Western media are lying Osama Bin Laden’s burial
Posted on May 2, 2011 | 7 CommentsTwitter is going berserk over Osama Bin Laden’s death – not least because of his speedy sea burial, which CNN ensured us “was handled in keeping with Muslim customs.” (CNN.com) Which is interesting – because I couldn’t help but wonder how Muslims, who are like... -
Arming Libyan rebels, are you mad?
Posted on April 1, 2011 | 1 CommentIf I were old enough to remember it, I’d be saying: This sounds a lot like when we armed Saddam, or the Taliban, or installed the Shah, or supported Mubarak, or Zardari. It’s sheer lunacy! We all know the adage ‘one man’s terrorist is another... -

Posted on December 14, 2010 | 2 CommentsGet ready ladies – this pugnacious intellectual rapscallion is on the prowl. Take a look at the guy, does anything about him say “I can overpower and have my way with two women”? No. Nor does his OkCupid dating profile. Nor does the redacted police... -
Why rats and people become smack addicts
Posted on December 9, 2010 | 1 CommentTo research the addictiveness of smack (heroin), researchers put rats in cold, isolated little cages, jam a cannula in their brain to feed them methadone and then measure how much they press the ‘make me high’ button.
