The Media Trend One Paintball Does Not a Mob Make Another Example of the “Power of the Evil Internet” Another post from another “good” blogger, who also writes for the appropriately-named “Babble”. The only saving grace for her is that, lord knows, she was probably just looking for a “fresh angle” to the now-familiar story [...]

By Alfred Donovan of RoyalDutchShellPlc.com (Correspondence with Shell on 10 December 2007 relating to this article is published at the foot of the article) At first sight this appears to be an outlandish question to pose about the world’s third largest transnational corporation in terms of revenue – an oil giant operational in over 143 [...]

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Monday that federal judges have the discretion to give “reasonably” shorter prison terms for crack-cocaine crimes to reduce the disparity with crimes involving cocaine powder. The 7-2 ruling represents a victory for lawyers who argued that crack-cocaine offenders were unfairly targeted under U.S. sentencing guidelines. Current federal penalties for selling [...]

As a rare non-Harry Potter convert, the illustrious Potter film series always seemed a little less magical to me than it did to the well-read fans of J.K. Rowling’s treasured novels. At first I anticipated the films with equal fascination, but upon leaving the theatre after each new entry, I felt a little less inclined to see the next [...]

Oh, the European comedy.  What a love-hate relationship America has with all of Europe, let alone with their comedies.  They come from a land where trains are not some eccentric pet project of the nouveau riche, where people know more than one language, where life is lived in much closer quarters with the world as [...]

In film, there is something known as the B-movie phenomenon.  That’s when a movie is so bad that it actually becomes enjoyable.  The double feature Grindhouse which was released on DVD not so long ago really drew upon that B-movie legacy to create a modern-day example of the seventies exploitation films best known for their [...]

Below are several of a number of websites that spell out the details of Mormon beliefs as a religion that holds that it has superseded earlier Western religious views. http://www.religionfacts.com/mormonism/beliefs.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mormons – “A war is just if there is no alternative, and the resort to arms is legitimate if they represent your last hope.” (Livy [...]

Unready, unwilling and unable to ban the openly violent neo-Nazi NPD, the German government has now decided to declare the Church of Scientology unconstitutional so it can later not ban those wackos, either. Using the same highly unsuccessful techniques that allowed Germany’s highly high court to deny the banning of the NPD back in 2003, [...]

It is becoming increasingly clear that the titillating coverage by our media of the latest mass shooting scene by some depressed teen or others seeking suicide by cop is playing a primary role in inducing even more of these horrors.  The suicide information left behind now explicitly refers to ‘fame’ expected by the suicides to [...]

Apparently, the Philly Inquirer wants us to know that the GOP candidates for president are drooling, half sentient, Bible thumping, gun toting, racists. Oh, and Fred Thompson is stupid and lazy.

For months, the MSM has been deeply deceptive about Mormonism – almost as deceptive as Mitt Romney himself. It’s not just that the MSM is not asking the right questions. Since Romney announced his candidacy, the media has aided and abetted him in deliberately sidestepping or miscasting the issues raised by his faith. Writing in [...]

[What this article does not make clear is that the faculty member who has been barred from teaching biology by a fundamentalist college actually holds a traditional theological view of the relationship between divine creation and evolution -- pretty well standard with modern theologians, i.e. there is no reason why G-d should not have used [...]
