To the Holy Father,
Thank you for your courage in speaking forthrightly and for inviting members of the Islam faith to constructive engagement. I respect your right, and the right of all Christians to speak favorably about our religion and to invite others to peaceful and meaningful discussion [...]
Michelle Malkin rightly expressed outrage over the ridiculous dress standards of the federal air marshals. More than a year later, it does seem that someone was listening:
The armed undercover officers who protect U.S. airlines against attack no longer have to fear being overdressed. They’ve been told they can ditch their suits for outfits [...]
Who knew… that creating a bidding war for leadership of the UN-led peacekeeping force in Lebanon would cause France and Italy to offer more troops? France, demanding leadership but embarrassed by its initial offer of a mere 20 troops, but apparently threatened when Italy rose to the occasion, first raised the ante to 200 [...]
We were not the only ones to express the opinion that Ehud Olmert should resign as PM of Israel. Now Irish Pennants reports on news that two thirds of the population feels he failed in the Hezbollah war. Only 29 percent believe he should continue as prime minister.
In a classic cross-over of our love of horses and politics, we learn that a horse at the San Franciso zoo has been named “Coulter”. This has prompted the question of whether the horse was named for controversial political pundit Ann Coulter. Given the proclivities and leanings of the San Francisco population, [...]
I know we have grown accustomed to bias in the MSM, both small and large, but that doesn’t mean we should just ignore it. In fact, we should call it out whenever it occurs.
One example is today, in which a WRAL-TV news article about the George Allen “macaca” controversy includes a headline [...]
UPDATE: Video shows news crew alive, and asking for release.
American reporter Steve Centanni, 60, of the San Francisco area, and Olaf Wiig, 36, of New Zealand were grabbed from their TV van not far from the Palestinian security services headquarters in Gaza City on Aug. 14.
In the video, the men sat on the floor in [...]
Another outrageous propaganda trick by Iranian backed Hezbollah is exposed by Andrew Bolt of the Herald-Sun in Australia. Hezbollah publishes a photo, claiming to be the destruction of an Israeli warship by rocket attack. However, as Mr. Bolt demonstrates, it is actually a photo of the Australian navy deliberately destroying one of their decommissioned [...]
A Pacific Blue flight bound to Sydney received a threat and was escorted into Sydney airport, where it landed safely. However, the passengers on the plane were forced to wait while the plane was held away from the terminal and searched for an alleged bomb, or other device.
All passengers were released and, apparently, no [...]
The UN brokered ceasefire is becoming increasingly irrelevant, or perhaps it always was a joke. There is now to be NO understanding that the UN will disarm Hezbollah in Lebanon (or anywhere else).
U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice was quoted in an American newspaper Thursday as saying that the UN force expected to deploy [...]
