"Violent" Olympic torch protests
|
The news media never cease to amaze me. Now we are hearing that future Olympic torch relays may be canceled because of "violent protests" by anti-Chinese demonstrators. The only "violence" I've seen has been that dished out by the police, tackling, assaulting and...

Four political parties?
|
Most people think there are two major political parties in the U.S. - the Democratic and Republican parties. But actually, there are four. When Ross Perot ran against George Bush Sr. and Bill Clinton in 1992, he split the Republican vote, allowing Clinton to win. In 2000, when...

UFO coverup in Texas
|
From the NPR (National Public Radio) website:
Faster than a speeding bullet — and bigger than a Wal-Mart.
That's how residents near the west Texas town of Stephenville described an object they spotted in the sky one night last week.
Dozens of the town's residents...

Media choosing the candidates
|
Dear MSNBC,
I'm writing to protest your decision to exclude Dennis Kucinich from the Presidential candidates' debate in Las Vegas. The voters should be choosing the candidates, not the media. At this point, most voters have not made up their minds, and prematurely excluding...

Don't tase me, bro!
|
Now that "Don't tase me, bro!" is the top quotation for 2007 (at least according to the press), here's a link to a version of the video that you probably haven't seen - it shows Andrew Meyer asking Kerry three very lucid questions, and the police...

Tecumseh quotes
|
Tecumseh was Shawnee Indian who opposed selling tribal land to the U.S. government.
"No tribe has the right to sell, even to each other, much less to strangers.... Sell a country! Why not sell the air, the great sea, as well as the earth? Didn't the Great Spirit make them all for...

What I do with my free time
|
Dear Federal Wildlife Service,
I don't think the rats on Rat Island should be poisoned or killed off completely. I think a predator should be introduced. You could introduce an endangered predator, and that would solve two problems at once.
I think birds are a...

CIA destroyed torture video

Supposedly
the CIA destroyed the tape of its employees torturing suspects to protect the identity of the torturers.
But someday, hopefully, there will be a war crimes tribunal,...

Top Marine speaks candidly
|
It sounds like Iraq is
the next country, after Germany, Japan and Korea, to be the permanent
host of U.S. forces. In case you've forgotten, this was very, very bad
when the Russians were doing it:
(AP) Marine Commandant Gen....

Newspeak - Defeat of a Dictator
|
|
It's amazing to me that ABC Television News ran the story about Chavez losing the referendum in Venezuela as "Defeat of a Dictator" or something like that. Chavez wanted to change the constitution, he held a referendum, he lost, he accepted the results. But in the U.S., Bush...

Illegal immigrant rescues boy
|
Here's a nice story
that renews your faith in people. This guy probably knew he was going
to be arrested, but he stuck around to help anyway. Looks like you can
still just walk across the border though - just lucky he wasn't an al
Qeda member...

Police torture man with taser

This guy was
apparently arrested for trying to use the UCLA library without a
student id card. After he was tasered, probably for arguing with the
police (that part is not on the video, unfortunately), they order him
to stand up. Having...
