  • The Rapture Came Early This Year: Falwell takes his leave.
    16 May 2007 par (Open-Publishing)

    Old Jerry was called by the Lord decades ago. He was skinnier then, but just as obnoxious. Today he slipped his mortal coil at 300 larded pounds and only 73. I have a dog older than that.
    He just couldn’t stay away from cheeseburgers. That’s cruel and puerile, I know, but that’s who I am, and let’s face it...ol’ Jer’ deserves it.
    There is no doubt that Mr.Falwell did indeed rise from a boisterous Southern preacher with a small church to become a man of huge influence in the (…)

    FALWELL’S LEGACY
    John Chuckman
    That great bulk, Jerry Falwell, has eaten his last family-size bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken.
    Yes, Jerry has ordered his last tent-sized silk suit, taken his last bag of cash from lonely old ladies, and ordered his last truckload of cheap, merchandising Bibles with his picture stamped on the cover. Gone on to his reward, as they say.
    He donated his organs, the only gesture of kindness recorded in his adult life, but they were all rejected, except for (…)

    “Failure is impossible!” - Susan B. Anthony, a leader of the Women’s Suffrage Movement

After about two hours of speechmaking, they formed a procession, entitled, “Mother of a (…)

    Heading into the Hellishly hot Iraq Summer once again. Fresh, wet-behind-the-ears Guard troops shipped into the broiler to fight a nondescript enemy of occupation. Some terrorists, some foreign religious fighters, some angry Iraqis whose parents or kids took a bullet of a bomb.
    As these new guys compliment the existing surge with trepidation and anxiety, motivated by career or ire or the dream of a good education at taxpayer expense...others, the hardened 3rd or 4th termers, with scorched (…)

  • Read All About It: Great Nation Still Perplexed Over Why it Went to War
    10 May 2007 par (Open-Publishing)

    Whoever tells the truth is chased out of nine villages. Turkish proverb The books pile up. Commentators liberally critique. Critics liberally comment. In a kaleidoscopic rush of analysis, disseminated mostly on the internet, the reasons and the causes for the Iraq War ceaselessly tumble forth. Sad, many of the moves are made to cover someone’s ass. Tenet didn’t mean ’Slam Dunk’ but ’Foul Shot’ it turns out. And he didn’t want to release the information he had before the election, well, (…)

    The War on Free Expression - by Stephen Lendman
    In a post-9/11 climate, the right of free expression is under attack and endangered in the age of George Bush when dissent may be called a threat to national security, terrorism, or treason. But losing that most precious of all rights means losing our freedom that 18th century French philosopher Voltaire spoke in defense of saying "I may disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." (…)
