Despite the “new anti-semitism” Bill Clinton seems to think the world is undergoing with regards to muslims…

The Palestinians are always being championed by their Arab and Muslim brothers, those nations that are practically swimming in oil and oil revenues. Meanwhile, they denounce the United States as “puppets of the Jews” and enemies of the Palestinian [...]

The Hypocrisy of Boing Boing

Boing Boing has historically come out repeatedly against RFID tags (see here), but when Christians do it, their reasoning is suspect and they are subject to ridicule:

The US State Department has said that RFID-chipped passports will not be issued to travelers “until privacy-related concerns have been addressed.” Initial public feedback was overwhelmingly negative, and much [...]

When a bug dyes, they have to warn you…

“Beetlejuice” is more than just a movie name — foodmakers regularly use crushed female cochineal beetles to dye food, particularly certain yogurts, juices and candy, The Wall Street Journal reported today.

While shocking, it’s perfectly legal, the paper reports. Foodmakers don’t have to list the bug-based ingredient, because beetles are part of nature. Only man-made dyes, [...]

British school bans raising hands

LONDON, Jan. 28 (UPI) — A school in London has banned children from raising their hands in class and teachers from calling on students with their hands raised.

Stern: Boring (Duh)

From Rolling Stone:

Howard’s End
Stern’s show puts the “um” in “tedium”

Like most people who aren’t from New York, I have always found it hard to pry my eyes open while Howard Stern is talking. In theory, I approve of the whole offensive/obscene/outrageous shock-radio shtick, but the only thing that’s ever offended me about his show is [...]

New York Times Takes Sleaze Route

Steve Safran caught a particularly nasty and vindictive little snipe in the New York Times today, and it didn’t really surprise me that they felt it, only that they dared say it:

Omar Minaya was terrific this week, doing his best, in a cool and understated and graceful way, to dismiss an issue about the racial [...]
