• Spreading Democracy... or something

  Regardless of whether or not the Bush administration will succeed in its plan to introduce democracy into Iraq through an armed invasion and years of chaotic violence, it now appears that the administration has succeeded in bringing to Iraq something the country has had very little of since the British were kicked out many long decades ago: white supremacists. As the New York Times reports this morning: "We've got Aryan Nations graffiti in Baghdad," the [Southern Poverty Law Center] quoted a D

• OC Family Charging OK City Bombing Cover-Up Wins Lawsuit Against Uncle Sam!

  The family of an Orange County man who died under mysterious circumstances in an Oklahoma federal prison more than a decade ago has just won its lawsuit against the U.S. Justice Department. On March 31, the US District Court for the Western District of Oklahoma ruled that the family of Kenneth Trentadue had suffered severe emotional distress as a result of his bizarre death, which prison officials claim was a suicide-by-hanging. A big part of their stress: seeing the bruises, footprints and oth

• Barbara Coe, Sonny Bono, And the Illuminati

  It must be nigh-impossible for the nicotine-stained brain of California Coalition for Immigration Reform president Barbara Coe to keep up with all the conspiracies (Reconquista, evil Muslims, the Cult of the Two Blue Shoes) she subscribes to. Nevertheless, we always dismissed her efforts and rambles as those of a bitter, hate-filled woman--until this weekend, when we received proof of Coe's beyond-the-pale mind from Babs herself. On April 5, Coe forwarded a story to her group that interviewed o

• Patriot Day vs. Patriots' Day Smackdown

  Since 2002, September 11 has been celebrated as Patriot Day to honor the memory of the nearly 3,000 who died in the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. Patriot Day is a catchier title than what the day was originally called, the National Day of Prayer and Remembrance for the Victims of the Terrorist Attacks on September 11, 2001. But Patriot Day still musters up confusion considering America already celebrates Patriots’ Day, which is sometimes spelled Patriot’s Day or Patriots Day. That Patriots’ D

• When the Going Gets Tough, the Rick Warren Scandal Gets Weird

  MSNBC's Rachel Maddow has today's best assessment of the Rick Warren-Barack Obama invocation dust up: "Not only is it getting worse, it's getting weirder."Yesterday, there was Pastor Wiley Drake of First Baptist Church in Buena Park demonizing Warren's participation in the Jan. 20 inauguration of our "evil illegal alien" president-elect, saying God will punish Drake's fellow Southern Baptist preacher Warren.Wacky fundies who have been critical of Warren's social agendizing Christianity for years

• MADD Has Become "a Tastless Joke," According to Study Author

  You were told here about a study published in the Californian Journal of Health Promotion that argues California should lower its drinking age for beer and wine to 18 and set up a system of low-alcohol bars. Mike Males, the study's author and senior researcher at the San Francisco-based Center on Juvenile and Criminal Justice, based that finding on statistical analysis that suggests such a move would reduce violent deaths among 18-20 year-olds by 9 percent.

  ​On March 31, 2008, Salt Lake City attorney Jesse Trentadue won an unprecedented legal victory over the FBI in his years-old lawsuit to force the agency to hand over everything it has on the mysterious death of his brother, former Westminster resident Kenneth Trentadue. That day, the US District Court for the Western District of Oklahoma ruled that Trentadue and other family members had suffered severe emotional distress as a result of Kenneth's bizarre death at the Federal Transfer Center nea

• Ranking Owl City Among Rock's Most Egregious Ripoffs

  Pamela Littky​There are many reasons to dislike Owl City, the electro tweepop project spearheaded by Owatonna, Minnesota 23-year-old Adam Young. For one thing the moniker is horrible. You can name yourself after a town or a continent - say, Boston or Chicago or Europe - but you can't name yourself after a city with the word "City" in the title. That's why there are no bands named "New York City" or "Oklahoma City." The fact that it's a pretend city makes it worse.
