You still believe…? I understand why some of you feel differently about the current bill, and I’m happy to take my lumps on this site and elsewhere. I do promise to listen to your concerns, take them seriously, and seek to earn your ongoing support to change the country. — Barack Obama, in response to [...]

This appears to be legit. You should be alert during the next few days. Do not open any message with an attachment entitled ‘POSTCARD FROM HALLMARK,’ regardless of who sent it to you. It is a virus which opens A POSTCARD IMAGE, which ‘burns’ the whole hard disc C of your computer. This virus will [...]

With all the controversies about FISA, many believe the US Government is our greatest threat to privacy. Maybe we should look a little closer to home… YouTube users are clearly upset, as many appear ready to drop the gloves and go toe to toe with Viacom, following a ruling which puts their privacy in doubt.

In 2004, Congresswoman Louise Slaughter (D-NY) introduced H.R. 4710, the Meaningful Expression of Democracy in America Act, or The Fairness Doctrine. In an interview with PBS’ Bill Moyers, she made her true intentions known. The bill went nowhere, but Congresswoman Slaughter (with a President Obama) will try again… BILL MOYERS: What does your bill before [...]

While this is not news to most of us, media bias achieves greater importance when check-listed… * One is the bias of the mainstream media, which floods us with dishonest and fraudulent journalism that gives us a false picture of the world.

Yes, there are some very stupid people in the world. Police in Wales were called to investigate a mysterious flying saucer, only to discover it was the moon. The confused caller asked: ‘If you’ve got a couple of minutes perhaps you could find out what it is?’ The mothership? The moon was mistaken for a [...]

As some of you whom read this site know, there have been trolls who frequent here and routinely accuse myself (and those who post comments) of smearing Barack Obama; a “decent man”.

After dodging a squelched and sanitized library card plagiarism scandal, Katie Couric proves you can win even when coming in dead last. It might run third in the ratings, but the “CBS Evening News With Katie Couric” has won an Edward R. Murrow Award for best newscast. I hope CBS starts playing up the deserved [...]
