‘Two more Palestinians have been gunned down by Israeli soldiers in the West Bank as the Palestinian death toll rises amid violence in the occupied territories. According to media reports, the two were shot on allegations of attacking an Israeli trooper near the Gush Etzion illegal settlement on Tuesday. Earlier in the day, Israeli forces […]

Here’s a chart that shows how the Status Quo “fixes” every problem: it transfers more debt and more losses to the taxpayers. Many hold a touchingly naive faith that the Status Quo will save them even as the current system unravels. Why is this faith naive? Let’s start with this key question: does the Status Quo strike you as being even remotely competent? If you answer “yes,” we have to ask: what planet are you on? Mars? Here on Earth, no one that isn’t a bought-and-paid for-shill of the Status Quo would even make the risible claim of Status Quo … Continue reading →

Back in 1999, a quarter of all 25-year-olds lived with their parents. By 2013 this number has doubled, and currently half of young adults live in their parents home. While the troubling implications for the economy from this startling increase are self-evident, and have been extensively discussed both here and elsewhere (and are among the key factors pushing both the US and global economy into secular stagnation), a just as important question is why are increasingly more young adults still living at home. While we admit there is something morbidly grotesque in none other than the Fed taking an active … Continue reading →

Dogs of war and men of hate With no cause, we don’t discriminate Discovery is to be disowned Our currency is flesh and bone Hell opened up and put on sale Gather ’round and haggle For hard cash, we will lie and deceive Even our masters don’t know the web we weave . -Pink Floyd .. One dog has stuck his nose out from behind the curtain…barely. Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair says he’s sorry for “mistakes” made in the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in 2003, but he doesn’t regret bringing down dictator Saddam Hussein. What blabbering is this?  … Continue reading →

Sir Roger Moore was my favourite James Bond. A suave, smart, sophisticated, eloquent, absurdly charming, utterly ruthless assassin who oozed testosterone-fuelled heterosexual pheromones from every pore. He was the perfect embodiment of author Ian Fleming’s original 007 template: white, straight, male, impervious to long-term relationships and very happy killing bad guys. Now, Sir Roger has come under fire for saying that Bond should never be gay, female or black. His reason? ‘That wasn’t what Ian Fleming wrote. It’s not about being homophobic, or racist, it’s about being true to the character.’ Daniel Craig, the current Bond, disagreed. ‘Anything’s possible, so … Continue reading →

The Roman poet Virgil opens his national epic, The Aeneid, with the statement, arma virumque cano—I sing of arms and the man.  Aeneas, a warrior of Troy, obeys the command of his mother, Venus, and escapes the fall of his city to journey westward to become the progenitor of Rome. The association of arms with men has been with us for millennia.  Here in America, the image of a man for much of the twentieth century was John Wayne, Winchester rifle in hand, Colt revolver on his hip, and a steely gaze that promised to tolerate no foolishness. But the radical … Continue reading →

It is a familiar social dilemma. You meet a stranger for the first time and in a split second must decide whether to offer a chilly handshake or risk offence with a kiss on the cheek. But new research from Oxford University has found that erring on the side of caution could be the best way to put people at their ease. The biggest study ever conducted into physical contact suggests that most people harbour an underlying reticence at being touched by a stranger anywhere but on their hands. In recent years, it has become fashionable to greet new acquaintances … Continue reading →

The question of whether man is wolf or sheep has been around for a long time and, not surprisingly, there are strong opinions on both sides. It’s certainly not hard to understand the sheep side of the argument. The majority of people are easily influenced by institutional leaders, whether they represent the state, the church, corporate America, or other. They’re like gullible, half-asleep children, willing to submit to anyone who speaks with a tone threatening enough to scare them or pleasant enough to persuade them of the moral necessity of a cause. Thus, they follow the directions of their leaders … Continue reading →

By Dr. Mercola The common cold is the most common infectious disease in the US and many other areas of the world. Cold symptoms are triggered by hundreds of different viruses — not bacteria — and infection is typically spread by hand-to-hand contact between people, or by touching objects that harbor the pathogens. Since colds are viral in nature, antibiotics are completely useless and should be avoided, unless your physician diagnoses a serious secondary bacterialinfection. Using antibiotics when no bacterial pathogen is present simply contributes to the problem of antibiotic-resistant disease. The key to preventing colds and recovering from them … Continue reading →

Having noticed that Bill Kristol has agreed with Billy Graham that Seventh Day Adventists are “great on New Testament doctrine,” I have to wonder how much canonical weight Bill’s judgment here would carry among Murdochites. (My friend Boyd Cathy has created this term for those whose minds are totally imprisoned in the synthetic world of the Murdoch media.) Now I can figure out why Kristol the Lesser has conferred his seal of approval on the Seventh Day Adventists. His least favorite Republican presidential contender, the Donald, has been lording it over Dr. Ben, a political competitor who, unlike the Presbyterian … Continue reading →
