Welcome! This is an unapologetic, agenda-free zone. Just commentaries on current events that’ll move you to think, laugh, rage, and even cry.
Claims about Jesus being married are becoming as farcical as claims about Obama being foreign. Granted, this latest claim has more of a patina of credibility because it stems from research conducted by Harvard Divinity School Professor Karen L. King. Except that when one reads beyond the sensational headlines, Professor King’s findings about Jesus being… Read more.
Yet another Afghan police betrayed his U.S. trainers on Sunday by opening fire on them, killing four. This brought to 51 the number of NATO soldiers killed in these so-called “green-on-blue” attacks so far this year. Ominously, this happened just days after Afghan authorities ejected some 700 members of the Afghan security forces for suspected… Read more.
No doubt it is reprehensible that even a gossip rag would publish pictures of Kate Middleton sunbathing topless at a private residence in the South of France. Alas, reports are that even more salacious photos of her lounging (semi) au natural with hubby Prince William are forthcoming. Incidentally, royal watchers were opining just days ago… Read more.

No network has been criticized more for its coverage of any event than NBC has been for its coverage of the London Olympics. The criticism has everything to do with NBC’s decision to broadcast premier events on tape delay.

Nobody in his right mind doubts that President Obama fully appreciates the existential threat Israel faces by having Iran, which seems hell-bent on building nuclear weapons, continually threaten to wipe it off the map. In point of fact, he has repeatedly vowed that the United States will not allow Iran to build those weapons, let… Read more.
Meanwhile: I applaud NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg for decreeing this week that, henceforth, the area where the twin towers were destroyed shall no longer be called ‘Ground Zero.’ Instead, it shall revert to its original name, The World Trade Center. But I urge him to decree also that, henceforth, the city shall no longer mark… Read more.
This will be my last (and, for that reason, relatively lengthy) commentary on the horse race between Romney and Obama until late October. At that time I’ll review their debates, which I suspect will be even more scripted and predictable than these conventions were, and I’ll restate my prediction for Election Day. I’m tuning out because… Read more.
