The unabashed liberal bias of the mainstream media is on full display in their reporting of the recent Texas Board of Education curriculum-change vote.
This Associated Press article (h/t Lucianne) practically hyperventilates before it even gets to the byline, with the following headline:
Texas ed board vote reflects far-right influences
One immediately wonders what sort of radical beliefs [...]

A recent RedState post detailed the valiant efforts of conservative students at Goshen College (Goshen, IN) to reverse the school’s decision to ban the National Anthem. Apparently, the President’s Council at the school deemed the lyrics of the song (“the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in air“) to be incompatible with the school’s pacifist [...]

Often, proponents of nationalized health care will cite statistics indicating that the US lags with respect to life expectancy as compared with other industrialized nations that have some form of nationalized health care. Such comparisons are largely meaningless; life expectancy is not a meaningful metric of the quality of health care in a given country. As [...]

Recently, an 18-year-old Canadian girl died in an ambulance en-route to the hospital, due to injuries suffered in a car accident.
The ambulance ride apparently took approximately 30 minutes to reach the Welland hospital, during which time the ambulance was rumored to have run out of oxygen. Ms. Anzovino, desparately in need of a blood transfusion, died [...]

Quietly, Adult Stem Cells (ASCs) continue to make more advances in therapeutic treatments, thanks to the recent breakthrough with induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), in which differentiated human skin, adipose (fat), or other cells are induced into reverting into a pluripotent state that essentially mimics embryonic pluripotent stem cells. These iPSCs have recently been induced [...]

It would appear that Heather Ellis wasn’t so confident of her innocence after all, after seeing the evidence presented at trial. While the jury was deliberating, Heather Ellis took a plea deal:

The prosecution agreed to drop two felony counts of assault on a law enforcement officer through the plea deal, while Ellis agreed to a [...]

The Tennessean profiles the Conservative Bible Project (CBP), founded by Andy Schafly (H/T: Lucianne). The self-described purpose of the CBP is to rectify three sources of Biblical translation errors. To wit:

lack of precision in the original language, such as terms underdeveloped to convey new concepts introduced by Christ
lack of precision in modern language
translation bias in [...]

HR3200 – Reading The Bill: Tax On Individuals Without Acceptable Coverage
I’m really getting sick of supporters of ObamaCare admonishing those who oppose it to read the bill. So, I’m working on a series in which I do just that, framing my opposition to the bill by referencing the actual wording of the proposed legislation.
Up next: [...]

HR3200 – Reading The Bill: You Will Lose Your Current Insurance
I’m really getting sick of supporters of ObamaCare admonishing those who oppose it to read the bill. So, I’m starting a series in which I do just that, framing my opposition to the bill by referencing the actual wording of the proposed legislation.
Up first: Obama’s [...]

Previously, I wrote about the arrest of Henry Louis Gates, Jr. At the time that I wrote that post, I was unaware of the absolute fabrications of and lies about the events surrounding his arrest, first by Gates’ lawyer, and later by Gates himself.
This American Spectator article (h/t Lucianne) thoroughly discusses Gates’ two most [...]

I’ve not commented yet on the Gates race-baiting story, and I’ve also not done a good fisking in a long time, so I thought I’d kill two birds with one stone by taking on Andrew Sullivan’s alleged attempt at impartiality regarding the story.

What do you call a black man with a PhD? The answer begins [...]

I know I’m a few days late in responding to this story, but it has taken me a while to put my response together.
Mere weeks after the MIAC terrorism report came to light (and was subsequently rescinded due to public outrage), The Liberty Papers and Roger Hedgecock broke the story about an eerily similar report [...]

Under intense pressure of citizen outrage, the Missouri State Highway Patrol has rescinded the MIAC report that linked the threat of domestic terrorism to the modern militia movement, conservative political beliefs, and (right-wing) third-party political candidates.

From the KC Star report:

The Missouri Highway Patrol this week retracted a controversial report on militia activity and will change [...]

Scary; truly scary.
Via Gateway Pundit (with h/t to American Thinker), the Missouri Information Analysis Center – part of the Missouri State Police – has compiled a report ostensibly intended “to help Missouri law enforcement agencies identify militia members or domestic terrorists”. According to this report, yours truly now fits the profile of a potential extremist.
Here [...]

These statements should be an impeachable offense – or at the very least, subject to Congressional censure:
Via Lucianne and Michelle Malkin, Nancy Pelosi tells a partially illegal-immigrant comprised crowd that enforcement of US immigration laws is “un-American”:

“Who in this country would not want to change a policy of kicking in doors in the middle of [...]

The Vatican recently issued a statement on bioethical issues, entitled Dignitas Personae (The Dignity of the Person), which serves as the authoritative ruling for the Catholic Church in condemning, among other things, embryo-destructive stem-cell research and human cloning.
The foundational tenet for the ruling is, as astute readers may surmise, the inherent dignity of the human [...]

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals yesterday reversed a lower court’s decision that laptop searches by border agents are a violation of the Fourth Amendment. From the WSJ law blog:
The backstory: In July of 2005, Michael Arnold, who was 43 at the time, was pulled aside for secondary questioning upon arriving at LAX from the [...]

The Supreme Court, in a 7-2 decision in Baze v. Rees, confirmed that lethal injection does not violate the 8th Amendment as cruel and unusual punishment.
As relieved as I am to note that SCOTUS has not lost all common sense (it does not take a Constitutional Law degree to come to the conclusion that a) [...]

The bone-headed lawyers for Universal Music Group (UMG) are now claiming that throwing away a promotional CD is a form of unauthorized distribution, and is therefore a copyright violation, and thus illegal. UMG makes this ridiculous claim in a lawsuit filed against an eBay seller for selling promotional CDs [links in original]:
In a brief filed [...]

On the campaign trail over the weekend, Barack Obama tried to assuage the socially conservative democrats of Western Pennsylvania regarding his pro-abortion stance. He starts with the typical, liberal, stance when confronted by an admonition to stop abortions:
“This is a very difficult issue, and I understand sort of the passions on both sides of the [...]

Are you in need of web hosting services, but your web site may in some way violate the ever-so-fragile sensibilities of Muslims? If so, don’t even think about using Network Solutions.
Dutch lawmaker and filmmaker Geert Wilders made this mistake when developing a website for his forthcoming Fitna movie, which he describes as a “last warning [...]

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) enters the blogosphere, with their Evolution of Security blog.
From the tagline (“Terrorists Evolve. Threats Evolve. Security Must Stay Ahead. You Play A Part.”) it would appear that the TSA intends to have significant commenter interaction on the blog. From the response to the welcome post (some 700 comments), it would [...]

Slashdot posts about Sears installing spyware under the guise of the “My SHC Community” service. Instead of an innocuous service, users who agree to install the software get ComScore spyware, including a software proxy capable of tracking every transaction performed on the internet – from web sites visited, to login credentials, to emails.
More information from [...]

Yesterday I wrote about an RIAA lawsuit against someone solely for ripping legally purchased music CDs. Engadget posted an update that the lawsuit is not for ripping CDs, but rather is one of RIAA’s garden-variety MP3 distribution lawsuits. A commenter on their previous post linked to the summary judgement that states as much.
While I pointed [...]
