Why Can’t Muhammad Be as Funny as the Pope?

February 28th, 2012

By Tom Carter The media are loath to write or depict anything that might inflame Muslims to come looking for them with knives, guns, bombs, or airplanes. Part of the reason is fear, and who can blame them — no one wants to be murdered. Another part is their antipathy toward Jews and Israel and [...]

The Humpty Dumpty President’s Magic Words

September 6th, 2011

By Dan Miller “When I use a word,” Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, “it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.” My first blog article on political matters, published on April 1, 2008, and republished here a few days ago, was titled “Words, Words, Words! I’m [...]

Microwave Mind Control? Federal Research Funds Needed

April 4th, 2011

By Dan Miller At least modest coverage has been given by the tabloid press to claims of secretive governmental efforts at mind control through the use of microwave technology. Recent incidents of incoherent blathering by television news personalities have been attributed to those efforts: [T]he presenters have started off speaking properly but have then descended [...]

A Delicious Orgy

January 17th, 2011

By Nancy Morgan Game, set and match to the leftist media. Once again, they have defined the issue and set the terms of the debate on the horrific shootings in Arizona last weekend.

Against Free Speech

December 11th, 2009

By Brianna Aubin As I’m sure every reader of this blog is already aware, it is very important that words and language be used responsibly. After all, words matter. Language matters.

Mao and Mother Teresa

October 26th, 2009

Yes, Mao Tse Tung and Mother Theresa. Not two people you often hear coupled together, right? Or at least, that’s what Anita Dunn, White House Communications Director said when she listed them as two of her favorite political philosophers: The third lesson and tip actually come from two of my favorite political philosophers: Mao Tse-tung [...]

The Fairness Doctrine

February 5th, 2009

Seems that the ill-named Fairness Doctrine may be rearing its ugly head again. It’s nothing more than a device to stifle free speech, originated in the 1920s when radio was the only broadcast medium and frequencies were scarce.
