Just one day after his 46th anniversary at The Chicago Sun Times, Roger Ebert died after a long battle with cancer. Monday, he posted to his blog, announcing that he was taking a “leave of presence”, stating that his recent hip injury revealed cancer. The majority of his final post outlined his future plans, and [...]
If you were keeping track of some official North Korean social media accounts and saw some odd posts from them, that wasn’t a mistake. Apparently they were hacked. Notably, the North’s Uriminzokkiri Twitter and Flickr accounts were hit, and ceased sending out typical posts depicting Kim Jong Un with the military. Instead, a picture posted [...]
Ever think about where the cow was born and slaughtered when you were biting into a nice, juicy burger? If you’re like most people, probably not. But that might change if the U.S. Department of Agriculture gets its way. Taking “truth in advertising” to a whole new level, the USDA wants to include the location [...]

Preaching to the choir here on gun control in general, however this is meaningful especially now. As the UN is preparing to enforce worldwide disarmament of citizens, it is important to remember these statistics, and remind our lawmakers about them. In the coming weeks, there is no doubt that there will be many requests and [...]
Couldn’t say it better myself! This was published by The Maryland Minutemen on March 25th, and has since gone viral. H/T to The Blacksphere.
Some of you may be aware of the fact that I write for Examiner.com. If you’re fairly close to me, you also know that I get some degree of amusement over their system of categorizing content. Sometimes they quietly let me know that they’re not exactly happy with what I post there. They don’t remove [...]
Since the Supreme Court is hearing the cases on gay marriage, of course there are piles of blogs, columns, and media commentaries about the oral arguments that were made in Court. In all honesty, I had no intentions of weighing in on this issue – at all – until a short exchange on Twitter with [...]
Curtice Mang has an interesting sense of humor. He is not crass like a Todd Kincannon, and is not utterly dismissive of liberals like Kurt Schlichter. However, in his book The Constitution – I’m Not Kidding! And Other Tales of Liberal Folly, Mang places the follies of liberal policies in simplistic terms that can leave [...]
Ok, maybe not. But Morsi’s opposition is having a bit of fun with videos, depicting the Egyptian president as “Mario” from Super Mario Brothers. As reported in Al Arabiya, the “game” features Morsi defeating his opponents – past and present – beating them down during the game. Of course, the ending is a reference to [...]
A year ago today, I watched as many from the conservative movement in America came apart at the seams. If I had taken the time to describe it to my mother, I have no doubt she would have likened it to November 22, 1963, at least from the perspective that it would be a permanent [...]
The name Bob Woodward has been synonymous with investigative journalism for the vast majority of my lifetime. By the time I started getting my feet wet in that world, his words had been used for years by Journalism professors across the country – including my own. And I had assumed that he would enjoy privileged [...]
We politicize everything, it seems. Lately, it’s been seeping into the world of entertainment, particularly music. And if there’s one quick and easy way to make me furious, it is by screwing around in that arena. Anyone that pays attention to me on Twitter knows by now that I am a Spotify addict, but what [...]
Everybody’s doing the Harlem Shake these days. It’s even caught on in the Middle East. According to Al-Monitor’s Pulse, tracking trending media in the region, the above video is trending. Of course, a quick search on YouTube leads one to a “greatest hits” version out of Saudi Arabia: Gotta give credit to the ones that [...]
