What happened to the old Hollywood?

If, inexplicably, one might want to vicariously experience what it’s like to be simultaneously sodomized and vomited on in, say, the shallower reaches of a Timbuktu sewage ditch—while sampling some of that torrid “taproom’s” suspect slurry—go see the movie “Get Him to the Greek,” or even “MacGruber,” for that matter.

DC Tea Party

It’s a bright, warm and picturesque day on the west lawn of the Capitol, Saturday, March 20—the kind of irenic conditions perfect for a lazy family picnic or an old timers’ baseball game.

POLITICS: Today’s Democratic leadership is a predictable lot. They’ve cornered the market on mass manipulation through semantic tinkering. It’s a relatively easy code to crack. To decipher what Democrats mean versus what they say one need merely apply the “forked tongue test.”

KSM: Terrorist but what else?

"What is an “Enemy Combatant”? Defining the term has confounded two White House administrations.  In 2004, the Bush people held the Combatant Status Review Tribunal (CRST) at Guantánamo Bay to determine if the prisoners could be qualified as “enemy combatants”.    Previously, enemy combatants were the soldiers belonging to the army of an enemy, but many of the prisoners in Guantánamo Bay are citizens of countries that have good relations with the United States, like KSM who is originally from Kuwait, and are not part of their national army. Whither the definition and where does it go from here?
