Nobel Peace Prize Winner

“Obama: Anatomy of a World Leader,” by Alex Gray (detail) There seems to be some confusion about President Obama’s “foreign policy.” At times, it has been alleged that he actually has a policy, but these allegations have never been substantiated. My perception, after watching this administration’s actions for the past five years, is that the […]

The Bloody Cost of Failure

The New York Times reports: Kneeling in the dirt in a desert somewhere in the Middle East, James Foley lost his life this week at the hands of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. Before pulling out the knife used to decapitate him, his masked executioner explained that he was killing the 40-year-old American […]

American Journalist James Foley Beheaded by Islamic Terrorists

In reply to the question, one of the gunmen answers, “We […]

People […]

Hunting the Syrian Squirrel

“Obama: Anatomy of a World Leader,” by Alex Gray (detail) You’re not supposed to say that The Syrian Crisis has been manufactured for domestic political purposes.

@Alyssa_Milano Releases Sex Tape as ‘Social Statement’ (Alex Jones Is Nuts)

As soon as I saw ALYSSA MILANO SEX TAPE, you know I had to click the link, and was momentarily afraid Becca Lower was linking video from a certain 1995 exploitation flick that shall not be named. (“Never mention that movie . . . she hates that movie,” a friend advised me not long after […]
