The American Library Association has dedicated a site to Banned Books Week – this year Sept 24 through Oct 1. I agree! Read a banned book – the Bible! Read this paragraph from this site: The Bible and The Koran were both removed from numerous libraries and banned from import in the Soviet Union from 1926 to 1956. Many editions of the Bible have also been banned and burned by civil and religious authorities throughout history. Some recent examples: On July 1, 1996, Singapore convicted a woman for possessing the Jehovah’s Witness translation of the Bible. A 2000 US government report reported that Burma (also known as Myanmar) bans all Bible translations into local indigenous languages [...]

**Written by Doug Powers Put Warren Buffett in the “for it before he was against it but still doesn’t seem to mind if his name is on it” category : Billionaire investment guru Warren Buffett, who has become the face of President Obama’s $447 billion jobs-creation legislation, indicated Friday he did not agree with the president’s proposal to raise taxes on millionaires. Buffett said he advocated a tax hike only on what he termed the “ultra-rich,” making a distinction between his suggestion and Obama’s proposal to raise taxes on millionaires. “It isn’t [my idea] to have the rich pay more taxes. It’s to have the ultra-rich pay more,” he said on Bloomberg Television Friday. “It isn’t to have the rich pay more taxes [...]
I wholeheartedly support and endorse the Guardian’s (UK) editorial on the death sentence of Pastor Youssef Nadarkhani. Mohammad Ali Dadkhah, the lawyer who was brave enough to defend him, was himself sentenced to nine years on trumped-up charges this summer. Both these sentences are offences against natural justice. Both were appealed. The supreme court in Tehran last week announced its judgment on one: Mr Nadarkhani might save his life if he publicly renounced Christianity . [...]

One of the chief tics of Obama’s speaking style is a technique I call lying. He likes to say things that will please the public, and demonstrate to them he is looking for a middle path. But after the speech… [...]

That’s the good news. The bad news, of course: It’ll come out of rank-and-file workers’ dues while fat cat Big Labor thugs back in Washington sit clean and pretty in their Taj Mahal headquarters. KOMO News/AP reports (h/t Steve G.): A federal judge has fined a Longshore union $250,000 for its tactics in a Longview labor dispute.

U.S.-Born Qaeda Leader Killed in Yemen Anwar al-Awlaki, the radical American-born cleric who was a leading figure in Al Qaeda’s Yemen affiliate and was considered its most dangerous English-speaking propagandist and plotter, was killed in an American drone strike that deliberately targeted his vehicle on Friday, officials in Washington and Yemen said. They said the strike also killed a radical American colleague traveling with Mr. Awlaki who edited Al Qaeda’s online jihadist magazine. Or, as Ace puts it, Anwar al-Awlaki Killed By Crushing Disappointment in NBC’s Fall Lineup, Drone-Launched Hellfire Missiles, But Mostly Drone-Launched Hellfire Missiles [...]
Growing up in a blue-collar, steel mill town, many of my family were union members. They were – and are – hardworking people, and were just trying to support their families. Unions once played an important role in our nation, having given employees the opportunity to negotiate fair wages and provide safe work environments. But [...]

Gosnell faces multiple murder charges for killing a woman in a failed abortion [...]
Venezuelan blogger Daniel discusses an interesting point: Hugo Chávez’s medical problems serve as a very timely distraction from the chaos and destruction the dictator has sown on the country, and to get sympathy for re-election, I mean, is it not obvious that for a couple of months now he has started using his disease has an electoral card? He has little to show for 12 years of rule. The cancer seems almost a godsend for him as it allows him to play it for the masses as a victim, or a superhero that comes form the grave and what not, incubus included. That it is successful or not is not the issue, but that he manages to distract political discourse from his failures to his diseases is no mean feat. Daniel also raises another interesting point (emphasis added), There is panic inside chavismo [...]
