Corporate Spending on Perks 'Egregious'? What about the Feds
As debate rages across the country about whether it is reasonable to reduce federal spending in light of the fact that the federal government is spending more than eight times what it takes in, the same publications willing to defend that spending often simultaneously criticize spending by businesses that make a profit.

Rebecca Black… On Second Thought
It’s a “uniquely terrible” song, and it may just be music to parents’ ears. Rebecca Black’s “Friday” says more about the state of cultural values in America, than perhaps her shallow teeny bopper song may let on.
In an age where drug and alcohol abuse, profanity, oral sex, threesomes, and sadomasochismare themes in pop culture songs, parents rightfully throw up their hands and wonder where…
Drug Laws: By Cenk's Logic, We Could Decriminalize Murder
When it comes to marijuana, I'm a libertarian. That said, Cenk Uygur has made possibly the worst argument ever in favor of legalizing it. On his MSNBC show this evening, Uygur advocated the decriminalization of marijuana since, 74 years after the feds made loco weed illegal, people continue to smoke it, or as Cenk put it, the War on Drugs is unwinnable.
Yo, Cenk: Cain killed Abel more than…

Showtime to Catholics: Here's an Evil, Degenerate Pope. Happy Easter
Never let it be said that Showtime ignores Christianity. In fact, the network that aired "The Tudors" is getting into the spirit of Lent and gleefully calling to mind some of the Catholic Church's centuries-old sins.
"The Borgias" is Showtime's new 10-part miniseries about the infamous 15thCentury Italian family of that name, and about a dark period in the history of the Church. Rodrigo…
CNN's O'Brien Slants Towards Muslims, Omits Woman's Connection to Mosq
CNN's Soledad O'Brien's Sunday documentary about the controversial mosque in Murfreesboro, Tennessee predictably leaned towards the local Muslims who want it built.

She also omitted how a featured Muslim woman is related to one of the…
