Condoleezza Rice says that the effects of slavery are a "birth defect" for black Americans.
In 2002, David Bonior and Jim McDermott, both Democrat members of the House of Representatives, flew to Baghdad to meet with Saddam Hussein and plead for the Bush Administration to cease its military threats against the Iraqi Baathists. It turns out that the trip was paid for by Saddam Hussein.
The Obamas have released their 2006 income tax return and guess what -- the couple earned nearly $1 million in salaries ($350,000 in salaries for Michelle alone) and income from sales of Barack's books. Not too shabby for living in a nation that is so racist that neither Barack Obama's wife nor his pastor can find much nice to say about it. By the way, Rev. Jeremiah Wright will soon me movin' on up, into a deluxe $1.6 million home in an exclusive (and mostly white) gated community in suburban Chicago. Again, for an oppressed man living in a nation dominated by white devils and racists, he hasn't done too poorly himself.
In this Village Voice piece, playwright and film director David Mamet alludes something that I have observed for some time, yet that few others have written about -- the so-called "Bush Doctrine" isn't something new and revolutionary, it is simply a recapitulation of Kennedy-era foreign policy. I'll see your Iraq, and raise you a Bay of Pigs and Vietnam.
A European neurosurgeon believes that radiation from cell phones is more dangerous than asbestos and cigarette smoke. Yikes.
It seems that corporate accounting firm KPMG is in hot water again, this time using creative accounting techniques to help California-based New Century Mortgage to show a profit on paper, when they were really on the verge of bankruptcy. KPMG has already gained some degree of infamy due to prior investigations into alleged creative accounting practices. But they are probably best known in blogging circles for this disaster of a corporate anthem:
KPMG
We're strong as can be
A dream of power and energy
We go for the goal
Together we hold
On to our vision of global strategy...
A few week ago, the Pentagon released a comprehensive report outlining the ties between Saddam Hussein's Ba'athist regime and numerous well-known terror outfits including Hamas, The Army of Muhammad, and Islamic Jihad. Of course, the only thing reported in the press was that the report failed to find evidence of the Left's favorite red herring, the imaginary "link" between Saddam and 9/11. For the record -- yet again -- a "link" (which never existed) between Saddam and 9/11 was never used by President Bush as a primary reason to depose Saddam Hussein.
The Catholic Church is now recognizing ecological offenses as social sin. And last month, the Southern Baptists signed a declaration stating that the evidence of global warming is "substantial," and that the threat of climate change is "too grave" to allow us to wait any longer before addressing it. It's not often that you see the SBC and the Vatican agreeing on a global issue.
