New TV Series Has 'Extremist' Christian Beheading 'Moderate' Muslim
Last week, the BBC aired a new TV series titled "Bonekickers" touted as a "groundbreaking" show where "history comes alive," and a series that is "Based in fact." The premier episode, though features an odd thing if "fact" is the aim of the Beeb's new TV series: a Christian beheading a Muslim. Yeah, THAT is really a "fact" based premise, isn't it?

Broder's Bizarre Non Sequitur
Wha-h-h-h? This has to go down as one of the stranger non sequiturs from a pundit of national standing.

Cartoonist Rall Sees 'Bad Times' for Country as 'Great Times' for Him
Riddle me this: when is a cartoonist as shallow and one dimensional as his own creations? When his name is Ted Rall.

Let Them In: WSJ Editor Argues for Open Borders
The editorial page of the Wall Street Journal has long been an indispensable voice of conservatism. As President Bush said in 2003 in awarding the Medal of Freedom to editorial page editor Robert L. Bartley shortly before his death, he—and by extension his editorial page—has been "a champion of free markets, individual liberty and the values necessary for a free society."But there is one area in…
