Read Mark Steyn on the real energy crisis. The other day I was reading an account of the latest genius idea from Britain. The carbon emission-trading system imposed by Kyoto is absurd and entirely ineffectual, but in London David Cameron now wants to apply it to hamburgers. Over there, a Big Mac costs three bucks […]

Aussie Sheik Feiz Mohamed Back in October of 2006, we noted this speech given by “the highest Australian Islamic leader, Sheikh Taj Din Al” in which he elaborates on a metaphor in which “uncovered women” are “uncovered meat” and are thus responsible for rape.

“Give it to me, buddy,” says Venezuelan strongman Hugo Chavez. Or he’ll seize it. As we’ve predicted, the demise of Venezuela into a socialist, Marxist hell-hole is accelerating as Chavez, not content nationalizing private corporations, is now seizing individual holdings in order to “give to the poor.” We’re just waiting for Hugo to announce that […]
Venezuelan thug Hugo Chavez sure is a thin-skinned, insecure little dictator considering the complete consolidation of power that he has managed. During his first appearance in five months on his weekly radio and television show, Chavez told American officials to “Go to hell, gringos!” President Hugo Chavez told U.S. officials to “Go to hell, gringos!” […]
