I was watching TV with my roommate the other day when we saw that Tom Arnold was hosting some bullshit awards show, or something of that nature, and my roommate said that Tom Arnold would do anything as long as you paid him. I agreed and then said that he would probably hang out at [...]
Check out this really funny rap about the Chronicles of Narnia that was on Saturday Night Live–I know, I was surprised they would have something funny on too. Best line: “You can call us Aaron Burr the way we’re dropping Hamiltons.”
Anyone who has seen much of Da Ali G Show is surely familiar with Borat, Ali G’s Kazakhstani alter-ego. If you aren’t familiar with the character, he gets away with outrageous stunts in America–like performing a song called “Throw the Jew Down the Well” in a bar and campaigning with a congressman by telling voters [...]

This insurgency is best understood, not as a band of freedom fighters or evil incarnate, but as a movement with an intuitive grasp of the West’s fearful psychology. Insurgents who pay attention to our debates about the [...]
It would seem that much of the information used by President Bush to lead us into war with Iraq was based on information obtained from one Ibn al-Shaykh al-Libi, an al-Qaeda operative captured in Afghanistan, while he was being tortured by Egyptian authorities. From the New York Times: A classified Defense Intelligence Agency report issued [...]
Here’s a good Joe Sobran article on how Americans as a people have gone from free men who paid no heed to bureaucratic nonsense to a bunch of obsequious mendicants requiring a license for every little act. Highlights: ….Americans are still permitted to do a great many things, though not as many things as their [...]
So you know how the two air marshals shot and killed that guy on the flight to Ecuador yesterday, claiming that he was yelling that he had a bomb? Well, it is quite clear now that no matter what was said he didn’t have a bomb. Of course, if he had in fact been yelling [...]
