In an interview, exiled Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal says the Palestinians' struggle will continue until the Israeli occupation ends

Look how twisted Salon's lead is here. It casts Palestinians as victims who struggle against an evil oppressor. It calls a terrorist an exiled leader, as though he were Moses.

The Der Spiegel interview, by contrast, calls a spade a spade.

This shows the difference between journalism, and the amateur blog that has become Salon.com

Is why do we need it at all?

There is no shortage of food production today. There is no need for GM. What we are doing is shaping nature to conform to our legal system. That is patently (sic) absurd. We don't know the dangers. And the motive is purely profit.

I tend to think that nothing less than a revolution will be the outcome, as the current state apparatus is a puppet of corporations like Monsanto yet the people roundly despise these outcomes. When the gov. and the people are at extreme odds, that is when sparks can fly.

We all know women are emotional creatures. They cannot be expected to work at a job that is not fullfilling merely to contribute an equal amount financially. But let's not undervalue the emotional committment the wife makes to their partnership. Surely you can pay a restaurant tab with her critical-yet-undying (until-divorce) love for him? Is there no gas station in town that will let you fill up on a wife's soul-nurturing job satisfaction? I bet you can get something for that on ebay, right?

See, feminists say that men and women are equal, which means that women have the right to do whatever they please and contribute half of that income to overall expenses after they take care of their $5 lattes, extra pairs of shoes, "me time" expenses and whatever else Oprah entitled them to that week. It's kind of a high-deductible progressive welfare system for females.

But, you know, this lawyer out to appreciate the free labor she will contribute. As the wife of a doctor friend of mine explained to me, "[He] is a bank. Someone has to spend it."

P.S. I would love to see how long this marriage lasts if lawyer big bucks quit his job to become a back country tour guide or novelist.

P.P.S. Since divorce courts will take half of his income and give it to her, as well as half of the assets he mostly paid for, plus their home, she has the upper hand in this negotiation. That is "fairness" is feminized America today.

There is a pure double standard. I have witnessed the 60+ woman CEO kiss her 20-something underling/boyfriend at a board meeting, and comment how she liked how he blushed. This is fact. Do you think anything will ever be made of that? No. People laugh.

Further, can we ask what this girl was wearing? Trendy clothes for 24 year old women are hard to decipher from hooker's garb even for young guys, let alone a man from the great generation. Calling her back and ogling her would be a fair public reprimand. And yet, to even ask what she is wearing is considered beyond the pale. Why? Yet again, a double standard. A woman has the right to dress like a slut, but HOW DARE A MAN LOOK! If you don't look you're a boring asexual nice guy who earns her scorn and she can make snide remarks behind your back. If you do, you get sued.

Overall, it's a pure game of bullshit. And it's most often used against the weakest man in the room. It just happens that Shaeffer is too old to give a shit anymore, and probably too powerful, too. So he can do what most men dare not do in a feminist-run world and call a spade a spade.

Although I personally despise his tax policy, find his political game loathsome, and don't respect the man himself (he's a kook), I can respect the fact that he snubbed the hypocritical mores shoved up our ass by the feminist fucks. For that, old man, kudos. Keep looking.

It's the system, stupid. The bad apples are the fruits of deregulation and the corruption of government by corporate moles planted their to destroy oversight. It began with Reagan. When will it end?

It would make total sense. But that is not reality, at least in New York State. The alimony laws are left over from another time, and they are used wickedly by attorneys working for divorced women. Really, it's a bloodsport. A man can get skinned alive.

I mean, she *is* gonna cash in on all the publicity she's generated for herself here, isn't she?

I love how they resort to ad hominem high-school insults for those with whom they disagree.

I love how they know we are (a) uneducated (b) homosexual (c) ugly (d) misogynist (e) etc.

I love how *passionate* they are in their hatred and convictions (insert requisite T.S. Elliot quote here)

I love how they are too cheap to *pay* for a Salon subscription

I love how comfortable they are in the midst of their sanctimonious herd (insert requisite Nietzsche quote here)

I love how they claim to be men

So, with apologies ...

Give me your tired, your poor,

Your huddled masses yearning to seethe free,

The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

Send these, the thoughtless, tempest-tost to me,

I lift my lamp beside the garbage door!

Broadsheet also attacks animal rights groups. Give me a PETA girl any day. I'm not interested in udders, but there is something sexy about a group that actually stands for something, instead of just attacking others.
