My buddy Zach, his girl Trish the Dish and I went to the Arizona Diamondbacks game last night and later went to an Irish Pub, Seamus McCaffreys.

McCaffreys has signs like "Help Wanted - Irish Need Not Apply," and "Athenry, 2.5 kilometers."  It makes a guy like myself who has always wanted to be […]

A recent poll shows 63 percent of Palestinians support launching rockets into Israel, 75 percent support kidnapping Israeli soldiers whereas 77 percent favor a peace treaty with Israel.

Perhaps the Islamo Fascists don’t understand irony.  Or more likely, they do not care. 
The manner in which Muslims and those sympathetic to the terrorists counter recent Islamic violence is to say the Church participated in violence in the name of Christianity 100s of years ago.  Excuse me, but doesn’t that justify exactly what Pope […]

Ahmadinejad is the Howard Dean of Middle Eastern politics.  They both seem to believe what they say, and they continue to make really dumb statements.

the […]

Anjem Choudary, a Muslim cleric in England has called for the Pope’s execution because he "insulted" Islam. 
Like other Islamic terrorists, Choudary would subject non-Muslims to Shari’a law which says "Whoever insults the message of Mohammed is going to be subject to capital punishment."

Whether or not it will take hold and grow exponentially, only time will tell.
The Boston Globe is reporting on Al Qasemi college, which was founded […]

Gunman shot a nun in the chest, stomach and back at a children’s hospital in Somalia meanwhile killing her security guard.  What does a nun who lived in an Islamic run society need a security guard for?
