    Sunday at 7 p.m., Fox News Channel premieres its antidote to the left-leaning humor of Comedy Central's "The Daily Show With Jon Stewart" and "The Colbert Report" -- a conservative fake news show. Within seconds, liberal viewers will realize why creators of "The 1/2 Hour News Hour" joked that the show's alternative title was "Pissing Off Berkeley."... as often occurs on Fox's "24" -- the other program that " 1/2 Hour" executive producer Joel Surnow presides over -- there's a twist: A lot of the creative energy behind the liberal bashing on "The 1/2 Hour News Hour" originated in Berkeley....

    Huntsville, Ala. – Thomas Abrams, a 22-year-old resident arrested for petty theft Saturday evening for shoplifting several small-value items from a local pharmacy, conducted himself in an equally petty manner when confronted by store employees and police officials following the theft, sources agreed Sunday. “What a jerk that dude was, making all those petty remarks toward employees while the cops were hauling him out of the store,” said Marie Connelly, an employee at the 13th Avenue Walgreens store where Abrams allegedly attempted the petty theft. “Like, for example, when the cops were escorting him down aisle four to take him...

    Vegetation die-off (areas of reddish-brown) in New England observed by NASA satellite, revealing the negative influence of heating oil use on normally healthy vegetation.(Greenbelt, Maryland) A new sensor on a NASA Earth-orbiting satellite has for the first time observed a global-scale die off of vegetation, a new article in Science magazine reports this week. "We were amazed at the continental scale that this die off occupied", said Dr. John Jorgenson of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. The relatively rapid change in vegetation characteristics was observed from late summer through the fall, when the multi-million dollar NASA instrument recorded a distinct...

    Plans are being drawn up to build a £3.3m working replica of the boat that took Charles Darwin around the world at Milford Haven in Pembrokeshire. Fundraising for the project, which would mark the 200th anniversary of Darwin's birth in 2009, is under way. The aim is to built a seaworthy vessel identical to the HMS Beagle on the outside, but with a modern interior. Darwin, who showed how natural selection could explain evolution, sailed on the Beagle between 1831-36. Sitting opposite him on the expedition was mate and surveyor John Lort Stokes. One of Stokes' descendents, Pembrokeshire farmer David...

How many times have you caught one of your women bandying about without its burqa? How many times has an insolent female flashed her ankle by "accident"?

Isn't it time you stopped wasting perfectly good woman flesh and invested in a foolproof coverage system for your females? Now, BurqaBarn, in conjunction with Citywide Waste Management, has a...

    An Israeli cartoon competition to find the "best, sharpest, most offensive Jew-hating cartoons ever published," launched in response to an Iranian daily newspaper's international cartoon contest focusing on the Holocaust, has announced a winner – a "fiddler on the roof" takeoff on September 11. As WorldNetDaily reported, the Iranian newspaper Hamshahri, one of the nation's top five, conceived the Holocaust-themed contest as a response to the Danish paper Jyllands-Posten's solicitation of cartoons depicting Islam's prophet Muhammad, which evoked a violent reaction around the Muslim world. In February, Farid Mortazavi, Hamshahri's graphics editor said the paper intended to turn the tables...

    September 24, 2005 Washington DC Hello from enemy territory! I’m in Washington DC with Peace Mother Sheehan (PMS) where earlier this week we protested at the White House. We marched down Pennsylvania Ave. singing songs of peace, some of us baring our breasts and genitals for peace, others doing bong hits for peace, and quite a few talking on cell phones for peace. Cindy had this great idea to write a letter to President Hayseed demanding the withdrawal of all American troops from all countries, disbanding the military, and prison sentences and sensitivity training for any Christian or Jew who...

    AFFIDAVIT OF JAMES H. DONNER My name is James H. Donner, and I am 19 years old. No one has paid me for these statements. No member of the RNC, no one from the Bush administration, and no one from FreeRepublic.com has solicited this information. For the past three and a half years, I have delivered pizza to the home of Joseph Wilson and Valerie Plame as well as to the homes of many others in the neighborhood. I live on the next street. Everyone in the neighborhood knew that Plame worked for the CIA. It was no secret. Wilson...

    Internet Explorer and Firefox -- even the newest edition that's getting ready for release -- can be spoofed by hackers intent on stealing passwords or other confidential information, a security firm said Tuesday. According to Danish vulnerability tracker Secunia, Microsoft's Internet Explorer, Mozilla's Firefox, and virtually every other popular browser could be used by malicious Web site to display bogus Java dialog boxes atop legitimate sites. "The problem is that JavaScript dialog boxes do not display or include their origin, which allows a new window to open -- a prompt dialog box -- which appears to be from a trusted...

    This is just as good as it gets. TIME Magazine publishes the photo below regarding a protest at the GOP convention in New York. They actually believe that this group of protestors was against President Bush and Ann Coulter. In the photo, the signs held by the Protest Warriors should have given the nitwits a clue. CommunistsforKerry.com is pretty obvious. And the sign in the background about criminals in favor of gun control is like a 2x4 in the side of the head. But they still didn't get it. Demon and Idol Protesters blast Coulter at the G.O.P. Convention in...

    CHESTERFIELD, N.J. (AP) - Contractors working in New Jersey prisons will undergo special training after a skit authorized as part of a drug treatment program for inmates featured a spoof on the Ku Klux Klan. Five employees of the Chicago-based Gateway Foundation Inc., the company whose workers approved the skit, have been fired, and the company has been cautioned that further incidents won't be tolerated, said Matthew Schuman, a spokesman for the state Department of Corrections. "The company was told this better not happen again," he said. Several inmates who took part in the Jan. 6 skit at the Garden...

    New "Nerf" Bomb Promises to be Most Harmless Bomb Ever Deployed The new "Nerf" warhead can strike targets without damaging them. WASHINGTON, DC -- Despite strenuous efforts to avoid civilian casualties, and even the use of non-exploding "concrete bombs", coalition forces still suffered criticism from other nations for those that were killed while liberating Iraq. To avoid this in the future, Pentagon officials today announced the latest weapon in the war on terror - the new "NESO" bomb. NESO, which stands for Non-Explosive Safety Ordnance, is the latest advance in the race to develop weapons that will not piss off...
