The One With Aldacron

The Iraqi woman who left her husband after he murdered their daughter in front of her, one of those brutal Muslim ‘honor’ killings, has now been murdered herself. It’s unclear if she was targeted or if she was caught in an attack against the women’s group helping her leave Iraq. Now, members of the group [...]

A US Army staff sergeant serving in Iraq used a Quran for target practice. My first reaction is, “So what? It’s a friggin’ book.” But, of course, because of the stupidity and senselessness of religion, this harmless little act has huge consequences. Perhaps the biggest, from the government’s point of view, is that it jeopardizes [...]

It’s amazing what Americans will get riled up over and what they won’t. It took four years before a massive demonstration could be organized in the capitol to protest the Iraq war, but it didn’t take much at all to get 10,000 people together to protest the Jena 6 situation. The teenagers, who have come [...]

When the Decider does something stupid, it’s hard not to cringe. People are dying for his stupidity, after all. Last night’s speech to the VFW, in which he invoked America’s past wars to build his case for staying the course in Iraq, definitively proves that the man isn’t just an idiot but also lacks the [...]

The next time you hear one of the brainless, conservative zombies who live off of Fox News accuse someone opposed to the war of not supporting the troops, do us all a favor and give the idiot a good crack across the jaw. No matter how many times the Decider puts on a chipper show [...]

Having given up on the fight to end the Iraq War, Congress is now making a move to restore the Constitutional right of habeas corpus, which was essentially revoked by Bush in the Military Commissions Act last year. Hopefully, this will lead to the restoration of more of the rights that the Bush administration trampled [...]

When discussing wars of bygone eras, we often hear that members of the United States military ‘died for our freedom’, or that ‘freedom isn’t free.’ On more than one occasion, members of the Bush administration defended the criminal invasion of Iraq on the grounds that they want to provide freedom to the Iraqi people. When [...]

Salt Lake City Mayor Rocky Anderson was recently a guest on right wing windbag Bill O’Reilly’s program. Someone posted the appearance on YouTube. While the clip is demonstrative of O’Reilly’s typical stupidity, some of the comments demonstrate something even more telling. This comment, for example, is similar to comments I have seen from Bush supporters [...]

In a recent press conference, the Decider made several bull-headed statements that show us he, once again, is dead set on a war no matter how often he denies it. First, is his “certainty” that the Iranian government is complicit in sending bombs to Iraq: President Bush said today he is certain that elements of [...]

The United States of America was founded upon the premise than human beings have certain inalienable rights that cannot be denied. Throughout history, individuals and collaborative groups in positions of power have asserted their authority over their fellow man. While some were noble and good, too many were tyrannical and dictatorial. In the past, perhaps [...]
