Good (news) Friday: “U.S. Immigration Bill All But Assured”

Friday, May 12, 2006 at 11:09 AM
Written by Anthony L. Hall

Last month, I marched in solidarity with my Hispanic brothers and sisters to urge the U.S. Congress to enact immigration legislation, which includes: “…a guest-worker plan, path to citizenship and border security (amongst other measures) that would guarantee proper assimilation of these and future immigrants.” But the rabid and politically-motivated rhetoric this issue inspired in… Read more.

France inaugurates annual slavery memorial day

Thursday, May 11, 2006 at 10:16 AM
Written by Anthony L. Hall

Every night – for over a fortnight – last November, youths from marginalized Muslim and black communities emulated 1960s black Americans by setting cars and buildings ablaze all over France to unleash pent-up frustrations with the country’s entrenched and pervasive practice of institutionalized and social racism. And even though many of us would have preferred… Read more.

The UN (continues to) dither and debate as Africans die by the thousands…everyday!

Wednesday, May 10, 2006 at 10:13 AM
Written by Anthony L. Hall

Last week, I wrote this article (for a different publication) lamenting the fecklessness of the United Nations as a peacekeeping and humanitarian organization – especially where conflicts and crises in Africa are concerned. And I concluded with this admonition: …as our brothers and sisters in Haiti and Darfur know all too well: if your country… Read more.

Jacob Zuma, former South African Deputy President, gets off on rape…

Tuesday, May 9, 2006 at 10:13 AM
Written by Anthony L. Hall

Just over a month ago, I posted this article detailing some of the graphic and damningly-probative testimony by the HIV-positive woman who claimed that Jacob Zuma – her dead father’s best friend and the man she regarded as her adopted father – had raped her. In his defense, however, Zuma took the stand and testified… Read more.

David Blaine: master of illusion or huckster of delusion?

Tuesday, May 9, 2006 at 9:41 AM
Written by Anthony L. Hall

It has become fashionable for people to dismiss David Blaine as a publicity-seeking huckster with delusions of magical grandeur; instead of the death-defying illusionist he fancies himself to be. And, it certainly did not help his credibility when he failed last night to break the “static apnea” (holding one’s breath underwater) record of 8 minutes,… Read more.

Arrivederci Silvio Berlusconi…until next time?

Monday, May 8, 2006 at 10:17 AM
Written by Anthony L. Hall

Silvio Berlusconi has been the richest and most charismatic man in Italy for many years. But the origins of his fortune remain such a mystery that many accuse him of “going into politics so as to not go to jail”. And into politics he did go. Moreover, few were surprised when he became the most… Read more.

Life in Prison! A fate worse than death for Islamic terrorists!

Sunday, May 7, 2006 at 12:20 PM
Written by Anthony L. Hall

Reports are that Osama bin Laden has given his most-trusted disciples an edict to kill him if it ever becomes clear that he will be captured by the Americans. (Why not commit suicide like he’s commanded so many of his followers to do? Because he’s a coward who lives furtively and anxiously in a cave… Read more.

Cold War redux: Friendship over between Russia and the United States!

Friday, May 5, 2006 at 10:53 AM
Written by Anthony L. Hall

Never let it be said, again, that President George W. Bush is such a stubborn fool that no matter how disastrous any of his policies turn out to be (Iraq), he will stick with it – in the delusional belief that this demonstrates “strong leadership.” Because, after his first meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin… Read more.
