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.

Astounding.  Frightening.  Despicable.  And yet, these are the people who claim a mandate to police the world.  From The Weekly Standard, “What did you do in the war, UNIFIL?”: DURING THE RECENT month-long war between Hezbollah and Israel, U.N. “peacekeeping” forces made a startling contribution: They openly published daily real-time intelligence, of obvious usefulness to Hezbollah, on the location, equipment, and force structure of Israeli troops in Lebanon. UNIFIL–the United

From UPI: Iran test fired a sub-to-surface missile in the Persian Gulf during large-scale military exercises, it was reported Sunday. The Sagheb, or “Piercing,” missile was fired from a submarine and hit a target on the surface of the water less than a mile away, Iran’s official Islamic Republican News Agency, or IRNA, reported. The test was conducted during Iran’s “Blow of Zolfaqar” military exercises, named for the sword of

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

RTO Trainer posts a story that should receive wide dissemination.  Consider this my part in helping to make that happen.  And in helping to expose just how conspiracy mongering is born and thrives.

—You’re damn right.  Because I make the rules around this place.  And don’t you forget it. As for the little fella, well, he danced up a storm last night at the Rocky Mountain Blogger Bash—that is, until he got into a bit of a scrap with our cocktail waitress, who didn’t much care for a certain comment he made about her rather pronounced fun bags.  After that, the mood turned

Remember Editor and Publisher editor Greg Mitchell’s recent attacks on bloggers while rationalizing the use of propaganda in some of the photojournalistic coverage of the Israel / Lebanon skirmish?  Well, it seems old Greg maybe had a reason to pitch that particular fit of justification.  From Media Info, back in 2003, here’s Mr Mitchell: Since the press seems to be in full-disclosure mode these days, I want to finally come
