George Carlin used to muse that the reason the mainstream media, talking heads and politicians kept the masses arguing amongst themselves over right versus left paradigms was so that they, the elite, could keep giggling off to the bank.
As with many other things Carlin waxed upon, he was probably right on this score.
It’s useful to [...]

On June 20, a 26-year old woman named Neda Soltani was gunned down in the streets of Tehran, Iran, during a protest over the outcome of that country’s recent presidential election.
A mobile phone video of her murder circulated across the internet on YouTube and Facebook. Details were almost immediately being published by amateurs and citizens [...]

Ron Paul, you cheeky thing! Giving the corrupt, private banking cartel a bunch of grief for destroying our monetary system and trying to hold their feet to the fire with HR 1207?
Looks like you might just get your wish, kid.
Steve Watson of infowars.net had this to report on the number of co-sponsors to Ron Paul’s [...]

On May 26, 2009, The Hollywood Reporter confirmed that Al Pacino is considering the lead role in the upcoming biopic of Dr. Jack Kevorkian, You Don’t Know Jack. Pacino has long been a favorite of mine so I found the move just a bit of a disappointment.
Though the film certainly isn’t in the can yet [...]

This might well be the most disgusting display of inhumanity I’ve had to witness.
A US soldier describes, in great detail, his experiences in Abu Garib prison. He admits to the repeated rape of a 15-year old girl who later hanged herself. To him, it’s just not that big of a deal.
We all know this war [...]

If you know the name Jim Garrison, it may well only be because of popular culture and the early 1990’s film J.F.K. by Oliver Stone. In that film, Kevin Costner portrays the New Orleans District Attorney Garrison who investigated and brought charges against those who he believed conspired to murder President John F. Kennedy. Garrison [...]

I hate to admit it, but I’m leaning towards yes on this one (then again, I totally dug Ann Richards). Here now is the Governor of the state of Texas, Rick Perry, asserting his resolve to support House Concurrent Resolution 50 that invokes that state’s 10th Amendment rights to sovereignty.
My question would be, where were [...]

Most of us can probably recall our mother or father warning us that we shouldn’t judge a book by its cover.  Here’s something to underscore that.
Admittedly, I don’t watch this particular program. I don’t watch much television period. But, this clip was posted to Fark and I couldn’t help but take a look. What I [...]

You bet your sweet ass it is.

Luke Rudkowski is your every-day, garden variety scapegoat.
The 22-year old is a slender and clean-cut figure who typically wears a business jacket and tie in public and keeps his hair short and his face clean-shaven. He is certainly not the visual you’d expect of a thug, a violent person or a criminal.
Yet, on March 28, [...]
