Politics (new) Christianity Movies http://thebarnyard.blogdrive.com/archive/117.html Wed, 07 Mar 2007 01:48:51 GMT When Fox News first arrived on the scene, it was a breath of fresh air. In a news world filled with biases, blandness and outright support of a left-wing agenda, we finally had something “Fair and Balanced”. Fox News was not a conservative network; it presented views from all sides of the aisle, letting the viewer make his own opinion. That was all we ever wanted and we were happy. Now, however, as we have become a bit spoiled by having our new and improved news service I want something a little more: Responsibility. Fox News may still present a neutral political point of...

Several of my less politically astute friends have asked who is going to be the next commander-in-chief. I have no clue who it will be, but I can, with little doubt, predict who it will not be: a Republican. There is a big difference between those of the voting populace who are more liberal, tending to vote Democrat and those who are more conservative tending to vote Republican. Those who are in the broad liberal camp (we are speaking in generalities here) think of their identity in terms of the group. They...

For those of you not keeping up, the United States had a sweep going receiving prises in Medicine, Chemistry, Physics and Economics. We all knew that couldn't last so it was no surprise that the Literature prise went to a Turk. But the crème` de la crème, of course, is the original, the Peace Prize. And everybody knows an American can only get this prize (nowadays) if he's disagreeing with the United States. (Cough, Cough) As with most everything bleeding-heart, leaf-kissing liberals do, this...

No sense in both of us looking for new employment right? Somewhere in the job hunting season we were at a Vet School function and a practice owner stuck a business card in the Swan's hand saying “I am looking to hire someone, keep me in mind.” A little bit later, a classmate...

Seeing as how Rhode Island is the only state in the Union that still celebrates VJ day, you might have missed that. I find it a bit ironic that on the day we (are supposed to) commemorate the surrender of Japan in WWII we hear the news being spread that Israel has agreed to a ceasefire with Hezbollah. Pop quiz for all you government school graduates: What were the terms of surrender for Japan at the end of World War II? That's right, unconditional. Just so there's not ambiguity here, unconditional meant that they did what ever the bloody hell we...

For you UAT grads, those are the capitals of Syria and Iran respectively. A firebomb is one that sets the whole countryside on fire, its purpose being to inflict as many causalities as possible (as opposed to taking out a specific building). We used these bombs a extensively in WWII. Note: The image at the right has been stolen from IMAO. This blog was founded on an essay calling for the United States to Nuke the Moon, based on similar reasoning to the position laid out below. You might want to give that a read. Consider when...

Let's see if we can't settle the dust a bit. Imagine a drawing of a family tree, one drawn to look like an actual tree. You start with a single trunk at the bottom, and it forks off to each side for the first generation of children. Then each of those branches forks and so on. The same thing happens in our bodies with our cells. When the egg and sperm combine, a single cell is created. If you will remember high school biology, when a cell divides the two new daughter cells are...

Overall I would give Superman Returns about one-and-a-half primary feathers up. X-Men III however, (and remember this is coming from a great fan of X-Men comics, cartoons and movies) gets a decisive two primary feathers down. According to Andrew Coffin (who's World Magazine review of the two movies...

This included one sniveling little anti-American tirade from the second coming of Wilt Chamberlain. The reporter cited a poll across Europe showing that most Europeans disagree with our actions in Afghanistan and Iraq. The poll also showed that Europeans are more afraid of the U.S. than Iran. You get that? After we saved their behinds in WWI and II, after the 9/11 attacks, after the Madrid bombings, after the London attacks, after Saddam killed millions of his own people and was giving money to...

That is becuase IE is at least 2 years behind the internet curve. Suffer through things not looking right, or upgrade==> We've all known the Turkeys of this world are a bunch of hypocrites, but sometimes it amazes me just how blatantly they show this off.
