All right...I don't even know where to begin on this one. First, a little background. There is a guy who goes by the name Rev. Aneb Jah Rasta Sensas-Utcha Nefer I, Ph.D. AKA Rev. Dr. Billy Jo Perry, Ph.D. His REAL name is William Perry (sans an actual, regionally accredited Ph.D., of course), and he first came to my attention about seven years ago when I read about a charter school that he

First of all, in principle, I support the idea of the death penalty for heinous crimes. Contrary to what many abolitionists say, it in no way violates the Commandment "Thou shalt not kill," as the Hebrew word used for "kill" here actually referred to murder and not legitimate killing (as in self-defense or in just capital punishment or in a just war). Also, the Law of Moses, which was incumbent

Like John Lennon's infamous remark that The Beatles' were more famous than Jesus Christ, it appears that Britney is more popular than Christmas, not one week before December 25th. Given the fact that the most common Internet searches seem to be about scantily-clad women of questionable character, I guess I shouldn't be surprised in the least.

The story lnked in the title makes my blood boil. Sensitivity training? These "imams" knew what they were doing. They did this on purpose, because those of us in the West do not have common sense anymore. How about some sensitivity training for this:If you are a Christian or a Jew and decide to use something visible to pray (that would show that you are not a Muslim, i.e., a yarmulke, Bible,

Mel Gibson's latest movie Apocalypto hit theatres all over the US this week, and it's sure to be a big hit. However Mel has not been able to shed the allegations of racism that first surfaced in the form of alleged anti-Semitism when he made The Passion of the Christ, then went on a drunken rampage several months ago. I am a Christian, a Catholic to be specific, and I saw The Passion. While it

With the recent death of a former KGB agent turned dissident from radiation poisoning (due to polonium-210 ingestion), I begin to wonder if President Putin is not more "Soviet" than "Russian". I certainly don't know if Putin is personally responsible for the death of this agent, but he has been blamed by the victim himself. Given that the cause of death was the ingestion of an element that is not

I just couldn't help it. I am so tired of hearing about Madonna and Kabbalah, Madonna and her mock crucifixions a la S&M fetishes, and now...Madonna, the Angelina-Jolie-wannabe. I guess I can't judge her intentions, but this whole "adopting a kid from a third-world hell-hole" thing smacks of a desire for media publicity. Especially given that no one but a die-hard Madonna fan would give a

See the linked story for background. Do you think the folks at The Daily Show will have this man on their show in the future? McGreevey had no problem getting on there last night depite his scandal. I guess having the "D" by his name gives him a pass...

In the interest of fairness, I shall present the opposing view. A good article explaining the position opposite the one reflected in my last post is excerpted below. The title of this post links to the full article."All mercury isn’t the same: methylmercury vs. ethylmercuryMercury is a naturally occurring element found in the earth’s crust, air, soil and water.

Once again, it would appear that profits trump morality in the Thimerosal debate. If I were a parent of a child with autism, I would certainly think about hiring a lawyer. There is certain to be a class-action lawsuit against the pharmaceutical companies regarding these vaccines if there is not one already. Since so many vaccines (and contact lens solutions) no longer contain Thimerosal, one

This Der Spiegel story seems to sum up well why I think that Israel is doing what they must to defend their country. I don't mean to suggest that no mistakes have been made since the counter-offensive began, but I don't know what they could have changed to make things any better.

Betty Williams is hopping mad. Apparently so mad that she would like to kill someone. Not just anyone, but the President of the United States. She was so mad, that she told this to hundreds of Australian schoolchildren. Were she a U.S. citizen, or on U.S. soil at the time of making such remarks, she could be arrested. However, fortunately for her, she is Irish. What makes this an ironic story is

For those who haven't heard, President Bush used the dreaded S-word while talking to PM Blair over lunch on the last day of the G8 summit in St. Petersburg. Neither Bush nor Blair knew that their microphones were on, so they were both in off-the-record mode. Nevertheless, the world press not only insisted on publishing not only the President's politically incorrect comment, but also other

This could be both the worst and best commercial I've ever seen. Worst due to its eerie repetitive mind control; best for its effectiveness, as per the fact that I can't forget about it. But what is "Head On" for?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2XAFCRT9L7A

While the title of this post could be seen as a double entendre, I'm not referring to the alleged preferences of our favorite couch-jumper and Hubbard devotee. No, I'm talking about the most recent person to quit that most-loathed of all American morning shows, The View. Star Jones, like all celebrities, enjoys being in the public eye. For years we have seen her on The View. Last year, she lost

People are loyal to name brands for many different reasons. Coke or Pepsi. GM or Ford. Miller or Bud. Calvin Klein or Ralph Lauren. You all have likely heard of the these brand names, and it's likely that you know which of these that you would pick. More often than not, the differences between the brands are purely subjective.A relative newcomer to the brand wars is the energy drink. Colas are
