    Disowning Conservative Politics, Evangelical Pastor Rattles Flock By Laurie Goodstein Published: July 30, 2006
    MAPLEWOOD, Minn. - Like most pastors who lead thriving evangelical megachurches, the Rev. Gregory A. Boyd was asked frequently to give his blessing - and the church’s - to conservative political candidates and causes.
    The requests came from church members and visitors alike: Would he please announce a rally against gay marriage during services? Would he introduce a politician (…)

    Open Letter To The American Media By May Ibrahim July 27, 2006 Dear Members of the American Media, I have been following your coverage of the Israeli attack on Lebanon, and I am appalled to see the lack of information provided to your audience on the ACTUAL escalation of events that has truly led to this inconceivably unjust and criminal military onslaught onto Lebanon and its citizens by the government of Israel.
    Lebanon and the Lebanese population will suffer for months, if not (…)

    The US administration continues to provide Israel, its closest ally, with the most advanced weapons including the sophisticated Smart and Cluster bombs to be used in its continued war against Lebanon in much the same way they are being used against innocent civilians in the daily bombardment of Palestine.
    According to a report in the New York Times last Monday, the US (…)

    Lebanon: Some Primetime Lies From US Media Jonathan Cook, Arab News Monday, 31, July, 2006 Last week I had the pleasure to appear on American radio, on the Laura Ingraham show, pitted against David Horowitz, a “Semite supremacist” who most recently made his name under the banner of Campus Watch, leading McCarthyite witch-hunts against American professors who have the impertinence to suggest that maybe, just maybe, Arabs have minds and feelings like the rest of us.
    It was a revealing (…)

    Horse-Eating Foreigners Finding Friends In United States Congress By John Hanchette August 1, 2006
    Olean - For a while, this newspaper was one of the lonely few covering the fervid national debate over horses and whether they are just livestock and food for foreigners, or something more respected and treasured in American culture. Now, reporters and columnists all over the country are weighing in on the issue, and Congress took up the matter last week.

    Bits Of Homeland Stupidity By: Michael Hampton Posted: July 31, 2006 12:52 am Your government is slow, inefficient and stupid. It’s a miracle it ever manages to get anything done.

    Despite the occasional inconveniences, the natural inefficiency of government slows our approach to tyranny. Here are a few things that slowed down the government in the last few weeks.
    International travelers whose names even vaguely resemble those on a terrorist watch list have to (…)

  • Why I Quit Radio

    Why I Quit Radio By Mike Hudson August 1, 2006 If there’s one true thing about doing radio it’s that, to do it good, you’ve got to be pretty high while you’re doing it. Take Rush Limbaugh, for example. He couldn’t get one doctor to give him enough oxycontin to do his radio program, so he went around to a half-dozen doctors to supply him with multiple prescriptions of the so-called "hillbilly heroin" so that he could get through his show high as a kite.
    He’s got three stints in rehab to (…)
