Although Muslims say their religion is a peaceful one, many Americans are inclined to call bullshit. How do they expect us to believe they’re all about loving one another when their own behavior seems to indicate otherwise? Slaughtering thousands of Americans on 9/11 was not their lone foray into killing; one can turn [...]

Parents who fear that their college-aged “children” will be brainwashed by Ward Churchill can rest easy now, knowing that Churchill’s radically liberal views are counterbalanced by the radically conservative “thought cops” on Fox, where pseudo-journalism posing as news acts as a check and balance to free speech in the United States.
Now that Ward Churchill [...]

Divert your eyes. Not looking at something means it isn’t really there. Or so goes the thinking of big dumb birds.
According to popular legend, when an ostrich spots something unpleasant–such as a hungry tiger charging its way–the bird’s gut instinct is neither to flee nor to fight its impending foe, but to bury [...]

I tend to steer clear of the marijuana debate, mainly because it seems like an area where educated people are consistently made to look like fools by those who have no clue what the hell they’re talking about. But the timing of the AP’s release of this story is too unbelievable for me not to [...]

After showing a video of retired elementary school teacher Robert Davis being ruthlessly attacked by New Orleans police officers in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, O’Reilly acknowledged that it looked kind of disturbing.
To be sure, [...]
