    Palin Fans Try to Rewrite History

    Thanks Dale... takes me back to Stephen Colbert's definition of Wikiality (Wikiality - Wikiality, the Truthiness Encyclopedia) Also, here's a good article on the Palin subject... History bends in the hands of ideologues | StarTribune.com

    The KKK had it right.

    It means that someone believes in Jewish conspiracy theories. ... of course, maybe we really do control the world.... bwahahahhahahahah! ... but probably not.

    4 Israelis shot dead by terrorists in West Bank

    On a little aside, I have heard a lot of people say this and I am wondering on what basis people make this claim. I would appreciate anyone's thoughts on this. I think that if one looks at the Second World War (The Blitz, Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Dresden, etc), one can see very little...

    4 Israelis shot dead by terrorists in West Bank

    What a terrible story. Every time that people start talking peace, extremists try to block it.

    Facing prison for filming US police

    I know that there are some good police so what I am about to say is not an indictment of all officers. Having said that, aren't there enough stories now to see a nasty trend in policing and the government's deployment of police? I'm not saying that we live in a police state - we still have a...

    Cuba travel gets new look, but ban stays

    I think that I read that a pretty big majority of Americans (about 65%) think that the ban should be lifted too.

    Massacre of 72 people in Mexico

    I should be clear Fieldy. I am not saying that we are responsible for this... but I am saying that we are complicit. That is, I am saying that our actions and decisions contribute to the circumstances in which tragedies like this occur. As for Canada and the United States destroying criminal...

    Massacre of 72 people in Mexico

    Do we see ourselves as complicit at all? For the Canadians, think of the ship of Tamil migrants... for the Americans, thing of your precious minute men.... is there any wonder that migrants have to rely on shady people. Of course, we have to protect our wealth and pool of cheap labour in the...

    Man held in anti-Muslim stabbing.

    Actually, I don't know why this is not a terrorist act. He deliberately targeted a civilian to express his political views and, I imagine, to contribute to the chill that is going on. Isn't that terrorism?

    The pastor organizing "Burn a Koran Day" arrested for child inappropriate contentography

    Hi Bill, I understand the presumption of innocence and its role in a "free and democratic" society. The point I was trying to make is that people seem to adhere fairly inconsistently to principles such as this. So, until the conservative element in American society starts respecting...

    Iran unveils 'unmanned bomber'

    I wonder if people would agree to just dealing with wars that way... of course, if they would, we could have just settled war with video games... or golf.

    Iran unveils 'unmanned bomber'

    The Americans have been killing people in Pakistan with unmanned drones for years, so it seems that the story is that Iran has something that other people already have.... scary stuff. War's a lot less fun when the other side can actually hurt you.... not like devastating an ill-equipped army...

    Fox News co-owner funded 'Ground Zero' Mosque Imam

    Or the story is about how some people will invest in a corporation that is about spreading speculation and lies because it is profitable... even if the disinformation is completely at odds with the very things the person supports in real life. You can't possible watch the cue card segment and...

    Miss USA Rima Fakih, first Muslim winner, speaks out against mosque near Ground Zero

    Jon Stewart Gives "Terrorist Command Center" Fox News a Taste of Its Own Medicine I think that everybody should watch this. I think that when Jon Stewart and Charleton Heston agree, it's something that people should pay attention to.

    The pastor organizing "Burn a Koran Day" arrested for child inappropriate contentography

    I don't feel like being mature about this, so I'm going to be clear that I believe that he did it. And, it saddens me that so many would still prefer to listen to this guy than let people practice their religion in peace.

    B.C. immigrant workers found in squalid conditions

    First off, I doubt that "everything that unions fought for has been made federal law." Second, many bosses break the laws that have been created. And, third, because in some cases the law is not enough and collective bargaining is the only way to afford to workers what the politicians (whose...

    On Facebook: Israeli Soldier posed with bound Arab

    I just want to be very clear about what I wrote. The intended meaning was a reference to those zionists who are unreasonable in that they can admit no wrong.... not that all supporters of zionism are unreasonable. I know MANY Zionists who can see things in shades of grey and, on balance, still...
