A while back, a certain prima donna decided to rip off one of my articles.  She had to misquote it to do it, but she asked "where are all the Liberals at JU".  I did not even realize it was a rip off (seems to be her only forte these days) until Brad wrote a rebuttal.  Eh?  So what. So what?  It seems now she is calling the tunes.  No longer satisfied to be queen bee, now she has to dictate to the rest of Ju who they can talk to and who they cannot.  It seem...

Xythe Wrote an article about how the Internet helped him unlearn prejudice.  And I must say I am impressed that he could recognize the fault, and even more that he overcame it.  It is sad that so many cannot, and never do.  But this is not about that really.  This is about a "sister" I met on line.  Sister as in sibling, not as in "hey sister!". I have always had a plethora of sisters.  4 (or 5) now, and I think my mother has stopped counting. But several year...

Several pundits on the right have been joking (or perhaps not) of how should the democrats lose, they will yell "Fraud" and "Disenfranchisement".  Basically they will say that the election was stolen.  While not many doubt that is a distinct possibility given their behavior in the 2000 and 2004 elections, at least in those years, they waited to lose to look for the snipes.  Never found, but you cant keep a good conspiracy theory down. Well, I guess this year they are too impati...

There are several great debates going on today, 3 by Brad (most of the posters are anonymous, but most are keeping it civil as well).  Then Moderateman has a good one going that is now starting to digress, and I did not want to drag that one farther off topic responding to one point made, but felt it should be addressed.  It would have been much better in one of Brad's Instapundit articles. Sean Conners made this point: but you are correct in knowing that no democrat has sugges...

While the UN postures and compromises, and half of Asia worries and frets, Kim Jung Mentally Il acts like a spoiled child.  Barucka Saults.  "I want it now Daddy!".  Every move made by any nation, to bluster (for that is all anyone is really doing), stamp their feet, threaten to take their marbles and go home, is met by Kim's loud cry that "It is an Act of War!".  When in reality, if we were to engage in act of war, there would be a glass parking lot between Seoul and Beijing...

There is a debate.  Yes, a Debate as there is no conclusive answer yet, much to the chagrin of one side of the debate.  The debate is Global Warming.  And it seems that the Global Warming kooks (note to the easily offended - This does not include all global warming adherents) are loosing the debate, and now want to threaten the other side.  Yes, that bastion of looniness, the Green publication Grist, wants to have "Nuremberg" style trials for anyone that does not agree with t...

A woman, Viola Trevino, managed to con the State of New Mexico's Department of Social Services for 5 years.  And almost ruined a man's life over it.  What was his crime?  He divorced her. In 1999, after being granted a divorce, Trevino alleged he had fathered another child and that she was due child support.  No child support was part of the agreement as their 2 children were both adults at the time.  Fathered a child, even though she had had a tubiligation and he a v...
