Comedian Rodney Dangerfield, who underwent brain surgery this week, was moved from the Intensive Care Unit yesterday because, according to the 81-year-old comic, "the staff just didn't care about me that much."

The sponsors of at least two different websites chronicling the anti-war statements and activities of Hollywood celebrities, say they're being inundated with death threats from "anti-war pacifist" supporters of the celebrities.

I envy the Left for the stranglehold that it has on America's education system.


UCLA faculty votes 180 to 7 to condemn the war in Iraq


A groundbreaking but controversial resolution condemning the war in Iraq was passed 180 to 7 by UCLA faculty Monday, but not before a fiery debate about whether they could even take a valid vote...


180 to 7. That's 96%, in case you were wondering. Contrast that with the 70% of America that approves of the war (last I checked), and you have an idea as to how much these loonies are out of touch with the world, and with the American mainstream. I wish that I could laugh, but I can't, because these are the people teaching Social Studies (amongst other subjects, of course) to the next generation. The power that Liberals have wielded by being in position to write History and Economics textbooks is simply frightening. For a demonstration, get your hands on a high school American History textbook. See if you can find any material about the horrors of Stalinism, or about the incredible suffering of the Cambodian people at the hands of the mass murdering Khmer Rouge. You won't. That's because a lot of loony American Leftists were Stalinists. What would you expect them to do, badmouth their favorite totalitarian hero? You have to read a book like Mona Charen's brilliant work "Useful Idiots" to get an accurate account of Communist attrocities, the Cold War, and Jimmy Carter's spectacular foreign policy failures. America's moral superiority in the Cold War has been erased from the textbooks, and that is why America's moral superiority in a fight against al Queda or Saddam Hussein is such a tough sell to the American public.


What will American History books say 25 years from now? That Ronald Reagan was just lucky to win the Cold War? Probably, since Liberals have already revised history in their distorted minds to believe it now. When you write history, you can say anything you want. In 20 years, you can lie and say that the Berlin Wall was built to keep people out, not in, and nobody under the age of 35 will know that it's a lie. What will the textbooks say about the two Persian Gulf Wars, and September 11 after Liberal revisionists have gotten their hands on them? I don't even want to think about it.


Michelle Malkin occasionally writes columns that touch on this unfortunate subject. She has a very good one today about the anti-war indoctrination of kindergarten students.


Then get out of the classroom, dear, and let the kids have a teacher (calling Jessica Lynch!) who can lead the ABCs without raising her fist and turning it into a brainwashing session on Anti-imperialism, Blood for oil, and Conflict resolution.
Charity begins at home and if we’re going to attend to our priorities we should take care of America first and American children first.”

What a knucklehead. Charity means GIVING Carol.

Economically speaking, France is decaying, full speed. Unemployment is officially around ten per cent. If you add the people who have never worked and so are not counted for the statistics, and also add the students who study nothing useful, the right number would be way above fifteen per cent. Growth rate is now officially around one per cent, and it includes government activities: if the government component was not included, it would be easy to see that France is in depression. Her population is growing old, and no money is available to take care of the large number of senior citizens in the years to come. The greater part of young people are Muslim, not integrated with French society, and almost illiterate.

More about Rachel Corrie:

Corrie did her part to incite anti-Americanism in the Gaza Strip, 70 percent of whose residents support suicide bombings according to a recent poll by the Gaza-based Palestinian Society for Culture, Science and Development. At a February 15 rally with schoolchildren, Rachel Corrie burned a paper version of the American flag.

Did you know?

The only North American politician with a personal stake in any of this is not Bush, Cheney or any of their Texan oilpatch pals, but the Prime Minister of Canada, whose daughter is married to TotalFinaElf's biggest shareholder.

Oh, ja. Monsieur Chretien has a personal stake in keeping Saddam's contracts with the crooked French Petroleum giant in place.

Errrr, had a personal stake.

"The Public Has a Right To Know" (sometimes)

In The New York Times today, Eason Jordan, chief news executive at CNN, reveals that CNN has known details of Saddam Hussein's brutal regime for over a decade, but didn't report it for fear of reprisals against its staff in Iraq.


Over the last dozen years I made 13 trips to Baghdad to lobby the government to keep CNN's Baghdad bureau open and to arrange interviews with Iraqi leaders. Each time I visited, I became more distressed by what I saw and heard — awful things that could not be reported because doing so would have jeopardized the lives of Iraqis, particularly those on our Baghdad staff.

The News We Kept to Ourselves



Intriguingly, Right Thinking has a story about Scott Ritter, who withheld information about a jail for children in Iraq because "what I saw was so horrible that it can be used by those who would want to promote war with Iraq, and right now I'm waging peace." Read what Lee at Right Thinking has to say on this: here.

Stupid bleeping unwashed American masses - we can't handle the truth.




Castro makes his American Liberal admirers proud by brutally cracking down on dissidents




"Nobody has impunity at the moment, nor at any moment," he said, banging his fist on the table during a marathon eight-hour meeting with reporters that ended early Thursday. "We cannot allow ourselves to be tolerant with them."




"The protesters had hoped to demonstrate for human rights, democracy and the release of political prisoners. "
"One of the biggest waves of political oppression in recent years is taking place," Elizardo Sanchez, head of the nongovernment Cuban Commission for Human Rights, said in a statement.





Apparently, some people aren't as delighted about Cuba's wonderful health care system as American Liberals. I wonder what Castro fans Jimmy Carter and Katie Couric have to say about that?




I get so confused sometimes. Harry Belafonte criticizes a black man because he is black, and well, that's okay.

A Republican does it, then oops!
