Most Americans, according to the media, accept Obama’s alleged place of birth as Hawaii and his US citizenship. Many, though, especially in “tea party” circles, express frustration with his seeming lack of “transparency,” want to see more than the short-form birth certificate posted on the internet, and ask questions like: “Where do...

Well, BHO is up his usual nonsense. I just finished watching his address to Congress. I did not see the first part of it; I was cleaning my guns (no, really!). The last 45 minutes was quite enlightening, though. First of all, I propose we bestow BHO with title of "Great Communicator". Even I began to believe what he was saying (not really!). He is certainly eloquent. I can see why people fawn all over him. No real substance, but it's presented in an idiot-friendly way. I did take away a few things from his speech. He is...

The end count did nothing to change the confusing political picture that emerged on Tuesday night, or resolve a potentially paralysing dispute between the two main parties over who should rightfully head the next government. Former premier Netanyahu was unlikely to drop the claim he has made since Tuesday's vote that he, not Livni, should be given the first chance to form a coalition government, because...

First there was "On Bullshit," a slim philosophical treatise whose phenomenal success took the publishing industry by surprise. Then came a succession of books with the word "bullshit" in the title. And now there is "On Truth," a sequel to "On Bullshit" that its author, Princeton University philosophy professor Harry Frankfurt says is meant to plug an analytical gap in his first book -- why does truth matter?

"It's, in a way, enriching," Phares told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review for Wednesday's editions. "Sea lions are very smart animals, and painting keeps their minds active." It took three months to get the animal to hold a paint brush and touch the bristles to paper. Phares...
