Re: Cookie Monster = id
Cookie has always been one of my favorites. He's blue. He's a monster. He likes cookies. Pure and simple. I'll admit it's been more than a decade since I've seen him regularly, but when my oldest was young, she used to call him the ''Cookie Mommy.'' I loved that. Leave it to a two-year-old to have such a simple view of his function (and ...

You are in my Prayers
I read your article, ''What I've learned from debating religious people around the world'' with fascination. To provide you with some insight I am what is commonly called an evangelical Christian, but could not be accurately labeled as a full Calvinist. I try my best to communicate in a manner that saves others from perdition and I likewise strive ...

Conqueror Hitchens Ignores Reality of the Past and Future
Hitchens' perverted arrogance ignores the fact that America occupies at least 2 nations with its military forces that are Muslim majority. And there are perhaps 100s of American military installations in Muslim nations around the world that the US gov has manipulated to justify their presence in foreign lands. So there are serious ...

Is America Bankrupt of Moral Intelligence?
In the Fog of War, Robert McNamara said of the firebombings during WWII that America lacked a moral intelligence and that if America lost, he and SecDef LeMays would be prosecuted for war crimes. While America did not firebomb Baghdad of Kabul after 9/11/01, many things have surfaced which continue to go unaddressed going back to McNamara's ...

Who's leaving Iraq?
There are still 130,000+ US troops in Iraq. There are likely 100,000+ military contractors (under DOD contracts and Iraqi ministry of defense) in Iraq. 8 of the 10 largest nongovernment oil corporations in the world are bidding on Iraqi oil and mineral contracts starting on the day of 'Iraqi independence'. Whereever America oil companies have ...

Maroc: The Servile King And His Beaten People
King Mohammed VI of Morocco claims to be a descendent of the Prophet Muhammad (saaw), is he ready to be judged by the highest standard? Yes, Anne Applebaum, former AEI adjunct fellow, celebrates Morocco as a ''crowning'' improvement of her idea of an 'Islamic' state. But this word ''Islamic'' is being used as an adjective, not as a legal ...

it will get worse
Yea, just think how sickening it will be and vomitous we'll feel when we look back at Obama and this administration in the years to come. Can you spell ''upchuck''?

Huff Post's Hypocricy and Chaos in Iran Reporting
I recently found a reference to a Sy Hersh piece wherein he reveals America has been working to overthrow the Iranian regime led by Khamenei since at least 2007. And that article I found highlighted on the Huffington Post here: Late last year, Congress agreed to a request from President Bush to fund a major escalation of covert operations against ...

Re: Don't turn Slate into Wikipedia
Wow, trash-talking in Fray - not really new, but certainly a surprise in response to a post as inoffensive as mine. Indeed, if anyone had the self-righteous, pontificating post that merited rebuking, it certainly was you. Wikipedia and Slate use hyperlinks for completely different reasons (the former for intra-referencing, the latter for ...
