Sources: Osama bin Laden is Dead. President: Still Trying to Organize a Press Conference About It
At about 10 PM Eastern, I caught the breaking news on Twitter that the White House had called a 10:30 PM Press conference that would involve major national security news. Speculation (and more than a few jokes) ran rampant for a half hour. I caught tweets that intelligence personnel had been recalled and the military [...]
Saudi Arabia Goes Birdbrained over Israeli “Spy Vulture”
I’m honestly not sure whether this story is funny or depressing. A vulture tagged by scientists at Tel Aviv University has strayed into Saudi Arabian territory, where it was promptly arrested on suspicion of being a Mossad spy, Israeli and Saudi media reported Tuesday. The bird was found in a rural area of the country [...]

Wikileaks Leak Backfires, Reveals How Iran Killed Our Soldiers

The advice appears in “Inspire,” the latest issue of a slick propaganda [...]
The Religion of Peace Claims Another Life in America
See this? This comic caused a man to issue a death threat against the woman who drew it that was so dire that she had to abandon her identity and assume a brand new one. Her name used to be Molly Norris, but it’s not anymore. Molly Norris is dead and the “man” who killed [...]
It Helps To Read The Bible Before You Write About What’s In The Bible
I’d like to offer Robert Wright of the New York Times a little helpful advice. Robert, when you want to appear smart by offering one of those little quizzes wherein the deluded masses believe the answer is one thing but you, by dint of your superior intellect, know the real answer, you should make every [...]
I Remember September 11, 2001, but I’d Rather…
I don’t like writing about September 11, 2001. My experience that day is not all that important and, truth be told, I’d rather not remember what I was doing or what I felt as the war we’d been ignoring for years showed up in Manhattan, Northern Virginia, and a lone airplane that later ended up [...]
