which informs us with "high confidence" that Iran halted its nuclear bomb program four years ago. This contradicts its 2005 warning that Iran was "determined to develop nuclear weapons." That followed the 2003-2004 zig-zag from our intelligence community on Iraq and Saddam Hussein's interest in weapons of mass destruction; which followed the intelligence failure to zero in on the Sept. 11, 2001, hijackers before they slammed airplanes into the Twin Towers, the Pentagon, and a field in Pennsylvania.

Sports Roundup

Well it looks like Simon Frasier and UBC will be making Canadian football history, when in 2009, they will allowed to play in the US-based, NCAA football conference. The two western-based Canadian universities are to be the first two teams to be admitted into the NCAA in a 10-year pilot program to allow teams from foreign soil to participate. It'll be a great boost for Canadian based schools to start offering full scholarships for Canadian talen, and if successful will boost player development in Canada by leaps and bounds.

The Lack of Exploding Santa Explained

It was only last week that a friend of mine was extolling the joys of teaching the younger year levels at Christmas time. You will always find one or two bullies, intent on robbing the young ones of their Christmas dreams. “Santa’s not real,” they’d call, “it’s just your parents!”

An Intelligent Assessment of the National Intelligence Estimate

Upon watching the politically motivated reaction to the recent so-called “intelligence” update concerning Iran’s nuclear ambitions, I couldn’t sit idle as one more report becomes just another campaign tool used to mislead American voters as well as friends and foes around the world.

It is the time for testing

Lawmakers in Washington need to be alarmed and alert as they consider the nominee to be the next attorney general. From an objective external perspective, the United States Department of Justice seems to be adrift and to be quickly losing its way in the routine prosecution of ordinary transnational crime.

This is America, speak Spanish

I find it annoying to call a telephone number and have to press 1 to proceed in English. It seems to me that our national language should routinely be used and callers wishing an alternative should be the ones to select a number.

Our Lame, Dumb President and World War III

Back in October, President Bush rattled U.S. sabers and much of the world by announcing the final legacy item for his remaining time in office: Execution of World War III, based on W's nightmares about Iran owning a nuclear weapon.

Huckabee Supports Special Rights for Terrorists
