Blame the Victim

It never takes long after a Pales­tin­ian ter­ror­ist blows him­self (or her­self) up in a crowded restau­rant or night club or bus before the loonies start blam­ing Israel for the act. This author talks about how the wall will her­met­i­cally seal the Pales­tini­ans to their fate, for­get­ting that”s what they asked for, a state of …

Duke Arrests

Two arrests made in the Duke Lacrosse scandal. This has become a huge story, one that maybe is get­ting more atten­tion than it should. With no con­firm­ing DNA evi­dence, it will be inter­est­ing to see how this all plays out. It’s inter­est­ing to note (for a cynic) that the DA is up for reelec­tion this …

Ugh

The loony left often com­plains that the loony right calls them unpa­tri­otic but it”s hard to be sym­pa­thetic to their com­plaints when they do every­thing pos­si­ble to sup­port it. That arti­cle is so filled with rub­bish and sim­ple­ton talk that it”s hard to know where to start in. It”s rare to find so per­fect an …

Pro Golfer Wins Tourney, Speaks to Jesus

Aaron Bad­de­ley won his first PGA tour­na­ment at The Ver­i­zon Her­itage this week­end, stand­ing over a 6 foot win­ning par putt on 18 and say­ing “This is for you Jesus” before knock­ing it in. Calls to Jesus’ agent were not returned and an anony­mous source said Jesus was entirely too busy help­ing the poor and …

TABC Suspends Arrests Inside Bars

The only sur­pris­ing thing about this is that it took so long. Arrest­ing peo­ple inside bars who “appear” to be drunk (no objec­tive tests were ever given) is insult­ing and silly. In one case, a man was arrested at a hotel bar, the very hotel he was stay­ing in. Clearly, the goal of this oper­a­tion …

Signs of the Apocalypse

911 oper­a­tor tells boy to stop “play­ing on the phone” when he calls to report his dying mother. Mother even­tu­ally dies. Oper­a­tor will prob­a­bly keep her job because she’s in the union. Sick. 82 year old woman gets ticket for cross­ing street too slowly.

Another DNA Exoneration?

No DNA match in the Duke lacrosse fiasco. Assum­ing the pros­e­cu­tor fol­lows through on his attempt to file charges sans DNA evi­dence, this isn’t over yet but all signs are point­ing to the lacrosse team being exonerated. This has been a messy sit­u­a­tion, one in which it seems guilt was assumed all along. This was …
