TALK OF AN IRAQ WAR RILES BRITONS
This article is written in a clearly anti-American point of view of a coming war with Iraq with a lot of unnecessary insulting comments reported. The article leaves an entirely different impression of the demonstration than I received Saturday on InstaPundit.
TIMES COLUMNIST TOO STUPID TO UNDERSTAND POLLING
Here's another columnist at a large American newspaper who doesn't understand statistically-correct polling. The Los Angeles Times columnist, Steve Lopez, leads the column with his stupidity. The first two paragraphs are quoted below:
"National polls, some of which suggest 70% of Americans support a war against Iraq, are not to be trusted. Roughly 75% of the readers of this column are opposed, and that many people can't be wrong.
Twice now I've raised questions about the wisdom of such an undertaking, and several hundred people have backed me up."
New York Times' columnists have been making comments like this for some time now.
STYLE CAN UPSTAGE SUBSTANCE IN HOLLYWOOD SECESSION
Here's another "news" article in the L.A. Times about secession in Los Angeles. Of course, the Times belittles those involved in Hollywood's secession plan. Again, I'm certain the L.A. Times gives secession this type of coverage, because Hollywood and Valley secession would destroy the L.A. Times' circulation.
BILLIE JEAN KING WONDERS WHY EDUCATORS DON'T ENCOURAGE GIRLS TO PLAY SPORTS
Billie Jean King wrote an opinion piece that appeared in the L.A. Times. Clearly playing tennis is now a career path to having opinions published.
Ms. King argues that girls should be encouraged just as much as boys to play sports. Near the end of her opinion piece, King asks, "So why are teachers and coaches not doing this? Why aren't our educational leaders encouraging girls to play sports?" Ms. King is obviously unfamiliar with the American public schools' agenda of crushing interest and desire in sports, since sports can only lead to low self-esteem and competitive behavior that does not meet the standards of socialism.
BUM FIGHT VIDEOS SPARK OUTCRY
I admit I'm fascinated by the BumFights.com website and video. A group of young men paid homeless people with small amounts of money and alcohol to fight each other and injure themselves on video. It's estimated that 300,000 copies of the video have sold at $19.95. Well, one of the young men has finally been charged with a felony for allegedly soliciting the violent acts.
There are no pictures on the L.A. Times website, which is too bad. The photograph of the homeless man with "BUMFIGHT" and a beer bottle tattooed on his forehead in the paper edition is absolutely priceless.
