GolfNow TV likes to offer a trivia question that is always fun to hunt down the answer too although they make it easy with a video you can watch but what fun is it if you can'd do a little research yourself on the internet? So the question today has to do with who was awarded the Purple Heart in WWII and then went on to win a

Is this any way to run a war? Outsource things to contractors, let them run wild and unaccountable (Blackwater) and give them carte blanche to spend as they wish, because no one's going to check.
The BBC checked, unlike the chicken-crap US networks, busy reporting on 'reality' shows, and came up with numbers and names.

Terrorism has been a problem for thousands of years, and it’s only recently that the Western nations have had to deal with it head on. Nine times out of ten, our instinctive response to a terrorist act is to strike back, and strike hard.

No amount of money could get me to risk my life in a war or being put into a position where I’d have to kill someone else. I think I have fairly strong believes against war and the whole “fight for your country” theme. If the world’s population had just a little bit more common sense and logic, all of the supposed necessary bloodshed could be

MI5 employed charlatan-extraordinaire Louis de Wohl for time during WW2 in order to "match the forecasts of the Nazi leader's personal astrologers." His mysterious past (mostly just a series of lies he told about his life) must have made him seem the perfect astrologer to counter Hitler's. At various times, de Wohl claimed

The new year is here and you already have new DVDs out, although none of them are spectacular in nature.

Shoot 'em Up is one of them, with Clive Owen, an over-the-top action movie about a babysitter (Owen) who has to go after a kidnapped child. Paul Giamatti is also in it and the movie is almost a satire on action flicks with a lot of com

She was the Princess Ajita,
the heaven’s beauty,and the nature’s grace
and he was poet royale Shekhar,
smith of the words, sewing them with a lace

and he was Shekhar,on poems of whose the kingdom revelled
He loved her, with all his poetical truth,
and all his white heart.

While most people, including John Murtha, have admitted that the surge is working, Nancy Pelosi is still holding firm to the idea that it has been a failure. She ignores the fact that Anbar province, which was the worst section of Iraq, has been handed over to Iraqi forces. She also must be unaware of the report

Bush missed the key sign. Imagine that. Bush, once again, had the opportunity to repair his broken legacy but didn't recognize his big opportunity.

Now, since we must continue to feed the military machine, Bush could take the troops out of Iraq and send them down to Venezuela (Please see PutinToon 54: American Troops Surf t

Things will be even more interesting if Hillary runs over Obama in West Virginia and Kentucky. And what a drama it would be if Democrats let Michigan and Florida have their say so. Yes, these two states broke Howard Dean's rule by changing their primary dates, but who'd have thought this race would be so damn exciting?
