Provolone vs. Cheese Wiz

I like provolone on my cheesesteaks, but Joey Vento, the cheesesteak proprietor who wants his customers to speak English, has a strange preference for Cheese Wiz. Yuck!

Statue fatwa

Egypt's highest level cleric issued a fatwa against statues.

Because of this, a woman walked into an art museum and destroyed a bunch of statues because she said it was her duty as a good Muslim.

Are the historical treasures of ancient Egypt safe?

Liberals say "it's not fair that so many of the rightful treasures of Egypt are owned by the Metropolitan Museum of Art," but I say that they are a lot safer here in New York City than they are in Egypt. The Taliban destroyed so much of the ancient art of Afghanistan, and Egypt might be next.

Are pay music downloading services a rip-off?

I say yes. Downloading a CD costs $10, which is usually only slightly less than buying a new CD. But instead of getting full CD quality music that you can freely "rip" to your computer and make unlimited copies, you get an inferior quality music file with "digital rights management" (DRM) which means you can't even make as many copies as you want.

Considering that direct downloading eliminates the cost of manufacturing, warehousing, shipping, and handling, and also cuts out the middleman, you should only pay half the price of a CD for a full CD quality file with no DRM, and maybe only a quarter of the price for a lower quality file with DRM.

The Muslims among us

I think that Michelle Malkin is right that too many Americans just don't get the threat that Muslims living amoung us pose. The newspapers are already playing down the Canadian Muslim terrorist bust story. I still remember reading the original New York Times story and it didn't even mention that the terrorists were Muslim. That's the most important part of the story! The media doesn't want us to know the truth about Islam.

Thoughts on the marriage amendment

Until like 10 years ago, no one even thought that marriage meant anything else than a man and a woman committing to live their life together. But since then, the powerful homosexual movement, which has penetrated Hollywood and the media, has convinced a too large percentage of Americans that it's not fair that homosexuals can't get married. In fact they <i>can</i> get married - to a member of the opposite sex just like everyone else!

I like the idea of President Bush's proposal to ammend the Constitution, because we know that the federal judiciary is full of liberals, and who knows when they may find some new "right" in the Constitution that the Founders never intended to be there? Unfortunately, the amendment has no chance of passing because Congress has too many liberal Democrats who don't care about the morals of America.

Ann Coulter says liberals are godless

I just learned that Ann Coulter has a new book out, and it's called Godless: The Church of Liberalism. Living in New York City, I can confirm that indeed most of the people around here are godless. The book sure has liberals very angry so I guess there must be something in there worthwhile!
