If you’re going to have a Christmas tree, then call it a Christmas tree. Don’t pussyfoot around it and call it a “Holiday Tree” or a “Yuletide Tree” or a “Pan-denominational, Inoffensive Special Day Symbol.” That’s silly. I’m Jewish. My wife Aggie isn’t. This year, she wants a Christmas tree, so I figured, why [...] From Jeff Goldstein, we are pointed to this exchange regarding the withdrawal of troops from Iraq: Ellen Ratner, the short, liberal side of The Long & the Short of It on Fox & Friends Weekend, just let the liberal cat out of the bag.

Three opposition parties – the Conservatives, the leftist [...] Minimal posting today on my part, and I’m going after the low-hanging fruit; the bastards that employ me actually expect me to do things at work.

What follows is a documentation of opening and consuming one of the “8 individually wrapped cakes” filled with “purplicious” cream. Special thanks to Aggie, who did [...] As if we didn’t have enough to worry about this holiday season, now we have to worry about intergalactic war: “On September 25, 2005, in a startling speech at the University of Toronto,” organized by the Canada-based Toronto Exopolitics Symposium, “that caught the attention of mainstream newspapers and magazines, Paul Hellyer, Canada?s Defence Minister from [...] Pat Morita, who played Mr. Miyagi in those great Karate Kid movies, died: LOS ANGELES, California (AP) — Actor Pat Morita, whose portrayal of the wise and dry-witted Mr. Miyagi in “The Karate Kid” earned him an Oscar nomination, has died.

To those of you who don’t know what OSM is, I’m not surprised, because I don’t really know either.

First, in a national referendum, Kenya rejected a constitutional proposal endorsed by their president that would have expanded executive powers. In this political fight, the pro-constitution was symbolized by a banana, and the anti-constitution was symbolized by an orange. Orange won: “Kenya’s President Mwai Kibaki [...] This cartoon sort of reminds me of a militant Islamist Davey and Goliath: Iranian state television has broadcast a cartoon that glorifies suicide bombings against Israelis, depicting a young boy blowing himself up after being told: “Go and show the Zionists how brave and heroic are the children of Palestine.” The cartoon, one of [...] Vice-President Dick Cheney continues to administer general spankings to Democrats who maintain that President Bush lied us into a war with Iraq: “It is a dangerous illusion to suppose that another retreat by the civilized world would satisfy the appetite of the terrorists and get them to leave us alone,” Mr. Cheney said in a [...] Donald Rumsfeld says that the political fight over Iraq may be harming troop morale: Commanders are telling Defense Secretary Donald H.
