Prosecutors Drop Charges in Duke Case And I don’t even like Lacrosse. RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) – Prosecutors dropped all charges Wednesday against the three Duke lacrosse players accused of sexually assaulting a stripper at a party, saying the athletes were innocent victims of a “tragic rush to accuse” by an overreaching district attorney. Now let’s …
I got this crap in the mail today from a bloodsucking bank to which I owe money. Like most people, I don’t generally read these things thoroughly, although every time I do, I realize I really should. This one announced a fairly insignificant “minimum finance charge”, but it’s not the charge that has me curious, …

Score one for the “no-borders” gang. BofA aims new credit card at illegal immigrants NEW YORK (Reuters) – Bank of America Corp. has begun offering credit cards to customers without Social Security numbers, typically illegal immigrants, the Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday.

This is the tale of a gruesome murder committed by an illegal immigrant. The Rocky Mountain News gives a long, redundant description of the event, but only mentions his residency status as an afterthought, in the last line of the article. I think it belongs right here, at the top: Rubi-Nava, who prosecutors said was …

The 2006 True Stella Awards Issued 31 January 2007 (Click here to confirm these are legitimate.) #5: Marcy Meckler. While shopping at a mall, Meckler stepped outside and was “attacked” by a squirrel that lived among the trees and bushes.

I’m all for winning any war we get involved in – if it’s worth fighting, it’s damned sure worth winning. But why are we allowing Mexico to wage a border war against this country without acknowledging it? The Mexican government provides assistance to anyone who wants to invade the United States. They publish comic books …

According to the major news outlets, Saddam Hussein is now dead; executed for the first of a stream of crimes against humanity, namely his own people. Good riddance. By all accounts, the initial response from the Iraqi people are celebratory. Perhaps this will reawaken the “common Iraqi” to the fight that needs to be taken …
The plot thickens… not only did the Durham DA know there was no evidence to indict the Duke lacrosse players, he actively sought to conceal that information. Too late for the citizens of Durham, they were already suckered into re-electing this moron. We can only hope it’s not too late to dump his dumb ass, …

At long last, someone is taking the walking joke that is Mike Nifong to task for his blatant abuse of his community’s guilt and fear to further his political career. In case you don’t follow NC news (and one could hardly blame you for that little oversight), the case was entirely based on the incoherent …
A 34-year old former Deputy Sheriff has been indicted for murder in the death of Peyton Strickland, whom I have written about previously. While this might seem like a wonderful opportunity for me to “apologize” for my stated opinion of the deceased, I’m afraid that won’t be forthcoming. As I said before, the kid didn’t …
This post was a rough draft for this post. It was unfinished when I inadvertently browsed to another page and cleared the form I had been typing. I have no idea how wordpress resurrected it, but by the time I realized it, I had already re-posted on the same topic. Yes, this one is a …
I don’t get it, how is this controversial? A controversy is a contentious dispute, a disagreement in opinions over which parties are actively arguing. Why would there be any controversy over this? Who would disagree that this moron was trying to impose his hateful ideas on his students? The only good things I see in …
