The fire was started by an incendiary device, such as a Molotov cocktail, thrown at a steel door, causing no damage. It is being investigated by the department’s arson unit, but has not yet been classified as a hate crime.“At this point, there’s nothing that would indicate that this is a hate crime,” Moses said. “They have problems with juveniles in that area.”I wonder if this is another "lone

Michelle Malkin has an excellent piece entitled "When did 9/11 become a laughing matter?"I couldn't link to the actual piece so you may have to scroll down once she puts up new posts, but it's worth it.The dhimmitude and the sheer hypocrisy of running a "satirical show" that shows Tony Blair being murdered, a plane flying in to Parliament, and a "Terrorist Awards" show.All this from the network,

This is great news!Marine Names Murtha in Defamation SuitA Marine Corps staff sergeant who led the squad accused of killing two dozen civilians in Haditha, Iraq, will file a lawsuit today in federal court in Washington claiming that Rep. John P. Murtha (D-Pa.) defamed him when the congressman made public comments about the incident earlier this year.Attorneys for Frank D. Wuterich, 26, argue in

The prisoners held at Guantanamo Bay during the war on terror have attacked their military guards hundreds of times, turning broken toilet parts, utensils, radios and even a bloody lizard tail into makeshift weapons, Pentagon reports say. Incident reports reviewed by The Associated Press indicate Military Police guards are routinely head-butted, spat upon and doused by "cocktails" of feces, urine

Sorry for the redundancy but this story highlights some of the evil lurking in our world.This is why anyone who claims GW as the world's greatest terrorist (or anything similarly related) has no credibility.This story shows evil on many levels.

How the hell is this news?Who cares that Michael Moore says that conservatives hug him? Plus, name one!This "news story" was covered by more than 5 different news agencies and the rest somehow tied in his "claim of hugs" into his film festival.Jason Smith over at Newbusters had similar thoughts and provides a better analysis.

Zawahiri Threatens Revenge for Israeli AttacksAl-Qaida's number two leader has vowed revenge for Israel's offensives in Lebanon and the Gaza Strip... In a taped message... al-Zawahiri said the terrorist network will not remain silent while Israeli bombardments "burn our brothers."

A comprehensive survey of the Iraqi people was recently completed and it provides a useful reality check to the assumptions that 'Operation Iraqi Freedom as a failure for various reasons: Iraqis are too sectarian to form a nation; they reject democracy as an imposition; or the average Iraqi lives a life of fear due to the deterioration of security since Saddam’s fall.'Getting a lot of press at

An article entitled, THE MINORITY PARTNER PARADOX, details a "controversial theory" that lowering academic standards in order to increase diversity in hiring (for large law firms) actually harms minority applicants. This grade gap ultimately hinders the minority associates, writes Sander, and whether they are less able than their white colleagues or merely perceived as such, they find themselves

The House voted to pass the Pledge Protection Act on Wednesday 7/19, which strips federal judges of their jurisdiction to hear challenges to the Pledge of Allegiance.It's nice to see the House use their constitutional power to define all federal courts' jurisdiction.
