US forces let bin Laden “slip away” again…?!

Thursday, September 27, 2007 at 7:52 AM
Written by Anthony L. Hall

Throughout the 2004 presidential campaign, Senator John Kerry tried his damnedest to expose the fallacy of President Bush’s war-on-terror by repeatedly citing a CIA field commander’s claim that, in December 2001, US forces had Osama bin Laden cornered in a cave in the mountains of Tora Bora, Afghanistan (and even had him in their sights),… Read more.

Chávez Calls Bush ‘The Devil’ While UN Ignores Myanmar Monks’ Slaughter

Yesterday, President George W. Bush of the United States and President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran joined the queue of world leaders delivering canned speeches before the Annual Meeting of the United Nations General Assembly in New York. None of them said anything of any consequence. They never do. But here’s the dirty UN secret: most… Read more.

UPDATE: Ahmadinejad unbowed under the bludgeoning of pedestrian insults at Columbia

Written by Anthony L. Hall

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has just delivered an esoteric dissertation on the history of science and the categorical imperatives of reason – according to his doctrinaire religious perspective. But I’m sure the only thing that stirred interest amongst his wary audience was the 5-minute flourish at the end of his lecture, during which he defended… Read more.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad may have tipped his hand unwittingly during his interview on 60 Minutes last night. Because he manifested a classic case of projection when he ascribed to President George W. Bush the intent to use the threat of attack as psychological warfare against his people. One wonders, after all, what his repeated… Read more.

He Lives! Rumors of Castro’s death prove greatly exaggerated

Monday, September 24, 2007 at 9:46 AM
Written by Anthony L. Hall

Nothing vindicates Michael Moore’s hagiography of Cuba’s healthcare system (ie, the one for party officials and foreigners only) quite like the fact that Cuban doctors have managed to keep a “terminally ill and dying” Fidel Castro alive for over a year…. It is debatable, however, whether this fact is more galling to partisan critics of… Read more.

Oscar De La Hoya Is a Cross-Dressing Coke Addict

Sunday, September 23, 2007 at 2:15 PM
Written by Anthony L. Hall

Sex makes smart men do stupid things. You know, like Bill Clinton having sex with Monica Lewinsky in the Oval Office. But drugs make smart men do even stupider things. You know, like Oscar De La Hoya cross-dressing and having coke-fueled orgies with call girls. And letting them take pictures of their revelry to boot. Oscar De… Read more.

UPDATE: Swift justice for Jena teen, Mychal Bell, denied!

Saturday, September 22, 2007 at 11:40 AM
Written by Anthony L. Hall

The participants in yesterday’s march on Jena can be forgiven for thinking that their MLK-inspired, non-violent appeal for justice would result in Mychal Bell being released from prison today. Alas, the only thing swift about the justice they sought was the judge’s decision to remand him back to his cell…without bail. Of course, it probably… Read more.
