As many know, California is in a serious budget crisis and it’s affecting higher eduction. Here’s an article outlining the grim situation at UCSB:

The Downfall of Hilary
Hillary’s Downfall – watch more funny videos
This video is hilarious.
But, let me qualify: First, I didn’t make it. Second, stuff with Hitler can make people sensitive. I am not, however, saying Hilary is like Hitler. I think Hilary could do great things for this country. But, I’m for Barack Obama. He [...]
Bill O’Reilly Is So Not Crazy
This is an old clip of Fox News host Bill O’Reilly showing him losing it back when he was the host of “Inside Edition” (1989-1995). The teleprompter doesn’t work and he gets pissed.
Bill O’Reilly is a Relativist about Truth?
Bill O’Reilly recently had Richard Dawkins on his show. Did anyone notice that he basically espoused relativism about truth? Here’s the relevant piece of dialog:
“Faith” in God?

The War in Iraq: A Pricey Invoice
Since Bush was re-elected, I have tried to avoid listening to the news and whatnot, because it just pisses me off. It’s always the same deal. Bush did something breathtakingly stupid again, yet no one seems to care. However, I was thinking about how amazing it is that the war in Iraq [...]
