Turi Munthe wrote a review of the Michael Moore hate-fest for the Daily Star, a Lebanese daily paper.
Those who loved the film should be horsewhipped for bowing to some of the most blatantly propagandistic cinema since Leni Riefenstahl’s “Triumph of the Will” and “Olympia.” Those who hated it should be gagged until after the November [...]

This speech was long on rhetoric and short on substance. Most political speeches are, but this one more than most. There was exactly one reference to his Senatorial record and that came near the beginning, sandwiched between his stint as a federal prosecutor and his campaign.
But there were some other interesting points that [...]

With nothing better to do for a bit today around lunch, I turned on Fox News. Day Side with Linda Vester was on and she was interviewing Rob Reiner (aka “Meathead” from All In the Family). Her last question was a two parter:
What do you think of this network (Fox News Channel), and

Well, after hearing Lisa bemoan watching Teresa Heinz-Kerry’s speech, I tuned in.
I’m not sure where to start.
Do I start with her line that seemed to say “Women of the world unite!” Given what we’ve seen of how Hilary was treated, she could have added “Do your husband’s introductions!”

I have tried to stay out of the fray regarding the op/ed by Jennifer Richards. I really have. The story is a week old now (it’s in the 7/18 NY Times).
But, thanks to Bill at INDC Journal’s blog post on the new Planned Parenthood t-shirt today, I can’t.
I am staunchly pro-life. I [...]

The John Kerry Campaign had set up Restore Honesty for Poor Joe Wilson to rail against the injustices of a cruel world led by George W. Bush.
Now that Poor Joe Wilson has been thoroughly discredited, it’s time for some distance and a little self-examination. To wit, the text on Restore Honesty:
You have requested a [...]

John Kerry does “not cross picket lines.” Or, so he says (as well as his campaign).
Earlier he had floated a trial balloon about postponing his acceptance of the Democratic nomination so he could try to match W’s war chest before federal matching funds kick in.
Put those together and what do you get?

I put this under “humor” even though it’s kinda scary if you really think about it.
The Associated Press is running a story about the kidnapping of six more people in Iraq.
Their nationalities: (1) Egyptian, (2) Kenyans, and (3) Indians.
The demand: Egypt, Kenya, and India pull their troops out of the [...]
