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,

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.

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

Come on Joe! You don't have to make things up in order to beat Ned Lamont. You kicked his ass in the debate, plus he's endorsed by the Freshmaker. Even Rasmussen says that "[i]n the General Election, Lieberman wins handily as either a Democrat or an Independent."HAT TIP: Allahpundit

The title comes from a very funny Dave Chappelle show in which reparation money was distributed... anyway... aserious issue, if only because so many people take it seriously.Reparations for slavery are evidently gaining momentum.

All the stink over the search of Rep. Jefferson's (D-LA) office in the House building and now nothing... turns out it was legal and logical. The Judge held that barring searches of Congressional offices would turn Capitol Hill into "a taxpayer-subsidized sanctuary for crime."Read the full story here.How many hyped scandal and abuses can the press, Democrats, and even Republicans (e.g. Rep.

I will deny no man or woman a positive obituary or even a rose colored look at their life's accomplishments, but this article/obituary whitewashes one particular aspect of this doctor's career and it is too important to sugarcoat. Dr. John Money, a psychologist and sex researcher who coined the terms "gender identity" and "gender role" and was a pioneer in studies of sexual identity, has died.

This article is almost surreal. Could police and TSA officials actually clear this man for travel?The report states that a man with a Middle Eastern name and a ticket for a Delta Airlines flight to Atlanta shook his head when screeners asked if he had a laptop computer in his baggage, but an X-ray machine operator detected a laptop.A search of the man's baggage revealed a clock with a 9-volt

Both candidates for the Democratic slot on the gubernatorial ballot overplay their hands.The latest attack ads by Georgia Democratic gubernatorial candidates Cathy Cox and Mark Taylor certainly contain some facts, but veer off into insinuation and conjecture.Cox has little to back up her charge that opponent Mark Taylor’s “family interests” got "sweetheart deals" on state leases of their

This story highlights some horrors associated with sex abuse that are not ordinarily associated with the crime.Breast ironing of young girls leaves me with sadness for the girls, and for the parents who are harming their children, while trying to protect them from a greater evil. Nothing in the article implies maliciousness from the parents, only fear and ignorance. How about gun safety courses

Howard Dean issued the following statements in response to the New York Court of Appeals' decision providing that the state constitution does not guarantee the right to marriage for same-sex couples. The statements are quoted below and a translation is provided in italics:"As Democrats, we believe that every American has a right to equal protection under the law and to live in dignity."

A report comes out today, on the anniversary of the London 7/7 bombing, that we've uncovered a plot to bomb NYC tunnels --- to be funded by NONE OTHER THAN ASSOCIATES OF ABU MUSAB AL-ZARQAWI.One arrest in Lebanon has been made. More here.Can anyone really argue that Bush's policy of taking it to the terrorists so that they stay busy fighting us in Iraq, et. al. has not helped keep America safe?

This article claims that abortions in Britain have hit record levels. Using the numbers found in this article the following is true:* 186,416 abortions were performed in Great Britain in 2005;* Only 1% ("nearly 2000") were at risk of being born physically or mentally handicapped;* More than 1,000 girls under 15 had an abortion (a 4.7 percent increase over 2004);* 41,012 pre born children were

The "no political party affiliation" Rhode Island Attorney General is being investigated. No where in the article or on his website, is his political party mentioned. It turns out he's a Democrat (look at the bottom of page).Here's another article which mentions he a Democrat. I guess (with very few exceptions) party affiliation is only important when a Democrat does something positive or a

See update below.New York Court of Appeals "Claims" Gay Marriage Is An Issue For Legislature.New York's highest court ruled that New York law clearly defines a marriage as between a man and a woman and the law is consitutional.

This is a good article about the Vatican's response to Muslim oppression of Christians. (HAT TIP: Little Green Footballs).My thoughts:Although turning the other cheek is Christ's teaching, I've never been able to reconcile that with foreign policy, especially when dealing with something (be it a nation or an ideology) whose goal is total destruction or capitulation of Christian nations generally
