Wow. No American ‘Gulag’ Several days ago I received a telephone call from an old friend who is a longtime Amnesty International staffer. He asked me whether I, as a former Soviet “prisoner of conscience” adopted by Amnesty, would support the statement by Amnesty’s executive director, Irene Khan, that the Guantanamo Bay prison in Cuba [...]
So much for Doctors rights, WorldNetDaily: Christian doctors defend right to refuse abortions. The State of California is suing the Federal Government so that the State can force Pro-Life / Christian doctors to perform abortions. I would love to think there is such a shortage of butchers that the State is forced to do this [...]
Ion Mihai Pacepa has written a very interesting history lesson on John Bolton and the United Nations. It also adds to the tally of things Bolton has done to offend the Left. But on top of all that there is, at the very heart of the article something I did not know. The September 11 [...]

At some point during the rain this evening this guy decided the bugs drawn to the patio doors looked rather appetizing. That or he’s a Star Gate fan. When I made it outside to get some pics [...]
I mean Mandriva is at it again. What’s it next, Mandricoris? Still, I’m cautiously optimistic even though Lycoris’s contributions to the Linux world seem to be that of dumbing it down.
It looks like Turbin Dick Durbin is insulting pretty much everyone in the country. He’s insulting our soldiers, Jews, Cambodians, Russian dissidents, and even rappers just for a start.
