President Bush is set to announce his new plan for Iraq. Nearly four years after the American invasion of Iraq and we still don’t not have a plan on how to win there. We sent American troops to a foreign land to die with no clear plan for victory, or even a clear vision of […]

Saddam Hussein has been executed. Hanged by the neck for his crimes against humanity. Our nation celebrates, the media outlets triumph the news, we dance around the irony. It’s strange to think of, marching a man to his death. Can we even imagine it? What if he was us? Oh, but he isn’t us. We […]

Recently, some dude who wasn’t even elected president died. CNN devotes the whole front page for this story calling it a “historic tribute”. Give me a fucking break. The BBC has spent the holidays running down illegal rendition sites within NATO while we’ve been running ‘historic tributes’. Don’t worry about us over here. That rabbit […]

Fox News has a lot of critics. Their slogan “fair and balanced” is laughable floating over a waving American flag. Sometimes these critics of Fox News get on the channel, but when pressed for specific examples of right wing bias, they can’t come up with any. Maybe it’s subtle. I don’t think so. The mid-term […]

A professor offered an ethical dilemma to his class. Imagine that he comes into class, pulls out a pistol and shoots a student. Another student in the class has her own pistol packed away in her purse. The professor is getting ready to kill another student, is it ethical for this woman with the gun […]
