Welcome! This is an unapologetic, agenda-free zone. Just commentaries on current events that’ll move you to think, laugh, rage, and even cry.
Ron Jeremy: Hey what can I say, I forgot my Viagra Yesterday, America’s “biggest” porn star, Ron Jeremy, was scheduled to perform at the Oxford Union in England but withdrew within minutes of doing it. Nevertheless, to release their frustrations, his audience pursed their (stiff upper) lips and departed to take matters into their own… Read more.
They say the fruit does not fall far from the tree. And, in Harry’s case, that might be more telling than he (and other members of the royal family) may want to know. After all, given Charles’s eye for the matronly Camilla, Harry’s eye for this buxom blonde suggests he might be a bad… Read more.
Court makes right decision but American justice remains crooked… Yesterday, in a long overdue step in the right direction, the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) abolished the death penalty – in cases involving juvenile defendants (children under the age of 18). This decision will give reprieve to about 70 death row inmates who… Read more.
Freedom Marchers! Two days ago, the Syrian puppet government of Lebanon fell under pressure from a galvanizing protest by Lebanese citizens screaming for independence and democratic reforms. The protesters were emboldened by the promise President Bush made in his State of the Union address to stand with those who rise up against totalitarian governments. They… Read more.
Student Ahmed Abu Ali: Best (marksman / suicide bomber?) in his class An American, Ahmed Abu Ali, has been indicted by a federal prosecutor for allegedly conspiring to assassinate President Bush, conduct a terrorist attack and establish an al Qaeda cell in the United States.

Yesterday, Rev. Jesse Jackson (remember him?) reared his opportunistic head to warn that Michael Jackson may not get a fair trial because there are no blacks on his jury. Unfortunately, this represents the nature of black political activism in America today. It’s only a matter of time before Rev. Al Sharpton, the Congressional Black Caucus… Read more.
I watched the Oscars last night. (But, before the title of this column leads anyone to queer assumptions, let me hasten to clarify that I tuned in for purely journalistic purposes.) And, I feel confident asserting that my original commentary was right on all points. Nevertheless, I failed to indicate that – sometimes – the… Read more.
The Pope may be knock knock knocking on Heaven’s door, but he’s still fighting the good fight and, evidently, with good humour. Nevertheless, the continuing terror of Catholic priests preying on innocents (especially boys) must anger and aggrieve His Holiness to biblical proportions. Last Friday, the Council of Catholic Bishops reported 1,092 new accusations of… Read more.
A suicide bomber struck in the heart of Tel Aviv last night, killing 4 Israelis and wounding many others. Israeli Prime Minister Sharon promises restraint, and Palestinian President Abbas vows swift justice. (Ironically, Israelis and Palestinians are both pointing fingers at Syrian-backed terrorists (Hezbollah) who they allege want to foment a permanent cycle of violence… Read more.
