View Article  Iran shoots down U.S. spy drone!

TEHRAN, Jan. 16 (Xinhua) -- Iranian troops have shot down a U.S. pilotless spy plane recently, an Iranian lawmaker announced on Tuesday as the Islamic Republic was facing increasing military pressure from its arch rival -- the United States.

I don't see this being reported anywhere else so it remains to be seen if the article is valid. All we need now is for someone in Iran to kidnap an American soldier and we'll have ourselves a shootin' war.

View Article  Commentary: Why Martin Luther King, Jr. was a Republican

 

It should come as no surprise that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a Republican. In that era, almost all black Americans were Republicans. Why? From its founding in 1854 as the anti-slavery party until today, the Republican Party has championed freedom and civil rights for blacks. And as one pundit so succinctly stated, the Democrat Party is as it always has been, the party of the four S's: slavery, secession, segregation and now socialism.

View Article  Casual sex is a con: women just aren't like men

The Sixties generation thought everything should be free. But only a few decades later the hippies were selling water at rock festivals for $5 a bottle. But for me the price of “free love” was even higher.

I sacrificed what should have been the best years of my life for the black lie of free love. All the sex I ever had — and I had more than my fair share — far from bringing me the lasting relationship I sought, only made marriage a more distant prospect.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad ducked a direct question by reporters Sunday about whether Iran was arming and supporting insurgents responsible for countless attacks in Iraq.

Speaking on the sidelines of his meeting with Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega, Ahmadinejad said the charges were merely an attempt by the United States "to cover their failures by other means."
