Ohio Candidate Rebukes Keith Olbermann for Calling Him World’s Worst Person

Posted by John Wellington Ennis
David Krikorian has just had one of those weeks where he has gone from local personality to whipping boy, with the stampede of critics that only the blogosphere can bring. Krikorian’s remarks at a campaign event last week with veterans in Clermont County struck one attendee as racially insensitive in how Krikorian referred to [...]

Sarah Palin Encourages Road Rage

Posted by John Wellington Ennis
There was a time when the violence in Hip Hop lyrics drew condemnation from, actually, a lot of the outraged moralists who seem drawn to Sarah Palin’s hypocritical spell.  Perhaps because she similarly mangles language with malevolence in such a visceral way. On Saturday, Sarah Palin urged her supporters to “stop” cars with Obama stickers and [...]

Is Bruno Worse For Gays Than Perez Hilton?

Posted by John Wellington Ennis
I am sorry to hear that GLAAD has condemned Sacha Baron Cohen’s alter-ego Bruno as a setback for the depiction of homosexuals in popular culture. I do wish to be respectful of others’ feelings on this complicated issue and acknowledge my own place as a hetero sympathizer and onlooker. Throughout the film Bruno, we see [...]

I’m Sorry, Right Wing Extremists

Posted by John Wellington Ennis
When I wrote my piece “What Right Wing Threat?” I might have anticipated some humorless criticism from an offended individual, outraged that I might diminish yesterday’s shooting at the Holocaust Museum by joking: “He was there to try to shoot the actual Holocaust…the Holocaust started it; this was simply self-defense.” The response I got was not [...]

What Right Wing Threat?

Posted by John Wellington Ennis
Right-wing threats in America? Hasn’t the media jumped the gun, or shark, so to speak? James W. Von Brunn wasn’t shooting at Jews at the Holocaust Museum because he was anti-Semitic. He was there to try to shoot the actual Holocaust, under the mistaken impression he could stop it still and make up for [...]

Obama’s Coup in Cairo

Posted by John Wellington Ennis
For all of the analysis, parsing, and knee-jerking from Obama’s address to the Muslim world, there was one detail that seemed to bypass the pundits. Obama acknowledged the U.S. role in the 1953 coup of Iran, when the CIA worked to overthrow a democratically-elected secular leader, Mohammad Mossadegh. This isn’t fringe conspiracy theory, this [...]
