Liberal Talk Radio

Redemption? Not on your Sunday Styles section! “What Men Want: Neanderthal TV”:
Gary A. Randall, a producer who helped create “Melrose Place,” is developing a show called “Paradise Salvage,” about two friends who discover a treasure map, for Spike TV. He said the proliferation of antisocial protagonists came from a concerted effort by networks to channel [...]

In 1957 an entire car was buried in Tulsa Oklahoma. In 2007, it will be unearthed:
The 1957 Belvedere is underground next to the Tulsa County Courthouse. Also buried with it were five gallons of gas and a case of beer.
Old news reports indicate the gas was buried in case internal combustion engines became obsolete [...]

Stanley Williams was executed last night.
I suppose this is as good a time as any to say that I’m not opposed to the death penalty in theory. If someone violates the social contract, we’ve got to take ‘em out. Cull the herd, if you will, to keep it healthy. I do have [...]

[Saddam] defied orders to keep the court’s location secret, mentioning that he was in the former Baath Party headquarters in Baghdad’s Green Zone. Protesting the exertions visited on him by American guards, he offered more [...]
