You know, of course, that we’ve The One who tells us that all we need to fill the deficit, all we need to do to make the nasty there is no money tree problems go away, is to hire more taxmen and point them at all those nasty tax dodgers. That he’s paid by the

The Palestinian Authority had its own way of commemorating International Holocaust Remembrance Day this year. They chose that occasion to have official Fatah-run Palestinian TV glorify the murderers of the Fogel family. You might remember the Fogels. They were a young family living in the Jewish community of Itamar who were at home, relaxing after the Sabbath. On March 11, 2011, two Arabs affiliat...

The Daily Epxress on Wednesday gave a platform to Anne Widdecombe to peddle her 'cure gay people' mantra. You can read it here. Not only is this a breach of the ethical standards of journalism, it is an incitement to anti-gay verbal and physical attacks.

The biggest danger for the Liberal Democrats from this coming trial is that it turns the party into the butt of everybody’s jokes. Having gone into government and lost much of their original support by taking tough decisions, they have consoled themselves with the hope that they have now established themselves as a serious political party.   Their aim at the next election will be to pre...

Apparently, Mr. Daisey is an actor, author, commentator and playright. Perhaps I should have heard of him too. He’s getting shouty about this, saying that I’m a racist neoliberal who knows nothing about the issue and therefore I should shut up. Or something. Just as a little stylistic note: We have no idea what the

Bush didn't do it, Biden advised against it, and everyone knew it was a ballsy decision. Given his independent status, the Daily Dish's Andrew Sullivan is a powerful and articulate cheerleader for Obama. Here, he reminds us that the decision to get Bin Laden would have caused the GOP to demand an extra face on Mount Rushmore if only he were a Republican. He says: It was Obama who made that dangero...

The above picture is of the Church of Jesus Christ the Adolescent, which is found on the top of a hill in Nazareth in Israel. It presumably gets its name from the fact that Jesus Christ did apparently spend his teenage years in Nazareth. I post the picture merely because everyone I have shown the picture too so far has laughed at the name. Thinking about it more, though, asking people to complete ...

Whoopsie: The supposed ‘consensus’ on man-made global warming is facing an inconvenient challenge after the release of new temperature data showing the planet has not warmed for the past 15 years. The figures suggest that we could even be heading for a mini ice age to rival the 70-year temperature drop that saw frost fairs held on the Thames in the 17th Century. Based on readings from ...

Hartnett wants the citizenry to stop giving cash to their cleaners, gardeners, and to small tradesmen and other potential tax cheats and economic criminals so that they can no longer avoid paying taxes. Hartnett’s vision of Britain is a society of snoops and denunciators. “Households have a duty to ensure that other people do not evade paying their share of tax. The people who ...

Attorney General Eric Holder’s Department of Justice did a document dump on Operation Fast and Furious to congressional officials late Friday night. One part of this was a series of emails showing Holder was informed of Border Patrol agent Brian Terry’s murder on the day it happened – December 15, 2010 – and that he was informed the weapons used to kill Terry were from Fast...
