Welcome! This is an unapologetic, agenda-free zone. Just commentaries on current events that’ll move you to think, laugh, rage, and even cry.
Last week, the news was saturated with simmering reports about the heat wave that had most North Americans suffering through Death-Valley summer temperatures. Therefore, I cannot blame 60 Minutes, the most popular TV news program in the United States, for capping those reports on Sunday evening with an opportunistic re-broadcast of its Chicken-Little piece on… Read more.

When this war began several weeks ago, I criticized Hezbollah for deliberately igniting it by ambushing and kidnapping Israeli soldiers in the North when Israel was already on an anxious military alert over the kidnapping of one of their soldiers in the South by Hamas militants. But when it retaliated with a blitzkrieg through Southern… Read more.
Regular readers of this weblog know that I’ve been unsparing in my criticism of Prince Albert II of Monaco, 48, for not only living an egregiously promiscuous lifestyle but also fathering children (2 that we know of) out of wedlock. But he incited my most indignant ire after he renounced the birthright of his black… Read more.
I wholly endorse the libertarian view that adults should be allowed to use any recreational drug they desire without fear of prosecution – so long as that use does not harm innocent third parties. And I have no patience for trite and inherently flawed moral arguments to the contrary, unless proffered by a bona fide… Read more.

But, after… Read more.
F*%king Jews….The Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world. [Mel Gibson…raw!] When I heard about the crazed anti-Semitic tirade Mel Gibson launched into after his DUI arrest in Malibu on Friday, I thought immediately about how he excused his devoutly Jew-hating Daddy as just a lovable eccentric and about how “The Passion… Read more.
Andrea Yates, a self-described “Fertile Myrtle”, said the devil made her do it; i.e., drown her five children (ages between 7 years and 5 months) in a bathtub several years ago. And, a hang -’em-high Texas jury bought it. But I wonder what this jury would have found if she had drowned only 1 or… Read more.
