Contestant Claims Miss USA Pageant Is Rigged. Duh
Friday, June 8, 2012 at 5:10 AM
I witnessed another contestant who said she saw the list of the Top 5 BEFORE THE SHOW EVER STARTED proceed to call out in order who the Top 5 were before they were announced on stage. Apparently the morning of June 3rd she saw a folder lying open to a page that said ‘FINAL SHOW… Read more.
Obama Droning al-Qaeda to Death … Allahu Akbar!
Thursday, June 7, 2012 at 7:29 AM
As a presidential candidate, Barack Obama established most of his foreign-policy bona fides by criticizing the tactics President Bush was using to fight the war on terrorism. This is why, almost from day one of his presidency, Republicans have accused him of hypocrisy, while Democrats have accused him of betrayal, for not only adopting but… Read more.
Protesters Return to Egypt’s Tahrir Square
Wednesday, June 6, 2012 at 5:11 AM
The following excerpts from two of the many commentaries I’ve written on the Egyptian revolution should explain what is unfolding there now. The first is from Army Pledges No Force Against Protesters, The iPINIONS Journal, February 1, 2011: With all due respect to the protesters, the issue is not whether Mubarak will go, for he… Read more.
Legalize Marijuana!
Tuesday, June 5, 2012 at 5:46 AM
When it comes to progressive laws in the United States it is axiomatic that as California goes, so goes the nation. This was the case when it legalized marijuana for medicinal use in 1996. (Seventeen states, including Washington, DC, have followed suit.) Therefore, it is very noteworthy that New York is assuming this vanguard role in decriminalizing… Read more.
The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee
Monday, June 4, 2012 at 6:41 AM
Today’s flotilla of 1,000 vessels along the River Thames highlights day two of “Four Days of Glorious Celebration” in the UK marking Queen Elizabeth’s 60th anniversary as reigning monarch (1952-present). Of course, die-hard colonialists (many of whom remain wistfully settled throughout my Caribbean) can be forgiven their indignation at the heaping of so much glory upon this monarch whose reign has seen the sun set… Read more.
Facebook, face-plant
Saturday, June 2, 2012 at 6:33 AM
The fact that the stock price flatlined on its first day of trading yesterday (opening at $38 and closing at $38.23 instead of at twice or three times that amount as analysts predicted) should provide a rude awakening for all of the suckers who bought the hype. I’m sure they won’t like that. (“Facebook IPO… Read more.

The Acquittal of John Edwards
Thursday, May 31, 2012 at 6:17 PM
If this goes to trial (since Edwards and the feds still could/should settle), I predict he will be convicted on at least one count (just for being a scumbag as indicated above), he will serve jail time (at least two years), and he will lose his law license. Hey, he made his bed…. (“The Indictment… Read more.
Trump’s Birther Nonsense: Take 2
Thursday, May 31, 2012 at 8:20 AM
Alas Donald Trump’s birther nonsense has attained such cognitive dissonance that even Jay Z is trying to explain it. But only one word explains why Trump is continuing to peddle nonsense about President Obama being a foreigner: publicity. Evidently the national embarrassment he caused last year by compelling the president (to condescend) to publish his birth certificate – proving… Read more.
