Because the suppression of human rights is unacceptable at any level and by any government or other agency, it is important to bring these issues out in the open. Light has a purging effect on evil. The darkness needs to retreat. There is much bootlicking homage paid to supposed 'champions' of human rights, albeit of yore. Such as the United States. The truth is that this is a laughable proposition. For two years in a row in the late 80s, buried in the New York Times were tiny single-paragraph mentions of Congress' approval of bills for the sale of instruments of torture (they specifically mentioned cattle prods as an example) to 'friendly countries.' I only recall Germany and Japan being mentioned in the roster. The joke must e

Nothing makes a mom-blogger prouder than to open the online editorial page of a major newspaper and see a picture of her daughter with a hyper-linked headline that asks "Is Blogging About Your Kid Exploitation?"Of course it is, you say to yourself. And then you print the article and fold it neatly - you know, for the scrapbook, and also maybe for tax purposes - alongside the stacks and stacks of hundred-dollar bills you've collected from the enterprise of exploiting your daughter. The stacks that you make her wrap in wee elastic bands and load into the stroller basket to take to the bank. When she's not busy posing for the pictures that you post on your exploitative 'GET UR LIVE TODDLER SHOW RITE HEER" blog, that is.

In 1978, race relations in Britain were in crisis. The National Front was gathering power and immigrants lived in fear of violence. But that year also saw the rise of a campaign aimed at halting the tide of hatred with music - a grassroots movement culminating in a march across London and an open-air concert in the East End. On the eve of a festival marking the 30th anniversary of that remarkable day, we remember the birth of Rock Against RacismOn 30 April 1978, a crowd gathered in Victoria Park in London's East End.

I am a recovering addict. No. Not drugs. Junk food. I filled my body with it on a regular basis. Chocolate, soda, fast food, chips and any other thing I could find that I thought tasted good. Junk food fueled my life. It wasn’t a very healthy choice for me. As a matter of fact, the various junk food that I was consuming were the very things that I disposed of when I started cleaning the “yuckie” things out of my life.
First went sodas. Pepsi was my drug of choice. Nothing could compare. Oh how good it tasted straight from the fridge. Icy cold. Smooth and sweet. When I was stressed, I could down a whole one without a breath. I still crave them. More than anything that I have tossed out. Pepsi still haunts me.

Michael J. Totten - Egypt's Grand Imam Mohammed Sayyed Tantawi threatened “severe” consequences if the Dutch government doesn’t ban Parliamentarian Geert Wilders’ anti-Islamic film Fitna. It makes no difference to Tantawi and other perpetually outraged Islamists that the Netherlands is a sovereign country with its own laws. Ever since Iran’s Ayatollah Khomeini condemned Salman Rushdie to death for writing the supposedly offensive Satanic Verses – and sent death squads after him and his publishers around the world – radical Islamists have seen it as their right and duty to enforce their own unilateral anti-blasphemy laws on the human race.
