The Internet has made human memory obsolete. Therefore, with regard to education, as Tom Lehrer put it, "the important thing is to understand what you're doing, rather than to get the right answer." |

New take from WND: Obama's birth certificate actually proves his ineligibility for holding the office of president. |

Hawaii's bureaucrats don't do their paper work in order, therefore Obama's birth certificate is a fake. Bonus crazy: Corsi wants records to show that Obama's mother was in the hospital at the time he was born there. The fact that Corsi has a vested interest in keeping his book "Where's the Birth Certificate: The Case That Barack Obama Is Not Eligible to Be President" valid, is purely coincidental. |

Got at least a spare $700 lying around? Then how about joining WND's fun-filled 7-day Alaska cruise? Warning: It hasn't even sailed yet, and is already being called the worst vacation ever. |

William Rivers Pitt confesses a dirty little secret: he previously adhered to the erroneous, simplistic viewpoint that people should be punished for breaking the law. Now he thinks that if the crime was "patriotic" enough, the criminal should be commended instead. |

Once again, David Brooks manages to wildly contradict himself within one of his columns. In his 21 April column -- ostensibly a review of the Broadway musical The Book of Mormon -- he first writes that "religion itself can do enormous good as long as people take religious teaching metaphorically and not literally". Then -- two paragraphs later -- he writes "The religions that grow, succor and motivate people to perform heroic acts of service are usually theologically rigorous, arduous in practice and definite in their convictions about what is True and False." So, which is it, Dave? |

American Stinker serves up some warmed over John Birch: The UN is one step closer to imposing one world religion! For proof, they cite a Christian preacher who thinks that "the brotherhood of man" is a satanic communist notion. |

Prof. Henry A. Giroux: "Many faculty (have) retreated into academic specializations and an arcane language that made them irrelevant to the task of defending the university as a public good." Unfortunately, he still seems to be laboring under the delusion that he is not one of these. |

Garrett Epps of The Nation: Right-wing American exceptionalists are stealing the U.S. Constitution, which was the first written national constitution in Western history. (He was only off by about two centuries.) |

Deniosphere response to a botched prediction made by the UNEP about "climate refugees" (an area with little empirical research): AGW is a hoax! Sea levels aren't rising! UN debunked! Hot air from Al Gore! Another final nail in the AGW coffin, cover-up, SCIENTIFIC FRAUD! Deniosphere response to better established predictions coming true: Cricket, cricket. |

S&P threatens to downgrade the U.S.'s debt rating because it might not pay its debt. The U.S. could pay its debt, by inflating the dollar into oblivion. Therefore, S&P is conspiring to crush Social Security. |

Judging by this video and this TV commercial, it seems that Canada now has its own version of the Moral Majority and that they are out to shake up the national elections on May 2 the way that Jerry Falwell did in the U.S. for Ronald Reagan. |

"‘Gay’ is a left-wing socio-political construct designed to create grounds for fundamental rights [based on] whimsical capricious desires;" right-thinking persons should use more politically correct terms, such as "unnatural vice" or "anti-Christian." |

The Supreme Court has exonerated a DA's office that covered up evidence in a murder case. But that isn't important. What's important is that the alleged murderer was black, ergo, Justice Clarence Thomas is a flaming racist with deep-seated psychological issues. |

The Minnesota Women's Press reports that women are sometimes treated like dogs, e.g., when advertising is allowed to exist. A "human-rights advocate" objects to this, on the grounds that it is offensive to use the words "woman" and "dog" in the same sentence under any circumstances. |

Just because a faith healer fails to heal you, doesn't mean you lack faith. Oh no, it's because God wants to "humble you, keep you dependent on Him or to just simply bring us closer to Him." |
