In case you haven't noticed, V For Vendetta is currently being played and replayed on HBO. I first saw this flick last summer (at the library so I didn't pay) and thought it was hilarious in its simple caricatures of EVIL conservatives. However, now that I have the luxury of watching over and over again on HBO, I am noticing things that sort of escaped me when I viewed it the first time. First of all is the ENORMOUS self-righteous chip on the shoulder this movie displays. Also how the hell did one man, V, manage to fake the incarceration...

Press release of another First Amendment freak show.... It’s working. We are making good use of the powerful concept of en masse activist resistance used in the movie, “V for Vendetta.” “V” is helping us as we build support for the unalienable Right to a Response from Government to our Petitions for Redress of Grievances regarding the Government’s violation of the war powers, tax, privacy and money clauses of the Constitution. “V” is helping us as we educate the public about the First Amendment’s guarantee of our Right to Petition Government for Redress of Grievances. On November 6, 2006, a...

Chapter & worse Book finds plenty to rip Rudy for on 9/11 BY DAVID SALTONSTALL DAILY NEWS SENIOR CORRESPONDENT Former Mayor Rudy Giuliani is taking a lot of hits in a new book about 9/11. Rudy Giuliani's image as America's Mayor is harshly questioned in a new book that takes to task the city's preparedness on 9/11 - with some of the most pointed criticism coming from current Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly. Kelly, who was dismissed from the post by Giuliani in 1993 and later reappointed by Mayor Bloomberg, offers several dramatic and remarkable observations in "Grand Illusion: The Untold...

Universal Press Syndicate issued a statement this afternoon saying it might look into the plagiarism allegations against Ann Coulter in two possible ways. "We'll see what we can find on our own," said Kathie Kerr, the syndicate's director of communications, noting that Universal would use the information referenced in Sunday's New York Post article. That story quoted John Barrie, creator of the iThenticate plagiarism-probing system, who said he had easily found several examples of alleged plagiarism in Coulter's new "Godless" book and in her Universal columns from the past year. Several blogs had earlier found these and other examples. Kerr...

Columnist Don Feder has viewed the new shaved-Natalie Portman movie, "V for Vendetta," and he is not a fan, as he reports for Front Page Magazine: "V for Vendetta," which opened on Friday, combines all of the celluloid left’s paranoid fantasies – Christian conservatives in charge of a brutal regime, the war-on-terrorism as an excuse for the suppression of civil liberties, homosexuals harassed and killed by conservative Christians, a pedophile priest (who works miter-in-hand with the regime) and an attack blamed on terrorists that’s really a right-wing conspiracy. All that’s missing is a Halliburton connection. For that, we’ll have to...

If you liked the politics of last weekend's Oscar nominees, you'll love "V for Vendetta." But if you're like the rest of America--you support our troops and believe in firmly responding to terrorists on our own shores--then, don't waste your time at this piece of garbage masquerading as a superhero movie. It is anything but. If the other political films subtly whisper of an agenda, "V" clocks you over the head with it with a still sizzling, iron frying pan. Based on the graphic novel series of the same name, "V" comes complete with all the bogeymen the far left...

As the President struggles to regain his footing, his supporters — and there still are a few — wonder why his job approval rating is so low. The economy is in good shape, home ownership is up, gas prices are coming down, we haven't suffered a terrorist attack in our country for four years, and our military might toppled a terrorist regime in a matter of weeks. Besides showing off their ability to make sows ears out of silk purses, why are the Democrats so compelled to attack, not only the President's policies, but his character, as well, by accusing...

Jury-decreed marriage: Groom lets friends rape his bride MULTAN: In an act of revenge, a woman was gang-raped with the consent of her in-laws by three people on her wedding night in Dera Ghazi Khan, police said. Ghulam Hussain, the father of the victim Kaneez Kubra, told reporters that his daughter was married to Mujahid Hussain on April 28, as ordered by a panchayat (local jury) under the wani custom since Kaneez’s brother Abdul Majid had sexual relations with Mujahid’s sister Sumera. After the wedding, Kaneez Kubra went to the groom’s home. Her husband stayed with her in their room...

Linda Vester is currentlly interviewing Chad Clanton, described as a 'senior Kerry campaign advisor.' Discussing the plans of the Sinclair broadcasting group to air "Stolen Honor," the documentary about Kerry's Vietnam war service, Clanton stated: "They [Sinclair] better hope that we're not elected." Vester immediately asked if that was intended as a threat to Sinclair that a Kerry administration would not renew their broadcast licenses. Clanton tried to back off, but the threat was unmistakable. These people are thugs.

Could the whole Niger uranium flap be a planned attack to damage the president? If CIA Clintonista dead-enders wanted to, they could make claims about WMD, nuclear in particular, that later they KNEW would be shown to be fradulent. Then Bush would take the egg in the face.

<p>Relatives of four Army reservists from Pennsylvania who are accused of beating and abusing Iraqi prisoners say they fear their loved ones are targets of a vendetta.</p> <p>They say they believe the four, all military police officers, previously have had run-ins with commanders at the Camp Bucca internment center near Umm Qasr in southern Iraq, and that mismanagement of the camp had sent soldiers' morale into a tailspin.</p>
