Alan Dershowitz on Zarqawi
Alan Dershowitz on killing Zarqawi:
As the civilized world justly celebrates the long overdue killing of Abu M al-Zarqawi, it must recall that his death was brought about by what has come to be known as “targeted assassination” or “targeted killings.” This is the same technique that has been repeatedly condemned by the international community when [...]
Blame Bush, Not Zarqawi
Travis wrote two years ago about the sad Bush derangement syndrome of Nick Berg’s father.
Well, guess who the media is trotting out now to dampen the happy news of Zarqawi’s death? That’s right…Michael Berg!
Michael Berg, whose son Nick was beheaded in Iraq in 2004, said on Thursday he felt no sense of relief at [...]

Here’s the official World Cup 2006 song/music video.
There is even a clip of Maradona’s “Hand of God” goal, which I’m sure my Mom, as an England fan, will enjoy.

Arnold Friberg and The Ten Commandments
I had never realized that Mormon artist Arnold Friberg was even involved in making The Ten Commandments (the movie), much less that his “paintings were the basis of what the film was to look and feel like.”
DeMille commissioned Friberg to create the scenes and costume design for “The Ten Commandments.” Friberg moved to Hollywood and [...]
Hugo Chavez: The Neo-Imperialist
What delicious irony!
Hugo Chavez has managed to replace George W. Bush as the imperialist specter.
…
Now at last, Mr. Chavez is the object of a growing backlash from leaders around Latin America — from Brazil, Peru, Colombia, Mexico and Nicaragua, among other countries. In part, the politicians are responding to foolish overreaching by Mr. Chavez, who [...]
Oh…That Liberal Media
Here’s a little quiz:
Q: Was U.S. economic growth higher during the time John Snow was Treasury Secretary, or during the time Robert Rubin was Treasury Secretary?
A: It was the same , 3.8 percent.
I would have never guessed. That’s what I get for judging the economy by NY Times and CNN coverage (although the NY [...]
Say It Ain’t So
The Baltimore Orioles are considering drafting that kid who robbed them, and all us fans, during the ALCS in 1996.
Forget about impeaching Bush and plunging DC into total gridlock. Somebody impeach Angelos!
“I wouldn’t be at all opposed to [drafting Maier]. In fact, I’d say it’s a very interesting development,” Angelos said. “You can say [...]
Big Brother Arriving in America
We’ve covered Argentina’s attempt to force internet service providers (ISP) to retain online activity data on customers.
Shortly thereafter it was reported that the Justice Department in the U.S. started floating a similar idea to ISPs.
Well, wait no more. Alberto “I’m a Dumb Tool” Gonzales is putting the screws on American ISPs.
The Justice Department is [...]
