The savage attack at Valleyfair on the night of July 4 horrified Minnesotans. A father was beaten and kicked unconscious as he tried to protect his 12-year-old daughter from being sexually groped by two men..Did these monsters descend out of nowhere on Valleyfair, a place we associate with wholesome family fun? Hardly. The attitudes they acted out in extreme fashion are part of a culture More>>> The attackers... More>>>

'Dark Knight' sets box office record with $66.4M

Batman's joust with the Joker has set another box office record. Stoked by fan fever over the manic performance of the late Heath Ledger as the Joker, "The Dark Knight" set a one-day box office record with $66.4 million on opening day, Warner Bros. head of distribution Dan Fellman said Saturday. Rating (Out of Five possible Shot Glasses): 
As a rational conservative I will say that when you know someone plans to murder additional people and you don't kill them when you have the opportunity, you're partly responsible for deaths of additional innocents. Like any legal gun owner will tell you, if it comes down to a choice between shooting-to-kill or permitting a known criminal to rape, kill or steal then you remove said criminal from the realm of the living- end of story. Other than the typical Hollywood PC message of 'killing is always immoral' it was an outstanding film. I walked out of the theatre with the same feeling I had after watching 'Saving Private Ryan' ten years ago. Yes, that good. Sometimes doing what is good, what is right, what is necessary takes everything. And The Dark Knight illustrates that fact almost as good as Spielberg's World War Two classic. More>>>

The U.S. media has at last woken up to the realities of the Afghan war and the news couldn't be more grim. Judging from the tone of the coverage the entire rebuilding effort in Afghanistan is near collapse. Here in Canada reporters and editors have picked up the theme. If a senior Canadian soldier or official dares point out that there has, actually, been some progress in Kandahar, he is quickly dismissed. More>>>

President Jimmy Carter, 1979 - "The Crisis of Confidence" Speech
by
Riley Jones
on Sat 19 Jul 2008 12:54 PM EDT
President Carter speaks to Americans about the "crisis of confidence" in American government, values, and way of life, as the public expresses doubt in a better future for their own children. Carter challenges citizens to unite and address the problems in America by first addressing the energy shortage. One of the few things Carter did right and we dropped the ball because oil was cheap. Time to deal with this folks; we're Americans. We're smart and resouceful enough to find a way not to funnel $700 Billion yearly to people who hate us to buy their oil.- Riley

Asked if he thought Obama was a socialist, McCain answered: “I don’t know. All I know is his voting record, and that’s what people usually judge their elected representatives by.” More>>>

Wall-E IS Gay

We can even almost reasonably imagine Bert and Ernie as the classic co-dependent gay couple, endlessly arguing over the curtains. But to turn this sweet, lonely, Clutterers Anonymous robotic wannabe turned megastar at the megaplex into a closet case just strains credulity, doesn't it? Heck, no! It's as clear as the lack of a nose on his cute little binocular face, he's a big homo-robo if ever there was one! This is the second article I've come across where people are pondering Wall-E's orientation... that is if he has a gender at all.. -Riley More>>>
