Domestic Terrorism Works
When an act of violence causes a nation to rethink its politics and policies, count that as a successful act of terrorism. If 9/11 had caused us to convert to Islam, or withdraw our support of Israel, or withdraw our bases from the “Holy Land,” Al-Qaeda would have marked one in their “win” column.

“(A)…acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws...”
– From the USA PATRIOT act, defining “domestic terroism.”
Scott Roeder killed Dr. George Tiller, because George Tiller legally supplied abortions to women. Roeder is on trial today, and may have his conviction reduced from first-degree murder to manslaughter, despite the fact that he has...

The Supreme Court has lifted limits on how much a corporation can donate to a political campaign spend on political advertising. There is now no hope of a citizen-sponsored candidate rising to Congress (or higher), since the smallest contribution media buy by Chevron will grossly outweigh the largest contribution of media buy by thousands of citizens.
Following is the top 10 of 2009’s...
Haitians Need Help, Not Evangelism →
Faith Comes By Hearing is a Christian group that just sent 600 solar-powered audio-Bibles to Haiti.
I’ve done some math using these figures to put that into perspective.
FCBH’s own website asks for a…

WatchPat “Homosexuality Caused Hurricane Katrina” Robertson is blaming the earthquake in Haiti on the deal Haitians made with the devil for independence from France. (Jump to about 6:00 in the video). He says a “massive turn to God” will save them from this “curse.” 96% of Haiti professes some form of Christianity, btw.

“People of Earth:
In the last few days, I’ve been getting a lot of sympathy...”
– Conan O’Brien, in a statement regarding NBC’s recent late-night cockup.
I’ll be the first to say that TV sucks. It absolutely and unabashedly sucks, with very few exceptions. Conan O’Brien’s work on SNL, The Simpsons, Late Night, and now The Tonight Show are some of...

…point them to these findings by researchers from Texas and Brazil. The team has discovered a species of ant that has evolved to be exclusively female. No males are born, and the females can reproduce without them.
But then again, these findings could be used to bolster the fears of every idiot who’s just now learning about feminism from Rush Limbaugh.
Just a reminder: Saying “__________ is murder” is not an argument.

When is a murder not a murder?
I guess when the victim is a doctor who performs abortions and the murderer is a fanatic who thinks he’s justified in shooting an unarmed man point blank in the forehead.
The judge in the case of Scott Roeder, who has admitted to planning the killing and then shooting Dr. George Tiller in the head at Tiller’s church last May while...

Spider-Man 4 is Dead, Zombie Corpse to Reappear in...
Spider-Man 4 was basically cancelled overnight. Sony wanted a new Spider-Man film for summer 2011, and Raimi said he couldn’t have one ready by then. As such, Sony cancelled the film and is slating up a reboot in order to have a Spider-Man film in theaters next summer. Clearly Sony respects the artistic integrity of its films.
With a development cycle only 50% longer than one of the Saw...
