Blaming Movies and Video Games for Gun Violence

Society

Bob Cesca points to this interview Chris Christie gave about gun control. Christie was asked about specific gun control measures, and instead talked about violent video games. “We don’t allow those games into our house…we think it desensitizes children to all the effects of violence,” and added that all of the issues related to gun […]

Welcome to today’s outrage: The U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s command center routinely monitors dozens of popular websites, including Facebook, Twitter, Hulu, WikiLeaks and news and gossip sites including the Huffington Post and Drudge Report, according to a government document.

An End to the War on Terror?

Misc

It sure looks that way and the number 2 at the Department of Defense has penciled in the date – October, 2008 (gee – 1 month before the Presidential elections).

Another Reason Why Boehner Must Go

Misc

This shows how bad the Majority Leader is: Rumsfeld’s leadership of the bloody mission in Iraq has become a divisive issue in the Nov. 7 elections. Many Democrats and a few Republicans are calling for his resignation, but President Bush repeatedly has defended him. So did House Majority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, during an appearance […]
