If you fail to respond to all these conditions, then prepare for fight with the Islamic Nation. The Nation of Monotheism, that puts complete trust on Allah and fears none other than Him. The Nation which is addressed by its Quran with the words:
“Do you fear them? Allah has more right that you should fear Him if you are believers. Fight against them so that Allah will punish them by your hands and disgrace them and give you victory over them and heal the breasts of believing people.

It has been said that the heart and soul of the American economy is the small business. To that point it has been argued that excessive taxation, fees and regulations have provided barriers to the creation and growth of small business. The mantra from conservative radio and many business periodicals is that if […]

There is a minor kerfuffle in the right wing blogs about Michael Bellesiles being caught publishing fiction as truth.
The right wing has it in for Bellesiles, since he once faked data on gun ownership in early America, trying to prove no one owned guns then (and ergo the second amendment was meant to refer to […]

I have known the infamous Cobra for some time, we first met in the early days of the Haleigh Cummings case. People have tried to trample Cobra, but this is a guy that you just can not keep down. There are people that want to ruin his life, but Cobra is a resilient guy. I […]

General Mc Chrystal has committed a major breech in protocol when he openly criticized the President and the President’s plans for Afghanistan in an interview in the Rolling Stone.
For the sake of our democracy, such behavior cannot be tolerated.
He needs to be relieved from duty.
Why do I say this?
No, I am not a pacifist, and […]

The Anchoress, a blogger who should know better, has her knickers in a knot about the sentimental painter Thomas Kincade.
Kincade made a bundle marketing kitschy sentimental paintings to a niche market of Evangelical Christians who were ignored by the artistic community. And now, horror of horrors, it seems he was picked up for DUI. Quick, […]

The Middle East figures Obama is a patsy and is vieing for who can hate Israel the most (the reborn Ottoman Empire, or the reborn Persian Empire?).
At the same time, Obama’s oil spill policy gets ripped in the Rolling Stone of all places.
There go the baby boomers.
Time for a distraction, folks.

I was bemused when a minor lambast against “pacifists” trying to start a war against Israel led to this comment:
“…the Israelis steadfastly refuse to publish a list of allowed goods and appear to change their minds daily on what is allowed. Eg. Hair conditioner is banned at the moment…”
Oh my, no wonder the people in […]

When is a comic not a comic? When he takes insults about “dykes” and “c*nts” off stage, when he twice marches over to the table of two lesbians in the audience, when he later grabs the sunglasses off the head of one of the lesbians after insulting her at the bar, when he hollers at the lesbians outside as they leave […]

Where was Zoey? The lawyer for lesbian Lorna Pardy seemed thrown by a question about the failure of Pardy’s ex-girlfriend’s to testify at the BC Human Rights Tribunal. The question was asked by adjudicator Murray Geiger-Adams during last Friday’s wrap-up of a hearing into homophobic remarks that Pardy was subjected to by comedian Guy Earle, just after her then […]

It was a human rights hearing that at times sounded like an ad for Corona beer. A discussion with waitresses about getting a round of cold Corona was the first in a chain of events that led to a hearing last week at the BC Human Rights Tribunal, a hearing in which Zesty’s restaurant in Vancouver and an MC at […]

Usually Judge Napolitano can get into the details of the legal problems, but don’t get your knickers in a knot too soon, because this idea is not new. It used to be called the “US PublicHealthService Commissioned Corps”.

The food portions depicted in paintings of the Last Supper have grown larger - in line with our own super-sizing of meals, say obesity experts.
Let’s scroll down the article and find where they got their data: they examined 52 paintings […]

The political hot air and exaggerations that goes around the Internet makes one wonder if everyone is going to have not their “ten minutes of fame” but their “Ten minutes of being demonized by the “Liberal/Mainstream-Media/DailyKos” partisans or the “Rush/Beck/Tea-party” zealots.

In Psychiatry, there used to be something called a Rorschach test.. where they show you ink blots and ask you what they look like.
The idea is that one would “project” one’s ideas and worries into the object, and you could get an idea what was on their mind.
Sort of the equivalent in religious people seeing […]

President Obama, who has overlooked various pork barrel spending projects placed into unrelated bills by the Congress, is reported to have decided to freeze the budget to NASA to prove he can cut the Federal Budget.
To put it bluntly, this means there is no money for the proposed Moon landing under his watch.

I am fascinated by what the US blogs are calling “Climategate”.
It seems that one of the main scientific research labs behind Global warming, indeed the one whose data was one of the lynchpins proving “climate change” was occuring, manmade, and severe, had their emails hacked and put on line.
When the emails were taken off line, […]

We all know about the problem.
You buy a nice item, usually an electronic gizmo but sometimes a toy, and you can’t open it.
Knives won’t cut it, and you need sharp heavy duty scissors to cut it open. Yet even then, the cut areas won’t bend easily, and the edges of the plastic packaging are sharp, […]

All Catholic Filipinos have a devotion to “Mama Mary”. It’s a cultural thing.
Americans tend to be individualistic in their approch to religion, so tend to parse Bible verses. But the Philippines, until recently, was still a country of peasants, where religion was taught to children by stories and fiestas.
So Jesus was “Kuya Jesus”, older brother […]

Martin Luther King once wished that we could be judged by not by the colour of our skin but by our personal achievements.
