Abir Aramin, Victim of the Palestinian Authority

Last Friday, I was shocked to see a series of photographs on the news wires, sent across by Reuters photographer Kevin Frayer, one of the photographers of Qana fame.

Newsweek’s Zakaria Slams Bush’s Attempts to Spread Democracy

There’s so much to find offensive about Fareed Zakaria’s article in this week’s Newsweek that it’s tough to know where to begin. Put simply, the piece stated rather strongly that President Bush is responsible for a declining rate of democracy around the world.Of course, one study that Zakaria cited to prove this premise “points out that 2006 was a bad year for liberty, under attack from creeping…

Chris Matthews Calls Hillary Clinton ‘Dukakis in a Dress

With the love-fest that is currently going on over Sen. Barack Obama (D-Illinois), it is certainly no surprise when a group of mainstream media members gets together to discuss Hillary Clinton’s shortcomings.

'Saturday Night Live' Slams Chris Matthews, Hillary Clinton, and the L

NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” did a wonderful sketch last evening that in one fell swoop made fun of “Hardball” host Chris Matthews, Sen. Hillary Clinton, and the media’s sycophantic enthrallment with the former first couple from Arkansas (video available here). The skit began with the mock Matthews gushing over finally getting the chance to interview Madame Clinton. After he finally composed…
