The Iranian government, which has been lovingly lambasted repeatedly by yours truly in the past, made news again the last few days.

In a world where Republicans constantly have to fight against the unfair stereotype that they are all bigoted, homophobic, fundamentalist Luddites, there always seems to be a few bigoted, homophobic fundamentalist Luddite Republicans that are more than happy to spew their rancid stupidity all over the airwaves at the drop of the hat. That’s why [...]

The six month civil war for control of Libya appears to be in its final stages. Tonight Libyan freedom fighters entered into the capital city of Tripoli and were greeted as saviors. The much-feared possibility that Gaddafi’s forces and the town’s citizens would fight to the death in order to protect their genocidal “Brother Leader [...]

It may not have been anticipated by Julian Assange, but the wikileaks release of U.S. diplomatic cables may have seriously affected Middle-Eastern politics. Several statements made to U.S. officials by various powerful Arab leaders have painted a picture of how extremely concerned they are about a nuclear Iran.

Start Hoarding Now!

Evidently capitalism is failing. Well, it was a good run while it lasted. I suppose I should go sell all those stocks and start hoarding gold bullion and Twinkies for the long, dark road ahead. I wonder which system will take good old capitalism’s place? Wait… Who said capitalism is failing? The (puppet) leader of [...]

September 11th this year marks the ninth anniversary of the attack on the World Trade Center towers. One would think the news would be more centered on a somber reflection on that fateful day that the United States finally recognized that our newest enemy did not wear a uniform or fly a single flag.

Posted on 18. Apr, 2009 by Theodore Roe in Politics
As if we needed another reminder that we’re trying to cut useless deals with the wrong sort of people, this headline came roaring off the front page today: Iran Sentences American Journalist to 8 Years in Prison.

Will Obama's Overture To Iran Cause Alienation Down The Road?

As Barack Obama extends an olive branch to Iran, I have a sinking feeling this might go all to hell. My concern does not stem from the potential for appeasement of the arch-conservative Shia regime of the Ayatollah.
