I have become a veritable Cassandra with my warnings about the folly of America’s involvement in Afghanistan. Instead of wondering why I keep beating this dead horse, however, my only wonder is why more people aren’t doing the same. After all, the killing of U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan is even more senseless than the killing… Read more.
Yesterday lawyers for and against Obama’s landmark healthcare reform began three days of arguments before the Supreme Court. What is truly remarkable though is that the arguments the lawyers are proffering in Court are essentially the same as those politicians proffered in Congress when the healthcare bill was being debated two years ago.

After all, Houston was little more than a walking corpse when her cad of a lover recorded the tapes in question. Now she’s dead, and unable to defend her honor. Whitney Houston sex tapes Ray J was… Read more.

Therefore, it takes extraordinary circumstances – like a mother (Casey Anthony) killing her child – for any of them to become a cause celebre. The circumstances surrounding the killing of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin are extraordinary to say the least. (One can be forgiven for thinking… Read more.
I am pretty sure this phenomenon will die a media death this weekend when Tom Brady and the New England Patriots show Tim Tebow and the Denver Broncos, in convincing fashion, that winning Football games has absolutely nothing to do with how much of a spectacle one makes of praying to God.
