    How do you prove a negative?

    Friday, August 22nd, 2008

    The short answer is you don’t. Why? Because you can’t.
    Cop: Did you kill Joe Blow?
    Suspect: No!
    Cop: Prove it.
    Suspect: I can’t. Besides, I shouldn’t have to prove anything! You prove that I did.
    That’s more or less the situation in which Erich Scherfen of Schuylkill Haven, Pennsylvania finds himself. Scherfen is a Gulf War veteran, having served [...]

    Screw you PETA

    Sunday, May 4th, 2008

    PETA, in its incessant stupidity, is trying to capitalize on the tragedy at yesterday’s Kentucky Derby in pursuit of an agenda that would have us all eating cereal and salad three times a day and wearing cotton belts. Not only that, but if they had their way we wouldn’t be able to test new medicines [...]

    JK Rowling Go Home!

    Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008

    From the Oh Puleeze department:
    JK Rowling is using the US court system to block a small time website owner from publishing a book of Harry Potter terminology. Rowling, who has become a billionaire from Harry Potter, says it’s not about the money. Cough, bs, cough. Warner Brothers is also party to the suit in US [...]

    Distinguishing Germans from Nazis in World War II

    Thursday, April 17th, 2008

    It’s not a secret that I run a World War II discussion forum called World War Two Zone. It’s also not a secret that I’m a Nazi hating Jew. The Nazis did many horrible things to many people in Europe, and they almost completely wiped out European Jewry. So why do I feel it’s necessary [...]

    The Saudis Can’t Make Bread from Oil…

    Wednesday, April 16th, 2008

    … and neither can Hugo Chavez. With the exception of Russia and Canada most large oil exporting nations are importers of grain. Where does that grain come from? A large percentage comes from the country that consumes the largest per capita amount of oil, the good old USA.
    Most of the agricultural data that I will [...]

    Concealed Handguns and the Second Amendment

    Saturday, April 12th, 2008

    OK, anyone who has actually read any of the few posts that I have made probably realizes that I have a bit of a left lean in my politics. If not, please read again or take my word for it. I oppose the war in Iraq. I don’t like or respect George W Bush (let [...]

    Dick Cheney - right then, right now?

    Thursday, April 10th, 2008

    You decide. Back at the time of the Gulf War, when the US had a clearly defined mission, that is to get Iraqi forces out of Kuwait, many people thought that Saddam should have been taken out. People were perhaps at the time justifiably upset that when there was a huge commitment of forces already [...]

    George

    Wednesday, April 9th, 2008

    George is my lovable little Pug. Have you ever seen anything cuter? I love him to death. After my family my dogs come next. Well…maybe a few friends in there too.
    OK so this isn’t really about how much I love my dogs (more on the others at a later date) but rather it’s about the [...]
