The Rogue General rocks. Really. Look at all the accolades he’s getting from the media. Inhouse terrorist-sympathizers and from his own country’s media (they won’t do otherwise).
But his million-forked tongue is ever vigilant. Truly, a man for all seasons. He keeps everyone happy. The Big Bush Boss, our Puppet Prime Minister and his ever-reliable [...]
Dilip D’Souza, bleeding-heart liberal recounts his experiences on a train journey where he saw only poverty. And says that 15 years of liberalisation has not helped reduce Indian poverty; that claims to the contrary are mere figures invented quoted by the proponents of free market capitalism.
And if you look at their figures, you will [...]
The Acorn briefly weighs the proposed Communal Violence Suppression bill that the Congress mouthpiece, Indian Express, published on April 23. His byline reads, Do it, but do it without the army. I contend that while this is a sensible stand, it is more appropriate to try to discern why this bill was proposed, and what [...]

And the reauthorization debate offers another important opportunity as well—the chance to blunt one of the most important implements in the anti–law enforcement tool chest: the “slippery slope” [...]

The introductory lines in this article says it all.

Head over to JK who says,
Then suddenly some other Commies realized that a) People were working hard and earning a living b) This means they are being exploited.
Priceless.
Clap clap clap.
Kuldip Nayar has returned! I’ve resorted to some cheap name-calling in the past as regards this moron (oops!) venerable journalist and I’m really feeling guilty. But lest you blame me, he returns for more. Take the present article. Before I talk about the specifics, a small sidetrack.
