I'm just astonished by anyone capable of such acts. I was exploring what is perceived to be the "shocking" element of this story. Part of it is the crime, and part of it is the fact that Mr. Deleon is an ex-Power Ranger. Wouldn't you agree that the media are playing up that aspect? I do agree, thou...

My mind is filled with bliss thinking back to that thread. Well, not really. "Filled with bliss"...appropriate comment, seeing as how you and the oft-quoted M*****l got into a bit of a dust-up towards the end. I guess when you repeatedly ask an increasingly incoherent poster to explain himself, he'...

Isn't it odd that we struggle with the (alleged) fact that a former TV actor can also be a homicidal psychopath? It's as if we think that anyone stable enough to land a part in a TV show can't be capable of such brutality (which will -- no doubt -- be used by Mr. Deleon's defense attorneys during th...

But the documents revealed that no positive identification was ever made because an officer was "relieving himself" at the time Mr de Menezes left the building. Perhaps "positive identification" in this context means "correct identification." It seems that this all got started when one of the backu...

I'm now waiting for the apologies from all the rabid war bloggers out there who were spouting, "He deserved what he got because he was wearing a heavy coat and he ran from the cops and he was brown! It's the price we pay for freedom! The US could learn something from those brave UK policemen!" Here...

I thought this commentary in The Daily Reckoning did a nice job of summing up (with some humorous exaggerations) of what seems to be the general American attitude. Edited by me for brevity. Americans now depend on the savings of Communist China in order to pay for their lifestyles...and their wars t...

...you will find that the science that once refuted God completely... Yikes..."refuted" means "to prove wrong by argument or evidence." AFAIK, science has *never* claimed a "scientific proof" of the non-existence of God. What scientists do is search for empirical (natural) explanations for empirica...

Re: Want to make your son straight? Whip it out!
He can play rough-and-tumble games with his son, in ways that are decidedly different from the games he would play with a little girl. He can help his son learn to throw and catch a ball. He can teach him to pound a square wooden peg into a square hole in a pegboard. And if my son isn't interested ...

I'm thinking that, by this point, Cindy Sheehan has realized that actually talking to Bush is a total waste of time (aside from her own personal reasons). Perhaps from the very beginning she expected the cold shoulder, but I'd bet she never thought Bush would turn out to be this callous. Does Bush r...

Military service isn't for our son. It isn't for our kind of people . I wonder, would her hypocrisy and elitism extend to the point of supporting Bush if he wanted to reinstate the draft, and then moving heaven and earth to make sure her son got a deferment? If not a deferment, then at least one of...
