UK to UN: “Help us, Obi-Wan. You’re our only hope.”
Courtesy of MSNBC:
LONDON - Britain said Thursday it is seeking United Nations condemnation of Iran for its capture and detention of 15 sailors and marines in disputed waters in the northern Persian Gulf.
This is a smart move on the part of the Brits. Because we all know if there’s anything that Iran will cave to, […]

Pope Confirms: Hell is real!
Addressing a parish gathering in a northern suburb of Rome, the Pope said that in the modern world many people, including some believers, had forgotten that if they failed to “admit blame and promise to sin no more”, they risked “eternal damnation - the inferno”.
Hell “really exists and is eternal, even if nobody talks about […]

The best global warming debate of the week…
… wasn’t in the US Senate.
It was in a 6th grade classroom.
Take that, Al.

Wait just a second, now.
What do we have here!?
In a half-hour interview on Tuesday in her Senate office, Mrs. Clinton said the scaled-down American military force that she would maintain would stay off the streets in Baghdad and would no longer try to protect Iraqis from sectarian violence — even if it descended into ethnic cleansing.
Juxtaposed:
Adopted by Resolution 260 […]

More “300″ controversy!
Now the Iranians are jumping on the bandwagon:
An Iranian official on Sunday lashed out at the Hollywood movie “300″ for insulting the Persian civilization, local Fars News Agency reported.
Javad Shamqadri, an art advisor to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, accused the new movie of being “part of a comprehensive U.S. psychological war aimed at Iranian culture”, said the […]

“300″
In the annals of Western warfare, many names play on the tip of the tongue: Alexander. Hannibal. Napoleon. Wellington. Lee. Patton.
One that certainly deserves to be among them is that of Leonidas, one-time king of ancient Sparta. His is a tale that needs little romanticizing; under invasion by the mighty Persian empire, Leonidas and a […]

More global warming scepticism
Like most “traditionalists” or “conservatives”, I spend a lot of time bashing the “MSM”, or mainstream media, for their institutionalized bias in favor of demonstrably “progressive” or “leftist” causes. One of these is, of course, the pet issue to many socialists and anticapitalists - Global Warming.
What I’d come to expect in the last few years […]

Oh, you silly Communist, you!
From the BBC today:
The President of Venezuela, Hugo Chavez, on a tour of Latin America, has launched a stinging attack on the US.
Visiting Bolivia, the firebrand leftist leader said that capitalism was “the road to hell”.
Well, I hate to quibble with as highly esteemed a statesman as Hugo Chavez, but I suspect many tens of […]

Checking in on Global Warming.
It interests me that most of the real hue and cry over “the global warming scam” is coming from countries we see as very socialist / liberal, such as England and France. Observe, from the UK Daily Mail:
The UN report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change was published in February. At the time it […]

Checking in on Socialized Healthcare.
Ain’t socialism grand?
We’ve just learnt that some hospitals are removing every third light bulb to save money, and that nurses are being paid half the minimum wage — or being asked to work for nothing — at others.
That’s how bad the financial crisis has become. Meanwhile, the National Health Service is employing shaman fairy enthusiasts […]
