    Anti-Wal-Mart Group Claims Wal-Mart Ads Are Misleading

    Thursday, August 31st, 2006

    This anti-Wal-Mart stuff is getting out of control. Via the NY Sun. Here is the ad:
    “It’s been said that when Wal-Mart comes to town it’s like getting a nice pay raise,” one of the new ads declares. “Our low prices save the average working family $2,300 a year.”
    Here is the justification for airing [...]

    Gore on the Media

    Tuesday, August 29th, 2006

    Another Al Gore story. This one reads, “Gore Lashes Out at Media Consolidation.”
    Former Vice President Al Gore said Sunday ever-tighter political and economic control of the media is a major threat to democracy.
    “Democracy is under attack,” Gore told an audience at the Edinburgh International Television Festival. “Democracy as a system for self-governance is facing more [...]

    Nude Hippie Teens In Vermont: Ewwwwww

    Friday, August 25th, 2006

    Actually, I don’t have a problem with nudity. Hippies are another thing… Anyway, it appears a Vermont town full of “writers, artists, and musicians” is having a problem with teenagers and others just walking around and going about their business in the nude. Big deal, if you ask me. The part that struck me was [...]

    The Lebanon Cease-Fire Will Fail

    Thursday, August 24th, 2006

    Why? “France Sending 2,000 Troops to Lebanon.”
    President Jacque Chirac said Thursday that France will send a total of 2,000 soldiers for the U.N. peacekeeping force in southern Lebanon, and an European Union official said it wants to see the troops in place within a week. In a nationally televised address that also was closely followed [...]

    "Hitler" Eatery Forced to Change Name

    Thursday, August 24th, 2006

    I read an article the other day about an eatery in India that had named itself “Hitler’s Cross” and had decorated the eatery with swastikas, Hitler paraphernalia, etc. The owners said they just wanted a name that stuck out among all the eateries in Mumbai, and meant no offense…I mean, how stupid can you be? [...]

    Our "New" Solar System

    Thursday, August 24th, 2006

    So, Pluto’s been removed as one of our planets? Our solar system now only includes Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, and then will include a separate list of “dwarf planets”, which will include Pluto and two others.
    I’m not sure what to make of this. Is it something important or something that [...]

    Syria’s Threat to Close the Border

    Wednesday, August 23rd, 2006

    Here’s a “threat” that may not have its desired effect. The headline reads: “Syria Threatens to Close Lebanon Border.”
    Syria has threatened to close its border with Lebanon if U.N. peacekeepers are deployed along the frontier, Finland’s foreign minister said Wednesday.
    Uh, all the more reason to put peacekeepers along the border, if you ask me. [...]

    Norwegian Government Knew of Iraq Oil-For-Food Bribes

    Wednesday, August 23rd, 2006

    Europe loves to take the high road vis-a-vis the US in international relations. Everyone opposed the Iraq War out of the goodness of their hearts. Later, we learned the French, the Russians, even the UN itself, was in on huge business agreements and other shady deals with Saddam. Now, it looks like the Norwegians were [...]

    Consequences for Tom Cruise

    Wednesday, August 23rd, 2006

    Funny.

    Cruise and his producing partner Paula Wagner, whose Cruise/Wagner Prods. has been based at the Hollywood studio for 14 years, said they ended negotiations several days ago when a Paramount offer came up short. Wagner said the production company has lined up private equity that will allow it to operate independently of any of the [...]

    Carter Says Israeli Incursion In Lebanon Not Justified and Other Dumb Things

    Saturday, August 19th, 2006

    It’s truly amazing how far out of their way certain liberals will go to side with the Arab terrorists. Via the NY Sun.

    President Carter has told a German newspaper that Israel was not justified in bombing and invading Lebanon and Gaza after its soldiers were kidnapped because the Jewish state itself holds so many [...]
