Be a Patriot, Pal. Save America. Forget Peace Corps. Become a Stamp Collector.

Normal people consistently can count the insecurity of their left-wing fans to give birth to a week’s worth of mirth.

Barrel-chested Bullies Are Back –All ‘Planned’ and Planted, You Know

Ari L. Noonan — 2012-02-08

It took the bulgy, angry, sex-deprived screamers from Planned Abortionhood three days to regain their wind after pulling off last week’s terrifically successful public relations scam against the genteel ladies of the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation.

Santorum Is Proof the Race Isn’t Over

My Opinion — 2012-02-08

What a night for Rick Santorum, who shocked the political world by winning all three of Tuesday's Presidential contests. Even though no delegates were technically awarded based on the results in Colorado, Missouri, and Minnesota, Santorum's clean sweep slammed the brakes on Mitt Romney’s momentum, and again cast the frontrunner’s inevitability into serious doubt.

Only Problem With Ron Paul’s Philosophy Is the Contents

Eric L. Wattree — 2012-02-08

It’s frightening how many Americans are willing to listen to a guy like Ron Paul. The Congressman is one of two things, either a typical demagogue or an unthinking ideologue. He specializes in combining fact with fiction by pointing out everything that’s wrong with all of the policies that are contrary to his agenda. He claims that his irresponsible solutions are a cure for all of the nation’s problems. His solutions are drawn from an outlandish philosophy, which, on its face, is a corruption of the U.S. Constitution and would constitute an exercise in national destruction.

Goodbye, Mr. Cahn, R.I.P.

Ari L. Noonan — 2012-02-07

My friend and teacher Joseph Cahn died yesterday morning. Even if your Hebrew is non-existent, you comprehend the meaning when I say a tzaddik has left our world.

The Un-gay Side of Gay Marriage

Ari L. Noonan — 2012-02-07

The breaking news: Dateline San Francisco – A divided three-judge panel from the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals this morning declared California's same-sex marriage ban, Prop. 8, unconstitutional but agreed to give sponsors of the bitterly contested, voter-approved law time to appeal the ruling before ordering the state to resume allowing gay couples to wed. By 2 to 1, they said a lower court judge correctly interpreted the U.S. Constitution and Supreme Court precedents when he declared in 2010 that Prop.8, a response to an earlier state court decision that legalized gay marriage, was a violation of the civil rights of gays and lesbians.

Two Kinds of People – Which One Are You?

Nicholas Pollak — 2012-02-06

The ugly beauty of bigotry is that because of its insidious nature, it must be subtle.

When Religion Is Not Out of Bounds

Ari L. Noonan — 2012-02-06

Speaking as a religious Jew, the most disheartening turn of the Presidential campaign has been the brazen daily mockery by the Angry Left of Mitt Romney’s religion.

A Case of Battered Women as ‘Planned’ Bullies Pull the Trigger

Dateline Jerusalem — The month of January in Israel was record-setting. Of 31 days, it rained 29, a first for this arid country where only 2 percent of the land of Israel has water.

Will the Sol Ever Shine Again Over Culver City?

Ari L. Noonan — 2012-02-03

With undeniable clarity and enviable eloquence, Sol Blumenfeld, perhaps the most under-rated orator in our town, explained – scenically, modestly – to a Chamber of Commerce breakfast yesterday how drastically the Redevelopment Agency has rearranged and upgraded Culver City just in the last four years.

A Christmas Present with a Happy Melody Included

Mike Hennessey — 2012-02-02

Dateline Dayton – What a weekend it was. Friday evening we went out for dinner, which for some reason took forever, and Pauline didn’t even get what she ordered after a very long wait. At least the manager took care of her meal.

Hurray for the Good Guys

The lady supremacists over at Planned Abortionhood have taken a deserved clop to the chops, financially, and so I ask you, how good can life get for normal people?

Obama Lagging, Badly, in Helping California Out of Housing Crisis

Thomas D. Elias — 2012-02-02

Pinpointing the prime cause of California’s slow recovery from recession is easy: Too little has been done about the crisis in housing construction, values and foreclosures.

Last week, I wrote a letter to the editor commenting about Culver City School Board members Karlo Silbiger and Nancy Goldberg meeting privately with a person who was suing the School District. I couldn’t believe that our elected School Board members would be so ignorant. Apparently, I was not the only one.

Obama in Gun Toters’ Sights

Dr. Earl Ofari Hutchinson — 2012-02-01

The bullet-riddled tee shirt of President Obama, posted brazenly on Facebook by seven semi-automatic gun-toting men among them a Peoria, AZ, police sergeant, was much more than the standard non-stop litany of racist cartoons, depictions, web postings and kooky loose talk threats against him.
