  Actress Sarandon tired of being called anti-American for political views …  If the shoe fits …  
  EDITOR IN CHIEF BART CITED IN 'VARIETY' GAY DISCRIMINATION SUIT … “Former editor sues Variety for alleged gay discrimination.” (AP). The Sacramento Bee. January 29, 2003.  
  Japan ‘loses’ 206kg of plutonium … Rahman, Bayan. “Japan 'loses' 206kg of plutonium.” Financial Times (UK).  January 28, 2003.

“Japan on Tuesday admitted that 206kg of its plutonium - enough to make about 25 nuclear bombs - is unaccounted for.”

Since we know from the abductions of Japanese citizens that North Korea has agents in Japan this could be the source of the fissionable material for North Korea’s nuclear weapons.

 
  ABC puts end to serving alcohol at Jimmy Kimmel's new ABC talk show … “Last call at Jimmy Kimmel's new ABC talk show.” (AP). Netscape News. January 29, 2003.

“After a boisterous premiere during which actor George Clooney passed around a bottle of vodka and an audience member vomited, the bar that serves drinks to audience members has been shut down.”

So much for the Man Show atmosphere.

 
  Woman is made to walk naked before co-workers … Farkas, Karen. “Woman is made to walk naked before co-workers.” Cleveland Plain Dealer. January 28, 2003.  
  ‘THE COURSE OF THIS NATION DOES NOT DEPEND ON THE DECISIONS OF OTHERS’ “Text: Bush's 2003 State of the Union Address.” The Washington Post. January 28, 2003.  
  Women Arrested For Sex Acts In Downtown MADISON, Wis. Window; Crowd Yelled 'Boo!' When Officers Stopped Show... “Women Arrested For Sex Acts In Downtown Window.” Channel 3000 News. (Milwaukee). January 27, 2003.

“Officers were on foot patrol in the 500 block of State Street around 2:40 a.m. when they saw a large crowd in front of a storefront window, watching two females who were directly in front of the window, with the lights on, engaging in sexual acts for display, police said.

“Williams was not wearing any clothing, except for her pants, which were around her ankles, police said.

“When the officers tried to stop the show, the crowd booed and the women told police they didn't do anything wrong, according to police.”

 
  ‘Bug chaser’ story incenses gays... Sorokin, Ellen. “‘Bug chaser’ AIDS story disputed.” The Washington Times

“A magazine's claim that 25 percent of newly HIV-positive homosexual men sought infection with the virus for erotic reasons has set off a dispute with homosexual advocates and public-health officials.

Rolling Stone asserts that about 10,000, or 25 percent, of the 40,000 new infections recorded each year in the United States are homosexual men who deliberately seek out infected partners so they can contract AIDS.

“Health officials and homosexual groups acknowledge that the phenomenon known as “bug chasing“ is real, but insist that the assertions in Rolling Stone exaggerate the number of men who have become infected this way.”

“For others, infecting themselves is the most extreme sex act left — a notion that has strong erotic appeal for some men who have tried everything else.”

You’ve got to be way out there to consider catching a fatal STD to be erotic.

“Also, there are a number of Web sites that encourage this kind of behavior and ridicule the use of condoms or safe sex, advocates say.”

  Ngowi, Rodrique. “Cannibalism reported in Congo.” (AP). The Washington Times. January 27, 2003 “Human-rights activists and investigators from the United Nations say rebels cooked and ate at least a dozen Pygmies and an undetermined number of people from other tribes during recent fighting with rival insurgents.”

Still The Heart of Darkness.

 
  “‘Mammy Condoleezza’ Parody Prompts Apology; NAACP Mum.” NewsMax.com. January 27, 2003. “A Florida radio station has apologized for letting one of its hosts air a racist song parody about National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice. But the apology comes no thanks to the local chapter of NAACP, which was contacted about the racial outrage but decided not to complain on behalf of the top black Bush official.

“The song ‘Condoleezza,’ aired repeatedly by WQAM-AM Miami radio host Neil Rogers, a harsh critic of President Bush, was a vicious racial assault on Rice that described her as a ‘black-haired answer-mammy’ who ‘cleans all the White House bathrooms.’”

Apparently the NAACP only wants to protect politically correct blacks. This article has the lyrics to the racist song.

 
  Trevelyan, Mark. “Clinton Urges Pact Before N.Korea Sells Nukes.” Reuters. January 27, 2003. Faulty logic here. North Korea has a proven track record of breaking agreements, including the one Slick made. Why make another agreement with a regime which doesn’t keep its end of a bargain.  
  Alternative Weeklies Settle With U.S.: Companies That Sold Alternative Papers to Each Other Settle With U.S. to End Antitrust Probe.” (AP). ABCNews.com. January 27, 2003. “Approval of the settlement by the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio would end a government antitrust investigation into the two companies, New Times Media and Village Voice Media, and resolve charges against the two.”

It’s ironic to see socialistic media get tagged for anti-trust violations.

 
  Bruce, Tammy. “Bug Chasers and the Thought Police.” FrontpageMagazine.com. January 27, 2003. “When I wrote ‘The New Thought Police’ I knew it would stand the test of time. It’s about the rise of Leftwing McCarthyism. You know it well—for anyone who has ever challenged the Leftist status quo about culture or society or politics, you get slapped with a derogatory name meant to silence you. This week, the paperback edition of my book was released, and not surprisingly, there is a prime example of the Thought Police at work. An example which, unfortunately, is a matter of life and death.

“When I first heard that Rolling Stone magazine had published an exposé about the problem of “bug chasers“ in the gay community, I was thrilled that someone finally had the guts to say publicly what the gay community and public health field have known for years. For those of you who blissfully don’t know, ‘bug chasers’ are gay men who deliberately seek to become infected with the AIDS virus.”

I like the term “Left-wing McCarthyism;” one example is calling someone who disagrees with you on race relations a “racist.”

 
  How the Other Side Thinks.” MEMRI.org. January 29, 2003.

A Saudi columnist welcomes Joseph Lieberman's candidacy - with maliciousness in his heart.

The Saudi columnist gives four reasons why a Lieberman presidency will be good for anti-American Middle Easterners:

  • The Jews Will be Blamed for Everything

  • He Must Prove His Americanism over His Jewishness

  • Good for Ambitions of Non-Christian Minorities in the U.S.

  • Could Ignite Antisemitic Trends in the U.S.

 
  Darwish, Nonie. “Impossible Family Dynamics of Islam.” FrontpageMagazine.com. January 27, 2003. “… I personally lived in and witnessed many Moslem families and saw the impossible family dynamics resulting from these laws. I realized that a woman finding herself happy and secure in a Moslem marriage happens rarely and only through extraordinary good luck. …”

“Islam on the other hand allows women only one husband but men up to four wives, and that changes the dynamics of everything. That right of the man, even though many Moslem men choose not to exercise it for many reasons, has a devastating impact on the healthy function and the structure of loyalties of the Moslem family. There are chronic social ills and tragedies stemming from this single right, accorded to men by Allah, and demonstrated in practice by the prophet Mohamed.”

 
  Locke,Robert. “Anti-Semitism, the Conservatism of Fools.” FrontpageMagazine.com. January 29, 2003. “They used to say that anti-Semitism was the socialism of fools. For some people, it probably was. …”

“Anti-Semitism on the Right, insofar as it has anything to do with conservative politics and is not just an ethnic or religious tic, is caused by the desire for an emotionally satisfying pseudo-solution to our nation’s problems. …”

“Some anti-Semites attack Jews to avoid admitting the corruption of their own ethnic or religious group. For example, they insinuate that Jews are the cause of the decay of the traditionally Christian character of American society after about 1960. But the Christian churches themselves played the principal role in this process. The Episcopal Church, for example, began to be corrupted by the invasion of its seminaries by modernists in the 1930's, resulting, a generation or two later, in near-atheist bishops like terror apologist John Spong. And despite the fact that Vatican II was never intended to have the consequences it did, the Catholic Church during this conference and since has surrendered to liberalism on all matters save sexual morality and a few others, and even there the church has defaulted the authority needed to keep its flock in line. It is hard on the ego for Christians to admit that they cooked their own goose, so it is attractive to blame these problems on someone else.”

 
  Brown,Stephen. “The Left's Silence on Islamic Fundamentalism.” FrontpageMagazine.com. January 29, 2003. “There was no reaction from the Canadian Left, for example, to recent revelations that Canadian citizen Mohammed Mansour Jabarah confessed to being an al-Qaeda terrorist. Jabarah is being held in a detention center in Brooklyn since he voluntarily walked across the Canada-US border into American custody last year at Niagara Falls. He was an important al-Qaeda operative in a plot to blow up Western targets in Singapore in 2001 with as many as seven suicide truck bombs.”

  Levey,Collin. “Bang Bang, Your Suit's Dead: Two courtrooms wins for the Second Amendment.” OpinionJournal.com. January 29, 2003.

“In Florida, Judge Jorge Labarga, of butterfly ballot fame, threw out a $1.2 million award against the distributor of a handgun used by a kid to shoot his teacher. In the Ninth Circuit, Carter appointee Stephen Reinhardt returned to an earlier antigun opinion and deleted references to the work of Michael Bellesiles, the historian whose Bancroft Prize was revoked because of serious questions about the honesty of his scholarship.

“Why are these judicial straws in the wind significant? They mark a trend that began to emerge last year. As Americans have begun to think differently about their personal safety, courts have begun looking at the gun question in a more sober light.”

 
  Kaplan, Lawrence F. and Kristol, William. “Neither a Realist Nor a Liberal, W. Is a Liberator: Saddam finally hit upon a president who knows how to beat him.” OpinionJournal.com. January 29, 2003.

“… The men who decided on the aims of the Gulf War were self-declared ‘realists,’ who believed that foreign policy should be grounded in vital interests--oil wells, strategic chokepoints, and, most of all, regional stability. Their preference for order over liberty extended even to the Soviet Union, where national security advisor Brent Scowcroft found it ‘painful to watch Yeltsin rip the Soviet Union brick by brick away from Gorbachev.’ In China, the Bush team reacted to the massacre in Tiananmen Square by excusing the communist regime in Beijing. And in the former Yugoslavia, the president justified American inaction by likening the bloodshed to a ‘hiccup.’”

Tends to verify my belief that the elder Bush’s administration put “stability” ahead of freedom and self-determination.

“… According to the [Clinton] administration's scorecard, it was not the integrity of containment or even the value of keeping Saddam disarmed that mattered. Far more important was the imperative of avoiding war. …”

If you’re not willing to go to war your enemies can do what they want. Appeasement doesn’t work with intransigent opponents; it only makes them bolder.
