Like I have been saying for many months, the islamic revolution is coming. You see the excuses they make for violence around the world, and it won't be long before this happens here in America. It's no secret that liberals in this country oppose almost every measure to fight terror, they take every chance they get to criticize our country, and liberal DNC leader himself has declared he thinks osama should get a fair trial, but Tom Delay is automatically guilty. When islamists are burnin...

In a bombshell announcement, Christopher Burnham, undersecretary general for management, said an internal audit into the purchasing of supplies for peacekeeping operations found widespread waste and corruption that has raised "a number of serious concerns" about the U.N. procurement system. "The potential abuse could go into the tens of millions of dollars," Burnham said. ........we are in the middle of looking at 200 different reports of abuse."

The Nintento Revolution is something I definitely want. The Nintendo Revolution will go on sale later this year at a price of less than $300, the company's executive vice president of sales and Marketing Reggie Fils-Aime told CNET News.com in an interview earlier this week. The news sent the company's stock soaring in Japan, up 6.4 percent to 16,090 yen Friday. Fils-Aime also took the opportunity to criticize Nintendo's rivals for pricing consumers out of the market. He pointed to the X...

Sometimes you just have to laugh at how stupid these people are. Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass.), who criticized Supreme Court nominee Samuel A. Alito Jr.'s past membership in a controversial Princeton University alumni club, severed his ties with a former Harvard college social club that bans women members. "He has decided to be taken off their rolls, believing that it is a mistake to continue to be affiliated," Kennedy spokeswoman Melissa Wagoner said in a statement. Link ...

I always figured the PS3 would be released around the Holiday season.  The release of Sony's highly anticipated PlayStation 3 may not occur in the U.S. until the holiday season of 2006, analysts say. Furthermore, in what could be potentially damaging to the gaming console's overall sales, the number of titles available may be far less than competitor Xbox 360. A working version of the console was notably absent at this year's Consumer Electronics Show, and Sony CEO Howard String...

Federal agents have launched an investigation into a surge in the purchase of large quantities of disposable cell phones by individuals from the Middle East and Pakistan, ABC News has learned. The phones — which do not require purchasers to sign a contract or have a credit card — have many legitimate uses, and are popular with people who have bad credit or for use as emergency phones tucked away in glove compartments or tackle boxes. But since they ...

NYPD Gets 'Islamic-Culture Training' Police in New York are getting "Islamic-culture training" to prepare them for dealing with Muslims in the city, home to 16 percent of the nation’s Muslims. About 100 members of the NYPD’s hostage negotiating team spent a day at a local college learning about mosques, prayer rituals, holidays and other facets of Islamic life.

The controversy following revelations that U.S. intelligence agencies have monitored suspected terrorist related communications since 9/11 reflects a severe case of selective amnesia by the New York Times and other media opponents of President Bush. They certainly didn’t show the same outrage when a much more invasive and indiscriminate domestic surveillance program came to light during the Clinton administration in the 1990’s. At that time, the Times called the surveillance "a necessity." ...
