The Impotent and Lousy: History's 10 Worst Royal Nicknames

#10.Harald I, the Lousy This king wasn't lousy as in "below average." On the contrary - in 872 AD, he founded the kingdom of Norway at 22-years-old, an age when many of us were beer-bonging our way through bachelor's degrees. More>>> Friday, June 27
Obama’s Efforts to Fund the Self-Described ‘Most Aggressive Group in the Gun Control Movement’
by
Riley Jones
on Fri 27 Jun 2008 04:07 PM EDT
Yesterday I wrote that despite Barack Obama’s claims that he believes in the Second Amendment, is a friend to gun owners, never supported a complete ban on handguns (despite a questionnaire from early in his career stating he did), etc., those claims are hard to balance with his approval of Chicago’s effective ban on handguns. In Obama's entire time in the city, there’s no record of him ever objecting to it. Obama’s audacity on this issue goes even further. Obama was named a director of the Joyce Foundation in late 1994, and remained in that position until late 2002. More>>> Thursday, June 26
Court rules in favor of Second Amendment gun right
by
Riley Jones
on Thu 26 Jun 2008 10:30 AM EDT
The Supreme Court says Americans have a right to own guns for self-defense and hunting, the justices' first major pronouncement on gun rights in U.S. history. The court's 5-4 ruling strikes down the District of Columbia's 32-year-old ban on handguns as incompatible with gun rights under the Second Amendment. The decision goes further than even the Bush administration wanted, but probably leaves most firearms laws intact. More>>> Wednesday, June 25
Just Wondering...

Where are all of the Hollywood celebrities holding telethons asking for help in restoring Iowa and helping the folks affected by the floods? Where is all the media asking the tough questions about why the federal government hasn't solved the problem? Asking where the FEMA trucks (and trailers) are? Why isn't the Federal Government relocating Iowa people to free hotels in Chicago and Houston? more » Tuesday, June 24
Bill Bennett: 10 Concerns about Barack Obama
by
Riley Jones
on Tue 24 Jun 2008 11:21 AM EDT
1. Barack Obama’s foreign policy is dangerous, naïve, and betrays a profound misreading of history. For at least the past five years, Democrats and liberals have said our standing in the international community has suffered from a “cowboy” or “go-it-alone” foreign policy. While politicians with favorable views of our president have been elected in Germany, Italy, France, and elsewhere, Barack Obama is giving cause to make our allies even more nervous. This past Sunday’s Washington Post reported, “European officials are increasingly concerned that Sen. Barack Obama’s campaign pledge to begin direct talks with Iran on its nuclear program without preconditions could potentially rupture U.S. relations with key European allies early in a potential Obama administration.” More>>> Monday, June 23
1995- Barack Obama used Racial Epithets to refer to Blacks and Jews
by
Riley Jones
on Mon 23 Jun 2008 10:29 PM EDT
In the book "Dreams of my Father," written in 1995 by Barack Obama he needlessly uses some very offensive terms for shock value to describe two minority groups. This is what some people want in a President? Page Two of the linked article:“I wanted to show how and why some kids, maybe especially young black men, flirt with danger and self-destruction.”) He went to Columbia University, and liked New York, but he found the city’s racial tension inescapable. It “flowed freely,” he wrote in his memoir—“not just out on the streets but in the stalls of Columbia’s bathrooms as well, where, no matter how many times the administration tried to paint them over, the walls remained scratched with blunt correspondence between niggers and kikes. It was as if all middle ground had collapsed.” NewYorker.com>>>

Pakistan Times publisher Sheikh Najam Ali has been looking over his shoulder every day for a month since running an ad that proved controversial in the local Muslim community. The ad, announcing a local Ahmadiyya celebration and describing the faith as Muslim, prompted death threats from anonymous callers, cancellations from advertisers and the removal of his papers in bulk from various distribution sites, he said More>>> Thursday, June 19

The iconic Chrysler and Flatiron skycrapers may soon join New York's GM Building as landmarks sold in part to Arab or European investors as the weak dollar spurs property grabs in the Big Apple, reports said Friday. The 50-story General Motors Building, constructed in 1968 and which includes the Apple Store on Fifth Avenue, has already been sold -- for a record-breaking 2.8 billion dollars -- to US real estate firm Boston Properties, backed by investors from Dubai, Kuwait and Qatar More>>> Friday, June 13

BUSH'S AMERICA: 100 PERCENT AL-QAIDA FREE SINCE 2001
by
Riley Jones
on Thu 12 Jun 2008 05:24 PM EDT
In a conversation recently, I mentioned as an aside what a great president George Bush has been and my friend was surprised. I was surprised that he was surprised. I generally don't write columns about the manifestly obvious, but, yes, the man responsible for keeping Americans safe from another terrorist attack on American soil for nearly seven years now will go down in history as one of America's greatest presidents. Produce one person who believed, on Sept. 12, 2001, that there would not be another attack for seven years, and I'll consider downgrading Bush from "Great" to "Really Good."

Obama Defense of Johnson Raises Questions
by
Riley Jones
on Wed 11 Jun 2008 06:06 PM EDT
Obama is on the defensive over his selection of James A. Johnson, the former CEO of Fannie Mae, to help lead the vice presidential search process, a role he played for John F. Kerry four years ago. Johnson is drawing fire over his jumbo home loans from Countrywide Financial, a major actor in the subprime mortgage mess, that may have been below market rates. The loans were first reported by the Wall Street Journal. Johnson also has drawn criticism in the past for his role in generous compensation packages to executives of companies on whose boards he served.

Heterosexual AIDS epidemic? Not outside of Africa
by

on Sun 08 Jun 2008 09:02 PM EDT
A quarter of a century after the outbreak of Aids, the World Health Organisation (WHO) has accepted that the threat of a global heterosexual pandemic has disappeared. In the first official admission that the universal prevention strategy promoted by the major Aids organisations may have been misdirected, Kevin de Cock, the head of the WHO's department of HIV/Aids said there will be no generalised epidemic of Aids in the heterosexual population outside Africa.

Darwin 'ripped off' theory of evolution
by
Riley Jones
on Sun 08 Jun 2008 08:05 AM EDT
According to author Roy Davies, former head of factual programming for BBC Wales, new evidence demonstrates that Charles Darwin stole his theory of evolution from a Welsh scientist working in Indonesia. And according to Australia's Northern Territory News, Davies' publisher is launching a campaign to have the Australian city of Darwin renamed after the Welshman. If Davies and his publisher get their way, the theory of evolution may soon be known as "Wallace's Theory," and the capital of Australia's Northern Territory will become some derivation of Alfred Russel Wallace's name.

WSJ: How FDR prolonged the Depression
by
Riley Jones
on Sun 08 Jun 2008 12:42 AM EDT
People these days fear inflation. We also fear changing rates of inflation. And most of the tools we might use to protect ourselves, such as the Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities bond or gold stocks, are imperfect. TIPS are, after all, based on an inflation-measure whose accuracy is itself controversial – the Consumer Price Index. So it's worth remembering that, 75 years ago today, President Franklin D. Roosevelt destroyed an inflation hedge that was literally as good as gold: the so-called "gold clause." This helped prolong the Depression and has been causing damage ever since.

Truman Good? Bush Bad? 'What - Me Worry?' Look again
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Thu 05 Jun 2008 02:27 PM EDT
The Korean War commenced on June 25, 1950. On that day, with the information at hand, Gen. Douglas MacArthur said, "This is probably only a reconnaissance in force. If those asses back in Washington only will not hobble me, I can handle it with one arm tied behind my back." But it was soon obvious that the move was much more an all-out attempt to take over the entire country than a re-con operation. How could all those CIA and military experts have missed their mark so badly? More>>> Wednesday, June 4

Why We Went to Iraq by Fouad Ajami

Of all that has been written about the play of things in Iraq, nothing that I have seen approximates the truth of what our ambassador to Baghdad, Ryan Crocker, recently said of this war: "In the end, how we leave and what we leave behind will be more important than how we came."

Che Guevara: Assassin and Bumbler
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Tue 03 Jun 2008 04:20 AM EDT
They say Lewis Carroll was a serious dope fiend, his mind totally scrambled on opium, when he concocted "Alice in Wonderland." A place where the sentence comes first and the verdict afterward, where people who protest the madness are sentenced to death themselves – what lunacy! If only Carroll had lived a bit longer. If only he'd visited Cuba in 1959 when every paper from the New York Times to the London Observer – when every pundit from Walter Lippman to Ed Murrow, every author from Jean Paul Sartre to Norman Mailer, every TV host from Jack Paar to Ed Sullivan were touting the judicial outrages, mass larceny and firing-squad orgies instituted by Fidel Castro and Che Guevara as the most glorious events since VJ day.
