Life at the Bottom - (USA)
Life at the Bottom Theodore Dalrymple, Life at the Bottom: The Worldview That Makes the Underclass (Chicago: Ivan R. Dee, 2001), pp. xv + 263 This is an astonishingly depressing book. You really do need to read it--but there are a few caveats that I will get to at the end of the review. Dalrymple is a psychiatrist in a large inner city. If you just flipped the book open at random, some people would read these horrifying accounts, and notice that the all the prices and values are expressed in

Report: Police Looking For Suspects In Walmart Trampling - (USA)
It happens every year; thousands upon millions of self-indulged, me, me, me types line up outside of stores at God awful hours the day after Thanksgiving hoping to be one of the lucky few to be able to pick up a limited number of $50 laptops or $200 52? LCD flat panel televisions. When the doors open they rush, crush, elbow, claw and grapple for the products. Fights always ensue and injuries occur as people rush to save a few bucks after being enticed by a few slashed prices on coveted products

More On That Asian Junket - (USA)
My partner in political crime reports this morning that Mayor Greg Ballard will reimburse taxpayers for the cost of his wife’s flight to accompany him on an Asian trade mission this week. That’s a good, if belated, step in the right direction, but I still haven’t heard any good explanation for why we should be footing the bill for any part of her trip. (Also, is the First Couple flying first class? What’s their itinerary? When will this information be disclosed?) Winnie Ballard is a native of

Oye Lucky Lucky Oye Movie Review - (USA)
Oye Lucky Lucky Oye Movie Review Oye Lucky Lucky Oye is very very intelligent film bound to be underestimated and ignored for the lack of big stars and exotic locations. The depth in the film’s plot, setting and narrative under the surface of a comedy really amazed me.One critic said, “Oye Lucky…” is a sly, shimmering mirror of a dysfunctional society always craving for more… not knowing where the greed to be upwardly mobile finally ends. The all-consuming impulses of the Indian middle-class,

How To Lookup Public Arrest Records On The Web - (USA)
by Terry Johnson Ours is an open society. One of the biggest claims to that is our Public Records. The Freedom of Information Act mandates their availability. There are various categories of Public Records and within the range which pertains to crime violation are Arrest, Court, Inmate, Criminal, Sex Offender and Police Records along with quite a few others. Driving and Jaywalking offenses are available too if it is so wished. Out of these, one of the favorites is Free Arrest Records. It is

Who Attacked Mumbai and Why it DOESN'T Matter - (USA)
For five days now the media has been speculating just who is behind the horrible attacks in Mumbai whether it was al-Qaeda or a local terrorist group, whether they were targeting Indians, British, Americans, Jews or all of the above. The real truth is, it doesn't really matter. Terrorism like politics is local. And whether the group that caused all of the death in Mumbai is al-Qaeda or just a franchise, the truth is they support an Ideology that hates ALL non-Muslims, and they threaten us all: M

Our next door neighbors - (USA)
When I was five years old (so this would have been in the mid-1960s), as part of a trip to Southern California, my parents dipped us into Tijuana. I still remember that trip. We went to a large, crowded market place that smelled bad. That’s all I remember. But what my parents remember is me coming to a dead stop in the middle of the market and howling “I want to go back to my own civilization.” Tijuana is still an uncivilized place , and continues as a reminder that Mexico is an unstable,

Why Do Republicans Want to Give Nancy Pelosi the Pardon Power? - (USA)
Pardoner of the House? Is waterboarding torture? Charles Krauthammer argues today that because Nancy Pelosi was briefed about waterboarding in 2003 (after it happened), she blessed it. “Our jurisprudence has the “reasonable man” standard … On the morality of waterboarding and other ‘torture,’ Pelosi and other senior and expert members of Congress represented their colleagues, and indeed the entire American people, in rendering the reasonable person verdict. What did they do? They gave t

Besides the latest from Mumbai, the most interesting news tonight concerns the BNP. The Labour government’s policy of overt persecution towards the BNP and other dissenters has backfired, and the BNP is gaining in strength. There are a couple of reports below about yesterday’s BNP demonstration in Liverpool, which was mounted as a response to the arrest of three party members for handing out leaflets.Thanks to C.

I am now about to commit the cardinal sin for a Conservative, and discuss philosophy. Cultural Marxism: a philosophy which Conservatism has frequently opposed, but rarely understood.

The Demoman: Batman: Arkham Asylum - (USA)
As the Demoman, it’s eerie just how much in common I have with Batman, even beyond beyond the fact that both our names end in “man.” Batman is a vigilante, operating outside the law to bring criminals to justice. The Demoman doesn’t play by society’s rules either: when installing a new game I often accept the terms of the license agreements without even reading them. Batman uses a number of high-tech gadgets to fight crime, and I own one of those Magic Bullet food processors that lets me make
