The story of Joseph Stack is a tragedy, of an extremely confused and disturbed man who sought to terrorize innocent civilians and employees of the government in the interests of his own sick, twisted agenda. It’s also, paradoxically, a tale of incredible fortune and serendipity. Unfortunately, it also seems to be an opportunity for partisans on [...] I could see the smoke from miles away on the Whitestone Expressway, a thick acrid black shroud of destruction tearing its way through a commercial strip in my hometown Jackson Heights. In the aftermath, it would turn out to be a four-alarm fire of questionable (or at least “unknown”) cause and all storefronts on the [...] With so-called comprehensive healthcare reform all but passed in the United States Senate, it seems certain that our nation will soon nationalize a major segment of our economy and place it under strict, socialist government control. I will spare you for now a thorough discussion on the merits and demerits of such a system, aside [...] If you ever wanted a clearer picture of the perils of one-party ideological rule in a jurisdiction, look no further than the continued reign and candidacy of New York’s own Napoleonic Mayor, Mike Bloomberg. Mayor Mike, as he likes to be called, was a lifelong Democrat until political expediency (avoiding a crowded primary battle) saw him [...] A post in two parts: I remain forever amazed at how little the politically devout actually know about marketing and messaging their platforms to the larger masses. Without question, politics inspires a certain form of relentless passion in engaged individuals, but that passion often creates a sort of “mandatory call to action: you must agree with [...] Three interesting little tidbits from the world of celebrities and gossip that I’m too lazy to post individually: Gwyneth Paltrow has underway a campaign to fill the earth with smelly, greasy-haired pregnant women. Apparently, according to an article in the rail-thin Madonna BFF’s online magazine allegedly authored by the celebrity herself, the magical elixir known as [...] The Mets may have had a fairly lousy and eventful offseason, but Alex Rodriguez has not exactly been the picture of quiet dignity these past few months, either. First, A-Rod abandoned his wife Cynthia for a flaccid affair with his “soulmate” — an aging, skeletal whore you may have heard of named Madonna. Then, [...] I have been remiss if I have not mentioned my deep and undying love for the tidbits emerging from The Yankee Years, Joe Torre’s tell-all expose revealing the hated Bronx franchise for all of its sordid mess. First came the revelation that his teammates referred to Alex Rodriguez as “A-Fraud.” Now comes wind of Roger [...] Philosophically, I am very apathetic towards imposing term limitations upon elected officials at any level of the government. For starters, limits should not even be necessary; the fine men and women called to serve high office should come from all walks of life, perform their civic duty, and then want to return to their [...] Apparently, the artist/actress/musician — and I use all of those terms in a purely ironic fashion — Madonna is no fan of Republican Vice Presidential Candidate Sarah Palin. MADONNA better not take her act to Alaska. At one point during the US kickoff of her “Sticky and Sweet” tour at the Meadowlands Saturday night, the Material [...] As Barack Hussein Obama’s campaign slowly spins down the slop-sink drain of history, his sycophantic supporters on the left in the world of celebrity have become increasingly unhinged. It started with the Queen of All Women Herself, Oprah Winfrey. You would think that someone who has so shrewdly positioned herself as the spokeswoman and representative [...] |
