Shelby Steele, in the WSJ […] the international left is in its own contest with American exceptionalism. It keeps charging Israel and America with oppression hoping to mute American power. And this works in today’s world because the oppression script is so familiar and because American power cringes when labeled with sins of the white Western past. Yet whenever the left does this, it makes room for extremism by lending

Yesterday, I posted excerpts from a Weekly Standard piece detailing how UNIFIL had actively (whether intentionally or not is more difficult to prove) aided Hezbollah / Lebanon is its recent war with Israel by providing information about Israeli positions, troop deployment, etc. Now, take that information and combine it with Zombietime’s extensive piece detailing the ICRC Ambulance 782 hoax—and all the other instances of fauxtography bloggers have uncovered from that

Any of you interested in trying to come up with some theme music for our show?—something along the lines of the “Vent” theme but peculiar to our little internet teevee thing? If so, please do.  Email me the files or post them here in the comments.

FOXNews’ Centanni and Wiig freed—but not before undergoing a completely voluntary conversion to Islam.  Of course, “voluntary” to Islamists means something along the lines of “you are free to convert or not, but if you don’t, our God wishes us to dress in Reeboks, put hankerchiefs over our faces, and saw your ungrateful head off with a hunting knife while we videotape it.” Video clips, including the “conversion” video, and

From Ynet: Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh said he hopes that “the matter of the two kidnapped foreign journalists will be resolved within hours and that they will be released.” Haniyeh said that those behind the abduction pledged before the Palestinian government not to harm the captives, and added that he was receiving updates from the interior minister on the matter. Hmm. Maybe that whole “guest” thing is working, afterall.

From FOXNews: Iran’s hard-line president on Saturday inaugurated a heavy-water production plant, a facility the West fears will be used to develop a nuclear bomb, as Tehran remained defiant ahead of a U.N. deadline that could lead to sanctions. The U.N. has called on Tehran to stop the separate process of uranium enrichment — which also can be used to create nuclear weapons — by Thursday or face economic and
