Harvard Faculty: No Confidence in President CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — Harvard's Faculty of Arts and Sciences passed a no-confidence vote against President Lawrence Summers (search) on Tuesday, the latest setback for the embattled university leader who has come under fire for his managerial style and comments on women in science. Whether what Summers said was factual or not is immaterial. Summers made the mistake of making statements that were not certified by the PC Commissars in control...

Nobody said these Aztlan-loving, Che-worshipping fuckfaces were intelligent. Somebody should have told this retard that Tucson, AZ, where this picture was taken, did not become a part of the United States due to the Mexican-American War. The land south of the Gila River in Arizona (last time I was there the river was dry) was purchased by the US from Mexico in the Gadsden Purchase in 1853. The deal was worth $10 million. And someone should tell this intellectual lightweight that ...

Yahoo News: Opposition Launches Protest in Beirut Monday's protest easily topped a pro-government rally of hundreds of thousands of people last week by the Shiite Muslim militant group Hezbollah. That show of strength forced the opposition to try to regain its momentum . I became somewhat interested in Lebanon a little over 14 years ago. For one of my majors in college I was required to take two semesters of a non-European language. Since the US was involved in a little somethi...

The population of Iraq in 1991 was approximately 18 million. The quoted figures state that 7,000 Iraqis (5000 of them children) were dying a month as a result.

From the San Francisco Chronicle View the story here Two former employees of the Gorilla Foundation, home to Koko the "talking" ape, have filed a lawsuit contending that they were ordered to bond with the 33-year-old female simian by displaying their breasts. Nancy Alperin and Kendra Keller, both of San Francisco, are taking on the Woodside nonprofit and its president, Francine "Penny" Patterson.

In a number of conversations and message boards I've been a party to, I've noticed that time and time again left-wingers, anxious to portray America or her Allies as history's ultimate terrorists, have of late taken up Depleted Uranium munitions as one of their new outrages. Hell, it even comes complete with its own scary word: uranium . It evokes horrible memories of Hiroshima and Chernobyl. For a propagandist , this may have the potential to presented as the next Agent Orange; perhaps e...

Israel's barriers with the Gaza Strip and the West Bank have been quite successful in stemming the infiltration of Palestinian attackers. There are varying estimates for the per-mile cost of the wall*, but I'll settle on $2 million dollars a mile. The border between the United States and Mexico is about 2000 miles long. For the sake of this article, I'll give some leeway for some additional inefficiency and suggest the wall costs $3 million per mile to build on the US-Mexican border. ...

we're here to fight the infidels ." Normally I wouldn't link to such a left-wing source, but I thought they pointed out something interesting. Of course the Guardian feels obliged to give the most interview time with the most sympathetic figure, who is at least an Iraqi. Read what a foreign terrorist has to say: "...Abu Ossama from Tunisia. 'We are here for one of two things - victory or martyrdom, and both are great,' he said. 'The most important thing is our religion,...
