Those pesky swarming Iranian boats

January 9th, 2008 | No Comments

A lot is being made of the Straight of Hormuz incident between the US and Iran a few days ago.  The US claims it was harassed and provoked, the Iranians said originally it never happened.  You be the judge, here IS the incident as provided by The Pentagon: Now that the whole world can see [...]

the death of Benazir Bhutto

December 27th, 2007 | 1 Comment

I am reading right now that Benazir Bhutto died in the suicide attack on her rally. This is awful news. I have heard a lot of speculation that Al Qaeda has focused on Pakistan since it’s getting its butt kicked in Iraq and Afghanistan.   That makes sense.  What doesn’t make sense there is attacking Bhutto.  [...]

The Proper Way to beat your wife

November 4th, 2007 | No Comments

This clip on Memritv to me perfectly illustrates the difference in cultures of “the evil Satan” of the West and “the religion of Peace” of the Middle East: Saudi Cleric Muhammad Al-’Arifi Explains Wife Beating in Islam to Young Muslims in a Ramadhan Show That’s just nuts by my standard.  If I could ask Al-Arifi [...]

That gunslinging Nancy Pelosi

October 15th, 2007 | No Comments

When the Democrats were in the minority, they badgered Bush to death as being a shoot from the hip cowboy ready to take aim at anyone that he had an issue with.  The difference now it seems is the Democrats are pretty much in the same boat, except there’s no logic to who they’re shooting [...]

Supporting human rights violations in Iran?

October 3rd, 2007 | No Comments

Congress passed another non-binding resolution condemning human rights violations in Iran.  Specifically targeting those protesting labor rights in Iran.  This bill passed 418-1.  Wanna guess who voted alone against this bill?  One clue, he’s done it before.  Yup, that’s right.  Ron Paul. One other person felt so unmoved by the plight of those poor souls [...]

Congress condemns the UN Human Rights Council

September 26th, 2007 | 1 Comment

In the form of a resolution, Congress took a hard slap at the United Nations Human Rights Council. Basically, it goes like this.  The United Nations formed a council to look into human rights violations and do what it can to assure human rights are respected all over the globe.  With the continuing genocide in [...]

Ahmadinejad goes to New York

September 24th, 2007 | No Comments

Iran’s president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is disappointed the US is not allowing him to roam free in the US speaking.  His logic for allowing to do so is something like this: Ahmadinejad said the American people have been denied “correct information,” and his visit will give them a chance to hear a different voice, the official IRNA [...]

North Korea drops out of the nuclear race

July 16th, 2007 | No Comments

Buried very quietly on most media pages is what I think is one of the biggest events of the year: U.N. Nuclear Inspectors Confirm Shutdown on North Korean Reactor On Fox, this didn’t garner nearly the attention Lindsay Lohan‘s ankle bracelet or Jessica Simpson’s boobs got. Not even close. However, when history looks back at [...]

Yet another bunch of clowns

June 7th, 2007 | No Comments

Every time the G-8 convenes, a bunch of people feel compelled to protest. More often than not they don’t know why, they just know they have to. Like you know when you have to poop, pee, and eat, these people know they have to protest. Case in point about how they don’t even seem to [...]

Exiting Iraq via Iran

March 19th, 2007 | No Comments

That’s a pun on The Onion. I think they know how many people like that idea. I’m sure Abuminajad ( however you spell that ), probably has that on his mind as well. That’s why he’s keeping us in Iraq. Gotta watch that Onion.  Those guys are crazy smart.
