In the last few days I have written several essays on BNN, but there is a common theme in them: that objectivity means honesty, and means that to evaluate anything honestly, you need to have some knowledge of history and philosophy and be aware of how bias can distort your findings. That is why I [...]

If you are a fan of this band, this is a must have DVD, if you are looking for Oscar award winning material you are in the wrong place. I liked the ‘vampy’ style, yes I did mean that. The obviously fake blood, the heavy thumping bass, and the really interesting ‘special’ effects makes for [...]

Who can resist a title like this? It is right out of the world of late night infomercials. I decided to ignore the title and just listen and watch. Well I liked it a lot, while there were a few ‘sync’ problems in the flow. It is hard to splice a gazillion bits of tape [...]

Yesterday for mother’s day, our extended family splurged and went to the local Pinoy restaurant at the local mall. While there, a bunch of overweight 30ish white guys with ponytails came in, dressed in shorts, Birkenstocks, and wearing a vest saying they were there to monitor safe elections.

But it was on the Wilderness Committee website that I saw an announcement for today’s launching of a boycott ofChapters-Indigo books. On the Wilderness website, boycott organizers were provided space to remind readers that Israel-supporters Heather Reisman and her husband Gerry Schwartz [...]

I remember Rick Perry’s victory speech that night of November 7th, 06. He was trying to project  confidence but it wasn’t really working.   Gathered at some facility or hotel possibly in Austin, the entire group of GOP attendee’s were celebratory but obviously subdued. Like a first place football team that had just defeated the last place team by 1 point.   [...]

Screen Captures is a feature written by…me. The fancy description says it’s a study of various headline “teaser” graphics found on cable news outlets that analyzes a sample for bias or note-worthy content. But really, I just want to look at what they’re putting on the screen and see what’s good and what’s garbage. For [...]

From The Gathering Storm Blog A recent leftist rant in BlogCritics Magazine tried – again – to place the radicalization of Muslims on our attempts to defend ourselves against the Salafist elements of Islam. What the writer fails to understand is that it’s not Salafist or any other orthodox form of Islam that threatens our [...]

Online versus On-paper? This is a battle that has been raging for several years. My own preference is; I don’t have a preference. Some things are better on paper, and some things are better online. I do believe that long articles are better handled with black stuff on a white background (AKA paper). Unfortunately publishing [...]
