BELOW THE RADAR---STORIES BREAKING ON THE WEEKEND WHILE ALL THE JOURNALISTS VACATION------

  • Brit press breaking story of Brit prisoner torture. May not be accurate because pix being run may have been staged. But prisoner treatment way outside the lines. HERE, more reliable link HERE, and a kinky link to the New York Times requires registration. later add MSNBC, the always credible Ashleigh Banfield (ho ho), is reporting the pictures as fact, the Brit press says it looks like the pictures were staged, meaning that the sex acts weren't actually happening. A guy tied up and hanging from a forklift real. Again, don't trust the media.
  • New Game Show in Britain---See, here's the concept: these foreign laborers and stuff seeking asylum are captured and put on a game show. The audience votes whether to deport them or not. HERE
  • As California faces bankruptcy, spending INCREASES Here's just some of the spending proposals being discussed, while state has a $35 billion deficit:spend millions to change the date of the statewide primary election, $1.3 million to protect coho salmon $300,000 to study the effectiveness of HOV lanes, $250,000 to study the impact of legalizing and licensing pet ferrets, $4.3 million to save "Heritage Trees", $150,000 to stuff voter registration cards into income tax forms, $250,000 to form a commission to trim bureaucratic fat, and $45 million so California can hold two primary elections every four years instead of one. And you can bet California will be coming to the Feds for money.
  • And now it's Vanity Fair with a fake story deliberately misquoting Wolfowitz. Do any of us believe anything in the main media? They are all liars and they are all on the Left. Particularly upsetting on this one is that the author, Sam Tannenhaus, is a truly great writer, a Pulitzer winner for "Whittaker Chambers" and a long history. That he would deliberately lie sucks.
  • Modern Drunkard Magazine is a must read. Link courtesy of Common Sense.
