Chairman Of Amnesty International Finland: Israel A “Scum” State
24. August 2010
What do you know, a top Amnesty International official is an anti-Israeli leftist who only likes Jews who vocally condemn other Jews. Go figure. Oh, and he stands by his comments. He’s proud of his anti-Israeli, anti-American (read the whole story) stance, and he’s not backing down in the face of reality. Oh: By the [...]

The British National Health Service has banned anti-cancer drug Avastin over the drug’s cost.

Modern America: Gateway Arch Suffers From Rust & Decay
24. August 2010
Twentieth century America built the Gateway Arch as a monument to the westward expansion of the United States. Twenty-first century America allows the Gateway Arch to rust and corrode, apparently as a metaphor for our global standing and fiscal health. Almost 45 years into its reign atop the St. Louis skyline, the 630-foot monument is [...]

Sherrod: My Old Job Back? No Thanks
24. August 2010
I figure she’s angling for one of two things: 1) Major cash from a lawsuit, or 2) A new job as an activist/lecturer/scholar at some liberal institution. Or maybe some combination of the two.
