Executive Privelege Invoked to Shield Cheney
Quite frankly, this is total crap. The president and his VP should not be immune to legal preceedings because they don’t want their dirty laundry aired out. I mean he already commuted the sentence of Scooter Libby regarding a scandal…
For anyone who doesn’t know, this is regarding who leaked the name of an FBI agent […]
Michael DeBakey Dead at 99
Who??? That’s exactly what I said! Michael DeBakey was a heart surgeon who pioneered techniques such as the now commonplace heart bypass. This got me to thinking… what will people remember about me when I am gone?
Terrorist Attack in Jerusalem?
It was bound to happen, given these circumstances…

Strange Happenings in Kuwait
I love the “Kuwait Crime” section of the Arab Times. Alot of the crimes make me laugh. Some of them are just sad, and others are fairly ridiculous. I wish I could find the link to the account of arresting someone for practicing black magic. Anyway, here are two incidents…
A democratic monarchy with no real […]
Marriage Annulled; Wife Lied About Virginity
Muslim couple in France. The wife lied about being a virgin. Is Islam spreading? Is religion taking more of a hold in a court of law? This is simple…
The lady LIED about being a virgin. Plain and simple. It is a case of “chastity fraud,” to borrow a term from the article. Religion and country […]
9/11 “Mastermind” Faces Death Penalty
I just finished reading up on an article about the trial of the surviving 9/11 terrorists. Some of the quotes that struck me.
Their war-crimes tribunal is the highest-profile test yet of the military’s tribunal system, which faces an uncertain future. It also threatens to expose harsh interrogation techniques used on the men, who were in […]
Clinton Set to Concede Democratic Nomination
Once Obama gets the last 34.5 delegates or so, Clinton will concede the nomination, but not officially end her campaign so she can continue to negotiate and push Obama on issues. It has been speculated she could be a possible vice-presidential running mate this fall. I didn’t really like Clinton, Obama, or McCain, and I […]
Plane Loses Wing… What Caused the Crash?
It’s a tragic story, but the wording is funny.
MADRID, Spain (AP) — Nine skydivers leapt from a plane in eastern Spain on Friday when the aircraft lost a wing and plunged to earth, killing the pilot and one passenger, according to the country’s Interior Ministry.
Well….
The plane took off from Lillo, in the province of Toledo. […]
Kuwait FastFax
I was browsing the Safat RSS feed that I have on my iGoogle main page, and came across a link from “Doesn’t play well with others.” It contains a link to the gomideast site, specially the FastFax page on Kuwait. It does seem fairly accurate. I have e-mailed the site to have them update the […]
Marine Discharged for Handing Out “Christian Coins”
The US military are NOT missionaries. This marine had the audacity to hand out Christian coins in an Islamic society. From a security point of view, this is a horrible idea and could provoke violence in the area. From a former Christian point of view, I do admire what he was trying to do. Ministering […]
