NY Times rumor mill: Beck/Fox divorce?
David Carr over at the New York Times is doing his best to tabloid up the aging paper of record. He's gone diving into the rumor mill, citing unnamed sources who claim that Beck and Fox may decide not to renew at the end of the current contract. As Scott Baker from The Blaze put it, Carr's 'hypothetical musings' will certainly excite the left and cause relentless speculation around the blogosphere. Check out The Blaze for Baker's take on the story and the Times rumor piece.
The Lessons Being Taught By BYU in the Brandon Davies Case Are Bigger Than Basketball or Any Sport
BYU made headlines last week for suspending one of their star players for violating their honor code by engaging in premarital sex with his girlfriend. While social networking sites like Twitter condemn the decision, Glenn had a different opinion. "As painful as this is for Davies, the rest of his Cougar teammates and their fans right now, BYU is doing something far more important than winning basketball games here, they are teaching important lessons, holding firm to their values, and preparing students for LIFE after school," Glenn writes. You can read more on the story HERE and read Glenn's opinion on the suspension HERE.
Amazing new video of 9/11 attacks: The shocking events as seen from an NYPD chopper – WATCH. | | |  | | | | Jesse Jackson Jr. demands iPods for 'ghetto' kids
Jesse Jackson Jr. made it clear on the House floor that he is in desperate need of a visit from the logic fairy. He rambled on and on about how the only way to solve the unemployment crises is to change the Constitution and make housing (and a host of other ridiculous things, like iPods) a right. Think of all the jobs that would create, if everyone MUST own a home! Junior, of course, is forgetting one key component: who the heck is going to pay for that? Maybe we could ask the Chinese to loan us more money! Watch the make-Mao-proud rant HERE.
Oil prices continue to necessarily skyrocket
Oil prices jumped to $107 amid the continued chaos in Libya and throughout the Middle East, and it is still unclear just how long this will go on and how bad it will get. Obama is already considering doing what President Bush (rightfully) did NOT do: panic and tap into the strategic oil reserves. Obama's oil policies (better described as 'anti' oil policies) don't make much sense - unless you recall the President's own words: he wants oil prices to skyrocket. Get the latest on oil HERE.
Obamacare: 1,000 waivers and climbing
If Obamacare is so awesome, why are people crowding in line to get an exemption from it? The 1,000 waivers blankets approximately 2.6 million people across the country - including some groups (SEIU) who lobbied heavily for the bill. Why are so many people being granted the waiver? Get the latest HERE.
No Hell: Was John Lennon half right?
An influential evangelical pastor is coming out with a new book that the publisher (HarperOne) explains in this way: "[In Love Wins] Bell addresses one of the most controversial issues of faith — the afterlife — arguing that a loving God would never sentence human souls to eternal suffering. With searing insight, Bell puts hell on trial, and his message is decidedly optimistic — eternal life doesn't start when we die; it starts right now. And ultimately, Love Wins. What if the story of heaven and hell we have been taught is not, in fact, what the Bible teaches? What if what Jesus meant by heaven, hell, and salvation are very different from how we have come to understand them?" Is this just spin to sell books? Or does he really believe no one goes to Hell? Check out the report and you decide... | | | | | |
