Bristol and her partner are safe for another week of Dancing with the Stars. After each elimination show, the losing couple appears on the Jimmy Kimmel Show. The losers this week were the gracious and now not without talent former football Cardinals quarterback, Kurt Warner. None of the accounts of the show in which he […]
Tariq Aziz Should NOT be Hanged.
November 9, 2010
Writing at Slate.com, Christopher Hitchens has come out in support of not hanging Tariq Aziz, Saddam Hussein’s former henchman, deputy and intermediary with the Western Press.

Running Away From 9/11 Anniversary
September 12, 2010
How many times can I tolerate looking at the planes hitting the twin towers at Ground Zero in NYC? After this year, not one more time. This year more than at any other time, the build up to the anniversary was marred by the press coverage of mini-madmen and their schemes such as burning the […]
