For those of you unfamiliar with this story, it is very interesting.  Apparently a Cambodian woman, kidnapped by a feral man about 18 years ago, has been living in the jungles of Cambodia all that time.  So much so, she has lost her capacity to speak languages, and is afraid of virtually her own shadow.  It really caught my attention, and I have been following it.  Her father, ever so grateful to have her back, is trying to get her back into society.  What society? ...

Is the title shocking?  Think about it.  When you think about it, the statement is a truism.  No one is saying that half of all children are stupid.  That half of all children are morons.  But the simple fact is that one takes the total sample, adds it up and divides by the number of the population.  That is an average.  And while one may argue that the average is not the median (the median is the true mid point of the population), with a sample size large enou...

As many of you may know, today is the birthday of Edgar Allen Poe - the greatest writer of the 19th century.  For the last 58 years, a man has put a rose and a bottle of cognac on his grave on his birthday.  Everyone has respected this man's privacy and no one has tried to find out who he is. But this year, the news has adopted a name for the man.  The Poe Toaster!  Sounds like a breakfast food. "Mom, can I have another Poe Toaster?" WTF?  Why cant they just acknow...

Seems that the land of milk and honey is not so serene when it comes to breeding blood thirsty terrorists.  Or not.  I guess since Abu Usamah at Thahabi has not blown up any buildings, his rants do not qualify him as a terrorist.  But then again someone who is advocating: calls for the public crucifixion of all "kuffar" and says they should be "left there to bleed to death for three days." And he regularly exhorts worshippers at the Green Lane Masjid, or mosque, in B...

Apparently the Social Action and Leadership School for Activists (SALSA) likes to trash the deeds and memory of great men.  Just Monday they likened Martin Luther King to Robert Mugabe.  There is no question that MLK was no saint.  It is hard to be a mortal man and be perfect.  But he had a vision - a dream - that America does try to emulate in many ways today.  And like another great man, Mahatma Ghandi, he wanted to enact social change through peaceful means, and not t...

Yvonne DeCarlo died, according to sources, of Natural causes today.  It seems all our childhood TV stars (and movie for that matter) are leaving us.  But when I read she was 84, it made me feel old! Herman, Grandpa, and now Lily.  Mawell, Gilligan too.  I guess time stands for no one, even our childhood idols.

Apparently, the NY Times now feels that Post Partum Abortion is a cause Celebre that must be defended at all costs (including the truth).  Back in April, one of their "unbiased" writers, Jack Hitt reported on a case of a women being given a long prison sentence for having an 18 week abortion.  And he advocated that she should not be in jail for killing her baby. The problem is, that the woman, Carmen Climaco, did not have an abortion.  She murdered her new born baby after birth...

The headlines today blared: Massive deaths in another Terrorist Attack on the US.  The originator was Pat Robertson.  And CNN and Fox dutifully carried the news.  And the local idiot of a talking head is dedicating an hour or 2 to rant about "Who listens to him?".  Well for one, the idiot talking head. For another a couple of Internet News Services.  For a third?  Anyone else you can think of?  Simply put, Pat Robertson has been a caricature for the last oh,...

Of his guilt, I think there is no question.  But I think the haste leaves a lot to be desired.  What is the rush?  I guess for his victims, there is no haste, just a long delay.  And I cannot "understand" what they have been through, only read it like a B Rated Horror movie. But whatever the reason for the haste, one thing is for certain.  While the brain dead will paint this as an act by the "puppet" government of Iraq, it is clear, the US would rather it take a norm...

Died today.  Adnauseum wrote a very fitting Epitaph for him in the link.  And I am impressed with his analysis.  For one not of this country, he did an excellent job. But then I had to write my own.  Why?  He was the first president I voted for.  Having come of age just 2 years prior.  At the time the nation was a mess.  Vietnam (You know, Johnson's war), Watergate, and wage price controls.  None of them were his fault, and we were still in the col...

http://www.herald-mail.com/?module=displaystory&story_id=154557&format=html In another (actually 2) examples of brain dead administrators implementing stupid rules with no thought behind the use of said rules, it appears that the age of sexual predators has dropped to 4 and 5 years old.  Not 14 or 15, four or five! In Maryland, a young boy has to go through elementary school listed as a sexual predator.  His crime?  He pinched a girls fanny!  OK, I am not goin...

No, I am not a fan of The Donald.  Until the latest!  As I am just a voice in the wilderness so to speak, I can say a lot about Rosie O'Donnel, but who is going to listen to me?  But The Donald is a man who has made not one, but several fortunes.  And knows of what he speaks.  My Opinion of Rosie will be apparent soon, as this feud has exploded into the best E-Network news since the OJ Simpson trial! "Rosie is a bully. I hit her between the eyes, she's worried...

Yep!  I am sure we have all seen the joke about the bumper sticker "Jesus is Love" and then the driver acting like a bitch from hell. The cop pulling her over as he figured the car was stolen, yada, yada, yada. I have seen it so many times, it got tiresome.  Until today.  Today I was driving in the nasty West end.  basically gridlock from light to light.  I had to, so I just sat back and inched along.  Then a car with a bumper sticker that read "Coexist" with the...

Well, Joy "foot in mouth" Behar has done it again.  Just when you thought she could not get any stupider, or loonier, she now equates Donald Rumsfeld with Adolph Hitler.  In what can only be described as "engaging mouth before starting brain", the VunderMaedchen of the View said: "You have to put, like, a Hitler type [on the cover of Time]," "Like, you put Donald Rumsfeld there, or something," Unlike last week, when she got a smattering of applause for her stupidity, this ...

"The fact is that it's news all over the world. That you know, you can imagine in China it's like: 'Ching chong … ching chong. Danny DeVito , ching chong, chong, chong, chong. Drunk. 'The View.' Ching chong," O'Donnell said on a Dec. 5 episode of "The View." Do we really need to add anything to this?  I think not.  Rosie said it all.  Just another example of the Hollywood left showing that tolerance and understanding are oxymorons when mentioned in the same sentence as thei...
