Reformed Chicks Blabbing

They are tired of being pushed around and are taking their security in their own hands: In the five years since the Anglo-American invasion of 2003, murders and abductions have driven about half of the 800,000 Christians who once lived in Iraq to flee the country. Checkpoints manned by civilians armed with heavy machine guns…

That may not happen even if Obama is president: Iraq is a sovereign country. Not just according to me, but according to George Bush and John McCain. So ultimately our presence there is at their invitation, and their policy decisions have to be taken into account. I also think that Maliki recognizes that they’re going…

Uh-oh! Male vegans and those who are lactose intolerant might want to avoid soy if they’re trying to have children: “What we found was men that consume the highest amounts of soy foods in this study had a lower sperm concentration compared to those who did not consume soy foods,” said Dr. Jorge Chavarro of…

Pretty funny take by Colbert on the Lambeth Conference: if they want authoritarian rule to keep their bishop’s in place, why not just return to the Catholic church?(via)BTW, if you don’t know what’s been going on with the Lambeth Conference, you can find out from Lauren Winner at Casting Stones.

It seems that Obama has a history of promising support and not delivering (here’s another broken promise): He told the assembled press, local politicians (who included current Kenyan Prime Minister Raila Odinga), and students: “Hopefully I can provide some assistance in the future to this school and all that it can be.” He then turned…

A seminarian stole Obama’s note to God that he stuck in the Wailing Wall and then it was published. Don’t you think that such a total lack of respect and an understanding of the sacredness of the Wall would cause his expulsion from the seminary? Why in the world would he violate Obama’s privacy? For…

With the country experiencing inflation, high gas prices, foreclosures and failing banks, this is how the Congress spends its time? On what Rep. Lamar Smith calls an “anger management session?” Why waste the time when they aren’t going to impeach him? Because the Democrats are all style and no substance, they would rather play to…

Sorry, I’m not buying it: But scratch the surface, and you’ll find a lot of mixed feelings behind the Obama “love.” Reporters are grumbling more and more that the campaign is acting like the Prom Queen. They gripe that it is “arrogant” and “control[ling],” and the campaign’s own belief that Obama is poised to make…

It’s amazing how the demands of the consumers lead to the death and destruction of others. Who knew that the toy you bought your kids for Christmas would lead to conflict in war ravaged Africa? The metal used in components found in many of the electronic devices that we use everyday is mined in Congo…

According to a German broadcasting station (oh, and for those of you who enjoy the fallacy of poisoning the well, here’s a preemptive strike). I wonder if he set up a special protest zone? Even Communist China is allowing protesters to express themselves in special protest zones. I know this will probably upset the commenters…
