In an extraordinary article in the Washington Post, Richard Goldstone has now admitted that his infamous report was wrong.

In September 2009, it hit the diplomatic world like a tornado: Richard Goldstone, the respected South African jurist, issued a U.N.-sponsored report condemning Israel for "war crimes" of intentionally targeting civilians in Gaza.

An overview of the trial of Shawna Forde in Tucson tells us little we don't already know.... I kept missing the fact that she was a beautician....

The show at the Capitol yesterday sounds hysterical alright: everyone from the most ardent advocate of children's rights to the most extreme right-wing nativist! The only thing to which I can imagine comparing it is the endless array of comments at the end of the article....

Rick Scott says that he's going to focus on jobs, education, and the rule of law; but Gary Borders is running Lake County like his own personal mafia! And the governor is instead involved in promoting an Arizona SB1070-copycat bill - I guess that's his definition of rule of law!

Fascinating debate about the MSM's power or lack thereof over the outcome of the revolution on the streets of Cairo....

If you were fascinated by the treatment of Couric & Anderson, you should be mesmerized by the way the rest of the foreign press is being handled by the Mukhabarat - though not surprised as they have been trained & funded by the CIA for decades!

Another shock video campaign proven to be based on a hoax!

Once again, the data shows that 287(g) programs are violating people's civil rights, fighting efforts at accountability & oversight, & choosing to ignore the directive to focus on dangerous criminals rather than increasing their numbers by picking on the easiest targets in the im …

A rather unbiased piece (though tipped off in the end) by a "real socialist" (not your animus Obamacreation that you keep dreaming up around every left-leaning corner in DC today) about the facts on the ground & what you should know about the Egyptian revolution: that it's "a mas …

You don't need to read the 46-page Missouri Supreme Court decision to determine that this Guatemalan mother's due process & maternal rights were infringed upon: it's common sense!

A genius piece of journalism on "the other Arizona" explores the state that time forgot, the liberal intelligentsia oft overlooked by the MSM: it starts with a story of how a (most likely Muslim) African scout led the first (Spanish) settlers to the gates of the Salt River & ends …

At least the British press is covering the trial of Shawna Forde for this outrageous murder of 9-year-old Brisenia Flores & her father by the renegade Minutemen operative.

A brilliant academic piece which shows that not only will rescinding birthright citizenship create a massive new bureaucracy at a time when we need to streamline but it would deprive us of the crucial resource of young people who are paying taxes, fulfilling civil & military serv …

Here come the states!

We definitely need to heed Tim's advice to put away "the safe & sanitized version of this man & his compatriots" & "awaken from the stupor" which our "Ambien-induced haze" has cast upon us in order to deal with the legacies of injustice which MLK against which he spent his life f …

Let's hope that noone protests at the funerals!

I can't believe that "no state or federal judge has ever been impeached to punish a judicial opinion" yet in the history of our country: unfortunately these Family Leader folks dont' seem to be weary of "dangerous" roads....

It takes a pretty sick mind to come up with the many things that Limbaugh has been spewing over the years, but this one could be his "David" moment....

This is terrible news!

Apparently, House Republicans are not reading the same briefs on the topic as we are....

WBAI's Evening News had the best coverage, detailing the stories of the unscrupulous restauranteur who answered a plea for payment with a whack of a frying pan & the contractor who threw someone out of a moving vehicle after they had severely beaten them - all for asking when the …

Imagine if your employers felt that they could strike you upside the head with a frying pan when you asked to get paid or throw you out of a moving car after severely assaulting you - & get away with it! Would you believe in the need for better labor laws then?

You know how you are always reading that Israel is "illegally occupying" territories? The phrase is used all the time, even by the UN. And it is not true - even if you believe that Israel is occupying territory and that it is not "disputed."

Palestinian Authority leaders are now saying that they will never recognize Israel as a Jewish state because that would mean that they would have to give up the "right of return" for millions of Palestinians to their original homes inside Israel.
