Jump to 2:05 in the following video to hear something that seems a bit startling when you consider it’s coming from a “peaceful Turkish humanitarian flotilla.” Apparently it’s also quite common for Turks to bring stun grenades on humanitarian missions: It is clear from this video that the Turkish “humanitarians” were provoking the Israeli soldiers.

A Quick Personal Reaction to Roman Polanski’s “The Ghost Writer” [definitely not a review]
A lyric popped into my head while walking away from the theater where I watched Roman Polanski’s “The Ghost Writer” yesterday: “IT’S LIKE RAAAAAAAAEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNN ON YOUR WEDDING DAY.” (if you are viewing this post in your email inbox, you might want to navigate to my site so you can view the video) Here’s what was [...]
Michael Moore: A rebel with a perverted cause
One thing seems to be left out of Michael Moore’s low-aimed 2-hour brow-beating of Capitalism: the truth or any resemblance to it. In fact no documentary has done a better job of distorting simple, clean unmistakable truth like Michael Moore’s “Capitalism: A Love Story.” Viewers are barraged with a torrent of emotionally-charged clips that depict [...]
A thumbs-down reaction to the Lost Season Finale

Bill O’Reilly Fort Hood shootings
Did anyone notice a lack of the word “terrorist” in the news coverage of the Fort Hood shootings?
Glenn Beck and the third party
Today’s Glenn Beck show was significant in every respect. Glenn Beck has made it clear in the past that he detested the Republicans in Congress as much as the Democrats, but defecting to a third party seemed out of the question. After today’s show, there is little doubt left that Beck will support a third party in the [...]
Jay Leno on Fox News attacks
Right out of the Alinsky “Rules for Radicals” handbook to isolate dissension, White House reps. such as Rahm Immanuel and David Axelrod have been criticizing Fox News as “not a news organization.” Meanwhile, Obama is secretly meeting with mainstream media moguls such as Rachel Maddow and Keith Olberman. On Monday, MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann and Rachel [...]
Rahm Emanuel: Fox isn’t a news organization
The attacks on Fox News continue. President’s chief of staff Rahm Emanuel reasons Fox news isn’t a news organization because it “has a perspective.” Can one exist without a perspective? CNN’s Howard Kurtz noted that, while Obama was able to talk to Ahmadinejad, he was not able to talk to Chris Wallace despite appearing frequently on every other major [...]
