What a joke. They claim that 'child marriage' is 'tribal custom.' Child Marriage is part and parcel of Islam. I wish the Main Stream Media would stop making excuses for this brutal belief system.- Riley

Beer pong, also known as beirut, lob pong, or many other names is a wildly popular college drinking game. It involves making a triangle of filled beer cups on each side of the table. Each team then takes terms bouncing ping pong balls at the other team’s cups. If the ball goes in, the other team has to chug the cup of beer. The winning team is the first to eliminate the others cups. The losing team has to chug the winners' remaining cups. More>>>

Sen. Barack Obama said he voted for the surveillance bill because it will help protect the nation. Sen. Barack Obama's vote for a federal surveillance law that he had previously opposed has sparked a backlash from his online advocates, who had energized his campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination. In October, Obama had vowed to help filibuster an update of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) that gave telecommunication companies that had cooperated with President Bush's warrantless wiretapping program immunity from lawsuits.

on Fri 11 Jul 2008 05:06 PM EDT
At one time or another, most fishermen have a Jaws moment. For one gnarled veteran trawling Tuggerah Lake, actually a smallish freshwater lagoon situated about 90 km north of Sydney, that moment came just over an hour before sunrise on July 9. Police have declined to release the name of the fisherman, whom they describe as elderly and harboring a mistrust of the media. His version of what happened comes through police and, though emanating from a commuter suburb of Sydney, Australia, has made it around the world More>>>

America was quick to respond to Senator Phil Gramm’s accusation yesterday that the country “had become a nation of whiners,” filing a massive class-action lawsuit against the Texas Republican that demanded unprecedented financial compensation for “tarnishing our unblemished reputation as hard-working, resilient folk who never seek the easy way out.” More>>>

Those who oppose homosexuality for religious reasons are participating in "hate," according to an official for McDonald's, the worldwide purveyor of Big Macs and Happy Meals. "Hatred has no place in our culture," corporate spokesman Bill Whitman told the Washington Post in response to a campaign by the American Family Association for a boycott of the burger-and-fries outlets because of the corporation's advocacy for the homosexual lifestyle.

Girl publishes comments about alleged wild party. Newspapers pick them up as a story. Mother sues newspapers for defamation.

It read like the teenage party from hell: a riot of sex and wanton damage fuelled by under-age drinking that only ended when the police arrived. According to media reports, the mother of the teenage hostess was so angry with her daughter that she punched her. But Jodie Hudson's lurid description of the party on the social networking website Bebo, subsequently carried in a number of national newspapers, turned out to be fantasy. The media stories, and the accompanying pictures taken from Bebo, are now the subject of a landmark legal case that could redraw the boundaries of the use of information published on social networking sites including Bebo, Facebook and MySpace.

Fannie, Freddie, FUBAR: The Mother of All Bailouts

on Fri 11 Jul 2008 11:35 AM EDT
Oh, triple-crikey. God save us from bipartisanship again. Washington is in a tizzy over the Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac financial crisis. The stocks plunged yesterday and a former Fed governor declared them “insolvent.” Keep an eye on the markets this morning for more freefall. Panicked Republicans and Democrats have joined clammy hands to declare their fealty to these behemoth government-sponsored enterprises because they are “too big to fail.” More>>>

Is the Left throwing Jesse under the bus?
by
Riley Jones
on Fri 11 Jul 2008 09:12 AM EDT
"Jackson's claim to have been caught unbeknownst by a "hot mike" slurring and threatening Barack Obama is complete hogwash. Somewhere, deep down, he wanted the world - and Obama - to know how much he wants to "cut his nuts out." Veterinarians and doctors talk about cutting nuts "off." Only a thug or a gangster cuts a man's nuts "out." And Jackson knows better than most the vicious symbolism of castration and its blood-soaked link to lynchings in the Old South." Jesse, it doesn't matter that it was Obama who played on an ugly stereotype on Father's Day, calling Black Father's 'boys' and it doesn't matter that you've championed civil rights for ~40 years. Barack can do No Wrong in the eyes of the Media and the Left, which these days are generally one and the same.-Riley More>>>

by

on Fri 11 Jul 2008 03:21 AM EDT
Once again, a congressional commission is warning that an electromagnetic pulse attack against the United States could wipe out the nation's electronics-dependent civilization. And again, hardly anyone is listening. Only a handful of the 60 members of the House Armed Services Committee showed up for a hearing on the EMP threat July 10, and most didn't stick around for the whole two-hour session. More>>> |
