It is interesting how even this guy’s name starts with “D” like the one we all know and love. This isn’t the first time I’ve heard about Dinesh D’Souza but this blog didn’t pay him attention because he hadn’t done anything attention-worthy except spinning
writing a now-famous paean on the glories of American democracy.
But now he [...]

The title of this post I think, is pretty cool. One can write a novel titled thus. Imagine, what a bestseller it’d make: Annie Sobs Again…
What I’m talking about instead is about our bleeding heart Annie whom this blog had covered earlier. Her heart bleeds for street children. Again.
One of the concern that events at [...]

The Pioneer stands out as a differing voice from among the vast muck of the Indian secular media, which has mostly prostituted itself to the Congress party.

It’s time I switched my career and became an astrologer. Barely two days have elapsed since my prediction, and it has come true.
There was clear evidence that there could be tension on Sunday and yet the state administration reacted in a leaden manner. On January 19 evening, when people marching to a rally, organised [...]

This timely Pioneer edit exposes the party of the aam aadmi and its various bedmates. This is really, the party of the elite, the social-reformers, the visualizers of a just society, high on scotch and fine whisky after a hard day’s visit to rotten places like Vidarbha and the Mumbai slums.

A 12-year-old boy was killed and over 22 others were injured when police opened fire on an angry mob which had gone on a rampage burning several vehicles, pelting stones and closing shops in the Shivaji Nagar area of Bangalore on Sunday. The condition of [...]

The Verbal Terrorist claims she’s “not stupid.” That, one should give her credit for. It takes tremendous ingenuity to peddle monumental crap consistently, year after year, and yet win award after award (read $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$).
