Last week, Iran was appointed to the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women. Iran. Making decisions and giving advice on the status of women. NEW YORK — Without fanfare, the United Nations this week elected Iran to its Commission on the Status of Women, handing a four-year seat on the influential human rights body to a theocratic state in which stoning is enshrined | Read More »
The night the NYC car bomb attempt went down, I was so grateful that, once again, the diligence of the public and the swift action of the NYC Police thwarted yet another potential attack. Shortly thereafter, while still incredibly grateful obviously, I became angry. I’ve had it. Firstly, because the current strategy of homeland security seems to be “Hey, guys, we’ve totally unclenched our fists. | Read More »
“… but there’s, let’s say, movement or some indication that, in fact, they’re not just coming out limp and dead..” I read this article in The Telegraph the other day about a 22 week old fetus, an unborn baby, who survived an abortion attempt and lived for two days; unattended to, abandoned and left to die. Alone. After I stopped weeping and saying a prayer | Read More »
I used to lament the fact that we no longer have a President who can speak on his own without being spoon-fed words via teleprompter. Now, however, I’m glad for it.

Yesterday at his nuclear conference, Obama said the following (via Gateway Pundit): “Whether we like it or not, we remain a dominant military superpower.” Whether we like it or not. That’s like what Mommies say when telling you to eat your yucky vegetables. Would he prefer that we be vulnerable and weak? Heck of an American Can-Do attitude, Barry! It is, of course, being spun | Read More »
Poor Jimmy Carter, bless his bitter, old, anti-semitic heart. President Barack Obama has totally stolen his thunder. First, Obama had to horn in on Carter’s “I received a completely unwarranted Nobel Peace Prize” mantle. Now, this! What does Carter have left now? A few rancid cases of Billy Beer? From Story Balloon: It looks like we have another winning billboard making fun of the current | Read More »
It seems that math, cooking and basic home economics aren’t the only things with which Katrina Vanden Heuvel has trouble. I wrote about her inability to function at those household basics the other day, here. Well, it appears that the reality-challenged Vanden Heuvel, Editor of The Nation magazine, also isn’t a very good, you know, Editor. .. the editor of The Nation might well be | Read More »
