In 2008, candidate Obama made numerous promises that if elected president he would immediately close the prison at Guantanamo Bay: Today, some five years later, Obama’s going to call (again) for steps that could culminate in the shuttering of the prison. Problem is, those steps involve sending some of the suspects back to one of [...]

I suppose it would be considered insensitive to suggest this as a solution: Don’t do things that will get you sent to prison and you’ll be able to eat whatever you want. From the Detroit Free Press: A federal lawsuit was filed today against the Michigan Department of Corrections, alleging several Muslim inmates aren’t getting [...]

This guy’s crime wouldn’t have been any less horrific if he’d have been self-sufficient, but it does add a bit of insult to the injury to find out he was sponging off the same people he hated, maimed and killed: Marathon bombings mastermind Tamerlan Tsarnaev was living on taxpayer-funded state welfare benefits even as he [...]

I honor Earth Day pretty much how I celebrate Earth Hour: By keeping my own little corner of the world as clean as I can while mocking those who are flying high above our homes in their private jets — possibly on the way to one of their 20,000 square foot vacation homes (I’m looking [...]

Those right-wing, tea party types that Michael Moore and Chris Matthews said America needed to be on the lookout for after the Boston Marathon bombings?

And by “He” I’m referring to… Cesar Chavez: On Easter Sunday, Google is honoring the birthday of the late labor organizer Cesar Chavez by placing a Chavez portrait within the middle “o” of the Google logo that appears on the homepage of the popular search engine. While Google frequently decorates its logo to celebrate various [...]

A very merry Christmas to everybody! I’ll be spending the day with the family, and hope you all get a chance to do the same. The kids have already torn through the gifts, and in a while my wife and I will be trying to make the perfect prime rib. Fingers crossed. But if it [...]

NBC’s Medical Editor Nancy Snyderman discusses what she doesn’t like about Christmas: “I don’t like the religion part. I think religion is what mucks the whole thing up… I think that’s what makes the holidays so stressful.” Word is that Snyderman also doesn’t like the Spanish explorer part of Columbus Day, and she’d be down [...]

Surprisingly, this doesn’t have anything to do with something Chris Matthews said during his pre Thanksgiving dinner prayer. During the Soul Train Awards show that aired last night, actor/comedian Jamie Foxx said this: “It’s like church over here. It’s like church in here. First of all, give an honor to God and our lord and [...]

They’re still pretending this is all about some stupid video. Yes, our Middle East policy — or lack thereof — is now being based on full blown delusion, ignorance and incompetence. Assign a little of the responsibility for the backlash, protest and terrorist attacks to Obama’s continual spiking of the ball about killing Bin Laden? [...]
