GOOD NEWS:

[RIGHT: The smiling, satisfied face of one of the Mumbai terrorists.]

In yet another sign of success in Iraq, 18 female suicide bombers associated with al-Qaeda have turned themselves in to coalition forces.

In the U.S., deportations of illegal immigrants have increased, with nearly 350,000 illegals sent packing through Sept., 2008, compared to 174,000 in the same period in 2004.

Cancer rates have dropped for the first time in the U.S. and previous declines are accelerating.

With the economy in shambles, fewer and fewer people are exhibiting concern for 'global warming'. Efforts by the global warming crowd continue, however - with the United Nations issuing yet another report warning that the cost to fight this 'crisis' may be 170% higher than 2007 estimates. Oops. Lawyers are getting into the game, demanding an international court for the environment to punish states that fail to protect wildlife and prevent 'climate change'.
Translation: They want to regulate air.

United America Committee has erected a giant billboard, warning of the very real danger of Sharia creep. (Islamic law)

CULTURE:

Planned Parenthood is offering Christmas gift certificates. Now you can give an abortion for Christmas. Or maybe you could give Atlas Sports Genetic's $149 test that promises to predict a child's natural athletic strengths. Scary stuff, all.

Between 1991 and 2006, the numbers of unfaithful wives under 30 increased by 20% and husbands by a whopping 45%. Thank-you, secular progressives.

A Los Angeles Superior Court judge has ruled that a man who infected his ex-wife with HIV while they were married must pay her $12.5 million.

Swiss voters on Sunday appeared to be giving overwhelming support to a pioneering program providing government-authorized heroin to hardened addicts.

In Florida, a strict law banning adoption of children by gay people was found unconstitutional by a state judge who declared there was no legal or scientific reason for sexual orientation alone to prohibit anyone from adopting.

South Korea is trying to jail an actress - for adultery.

In California, the PC police object to having kindergarten students dress up as pilgrims and Native Americans, saying it is 'demeaning.'

In Florida, Gulf Coast University has banned all holiday decorations from common spaces on campus and canceled a popular greeting card design contest, which is being replaced by an ugly sweater competition.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 68% of American adults prefer stores to show signs saying “Merry Christmas” rather than "Happy Holidays."

From the 'I've Got Rights!' file, A Deltona woman has sued the Volusia County supervisor of elections, contending that, as a Puerto Rican, she should have been able to cast her vote in Spanish.

Plans are underway for a movie depicting the life of Prophet Muhammad. Producer Oscar Zoghbi hopes his film will clear up misconceptions about Muslims, including what he says is "the understanding that all Muslims are terrorists." Critics say it is yet another attempt to humanize terrorists.

Virulent atheist Michael Newdow is at it again, seeking to remove 'In God We Trust' from U.S. coins and dollar bills, claiming in a new federal lawsuit that the motto is an unconstitutional endorsement of religion.

TOP IDIOTS OF THE WEEK:

Top Idiot Awards this week include the students at Ottowa's Carlton University who cancelled a cystic fibrosis fundraiser after finding out the disease wasn't 'inclusive' enough. Duh

So many idiots, so little space. Check out the latest RightBias Idiots Awards here.

Until next Monday, keep smiling,

The good news is, it looks like America has prevailed in Iraq, giving millions of Iraqis a chance at freedom. The bad news is, Iran now has produced enough nuclear material to make a nuclear bomb. Question: Have you heard either of these headlines reported??



What is being reported, ad naseum, is everything Obama. To date, an elementary school in Long Island and a South Florida Avenue are both being renamed in honor of Obama.
Pollster John Zogby came under heat for a new poll that shows the utter lack of knowledge of Obama voters on statements and scandals associated with the presidential tickets. His poll, however, is reinforced by a video of interviews with 12 Obama voters. After watching these Obama voters, I understand Neal Boortz when he suggests that ignorant people shouldn't be allowed a vote. Despite this, there still remains plenty of:

GOOD NEWS



The Indiana Court of Appeals issued a ruling Monday that affirmed Indiana's "In God We Trust" plates are constitutional. The war against God in the public square got another boost this week when outraged residents in the city of Rancho Cucamonga forced removal of a billboard that asked viewers to "Imagine No Religion."

The number of young people considering a career in the military is on the increase. A new Irish film claims that climate change guru Al Gore is an alarmist and that those who think they are saving the planet are only hurting the poor. Ya think?

U.S. military engineers are designing flying robots disguised as insects that could one day spy on enemies and conduct dangerous missions without risking lives.

GOVERNMENT at WORK:

New York City officials have ordered 22 New York churches to stop providing beds to homeless people. Apparently the churches must obey a city rule requiring faith-based shelters to be open at least five days a week -- or not at all.

Our elected officials scored abysmally on a test measuring their civic knowledge, with an average grade of just 44 percent. These are the public servants we are trusting to solve our economic crisis. Go figure.

In San Francisco, the fireplace police are now patrolling a neighborhood near you. For the first time ever, residential fires are illegal under a new law. Repeat offenders could face fines of up to $2,000. Hey, it could be worse...

And it is, in the UK, where children as young as five will win the legal right to tell teachers how they should be taught and disciplined for bad behavior. Britain is also considering a ban on 'happy hour' to cut down on alcohol related deaths.

In Canada, the Supreme Court ruled that obese people may now get two airline seats for the price of one. Hey, fatties apparently have rights, too. Meanwhile, the United Nations Human Rights Commission, while pleading poverty, threw itself a party in Geneva Tuesday that featured the unveiling of a $23 million mural paid for in part with foreign aid funds.

CULTURE

A 19-year-old Florida man, Abraham Briggs, committed suicide live on a Web cam, encouraged by those who were watching. Lovely.

Congresswoman Linda Sanchez, D-Calif., is poised to become only the eighth congresswoman in history to have a baby while in office -- and the first to do so while single. Meanwhile, Internet dating site, eHarmony, caved in to a lawsuit and will now be offering 'gay' dating services.

A 30-year-old Spanish woman has made medical history by becoming the first patient to receive a whole organ transplant grown using her own cells and a teen who lived for four months with no heart, has finally left the hospital.

In these tough times, many young women are turning to the baby business. The number of surrogate mothers or egg donors is up 30 percent. Times are so tough that more than 80% of multimillionaires who have extra-marital lovers plan to cut back on their gifts and allowances, according to a new survey.

THE WEIRD AND THE TRIVIAL:

Somali pirates have been paid more than $150 M in ransoms in the past 12 months and your average Arab reads 4 pages a year according to a UN survey - compared to Americans, who read 11 books. Hmmm, what does this all mean??

People Magazine has voted Australian movie star, Hugh Jackman, as the 'Sexiest Man Alive'. (He's the one on the right) Personally, I think he looks like a ferret. From the 'one short of a pair' files: An extraordinary account from a German army medic has finally confirmed what the world long suspected: Hitler only had one testicle.

A one-eyed San Francisco artist wants to replace her missing eye with a Web cam - and tech experts say it's possible.

A group of supporters has started a petition to get pole dancing into the Olympic games and actress Charlize Theron has been appointed United Nations Messenger Of Peace. They must not have seen the movie that made her famous.

TOP IDIOT OF THE WEEK:

The winner of this week's Idiot Award is the genius who decided to rename New York City's Triborough Bridge in honor Robert F. Kennedy. For those of you under 35 and/or recent graduates of government schools who don't see the irony in naming a bridge after a Kennedy, just google 'Chappaquidick'.

There are so many idiots and so little space that RightBias now has a new feature: Top Idiots Of The Week Awards. Check it out.

Culture Watch: Sex, Viagra and RIP Ugliest Dog in the World

Culture Watch Vol. 41

November 17, 2008



Obama had to skip his grandmother's funeral - he was too busy settling into the new 'Office of the President-Elect'. Meanwhile, markets continued their downward spiral. The DOW lost almost 14% of its value in the first week following The One's election. Ouch.

The feeding frenzy on Capitol Hill continues as cities, banks, automakers, etc. line up for their piece of the bailout money, courtesy American taxpayers. To date, $290 billion has been pledged, yet no action has been taken to fill the independent oversight posts established by Congress.

First in line for our money appears to be the automakers, even as they continue to spend hundreds of millions on idled workers. GM actually spends $17 million a year on Viagra. Go figure.
Despite a tanking economy, Dems have decided to make investigating the Bush administration one of their first priorities. "We could spend the entire next fours years investigating the Bush years," they stated.

---

CULTURE:
Just in time for Christmas, these ads, asking, "Why Believe In God?", will be plastered on DC buses throughout December. In Massachusetts, a new ad campaign promotes a web-site that will help you cheat on your spouse. Lovely
A lawsuit has been filed against two officers at Camp Lejeune Marine Training Base for banning a civilian worker from publicly condemning Islamic terrorists.

A South Carolina Roman Catholic priest has told his parishioners that they should refrain from taking communion if they voted for Obama.

Over in the UK, the government has decided to pay people to get off their butts. In China, they've decided to view Internet-addiction as a disorder.

In Nebraska, the number of teens dropped off under the state's 'safe-haven law' has almost tripled to three a week since Gov. Heineman announced that lawmakers would rewrite the law to cover only babies. And last, but not least, Thomas Beatie, the 'pregnant man' who gave birth to a daughter earlier this year, has announced that he is pregnant again. For some reason, there's an awful lot of:

SEX IN THE NEWS:

From the 'Let Them Eat Cake' files: The Pastor of a Dallas mega-church has urged his parishioners to commit to "seven days of sex."

Meanwhile, an Australian holiday resort announced it will be holding a month-long, nude 'anything goes' party. Good news for these party goers: A new spray has been developed which can make sex last longer. It also helps with premature ejaculation. Come again?

Mexico City has decided to give out Viagra to men 70 and older because sexuality "has a lot to do with quality of life and our happiness." In the UK, a couple was arrested for having public sex on a train.

Also in the UK, a British couple divorced after the husband was caught have a 'virtual affair' with a female character in an online role-playing game.

A 56 year-old grandmother in Ohio gave birth to her own triplet grandchildren. An increasing number of countries are making spreading HIV a crime.

GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS:

The Dallas Independent School District continues to hand out fake social security numbers to illegal employees, despite being told to stop.

The principal of a small elementary school in Vermont is under fire for blocking kids from saying the pledge of allegiance. He's concerned that it isn't inclusive enough and holds non-participating children up to scorn. Right...

In the UK, a teacher has seen exam pass rates increase by 65% after she suspended a quarter of her students.

A new study has found that the 'self-esteem movement' favored by parents and teachers, may have gone too far. Ya think?

ESSENTIAL TRIVIA:


The Pentagon has cleared 'Personal Air Vehicle Technology' which will ultimately lead to a flying car.
Saudi Arabia presided over a two-day UN conference on religious tolerance. The UK is facing a sperm donor shortage after they reversed confidentiality laws.

The UK is also running out of graveyards - they're now doing funerals like they do their buses - double-decker.

IDIOT OF THE WEEK:



In a historic first, the winner of this week's Top Idiot Award is an animal. In a clear case of statue-tory rape, this moose obviously confused life and art. He got away with this indiscretion after issuing a public apology and agreeing to attend sensitivity training. Personally, I think he got off easy because he was a FOB. (friend of Bill:)

With the election only hours away, the old media remains in full Obama mode. One newspaper even went so far as to proclaim Obama the winner. Other media are also proclaiming Obama the winner, well ahead of the election.
Obama is helping them out, as he just booted three conservative papers from his campaign plane. He had to make way for a black weekly magazine, dontcha know.

The LA Times is doing its part by refusing to release a video of Obama toasting a PLO bigwig and saying nasty things about Israel. This kerfluffle has prompted a $175,000 bribe/reward being offered to the Times reporter, just to do his job and report the news.

However this election turns out, the silver lining will be the death of the old media. Circulation at the nation's daily newspapers is falling faster than anticipated this year as readers continue their migration to the internet. I'm smiling.

A few of the stories being overlooked by the old media include:

* Obama's Kenyan aunt, an illegal immigrant, has been found living in public housing in Boston. I have to flash back to Obama's statement of October 24, "Most people understand that if you are not caring for your family, then you are probably not the kind of person who is going to be caring for other people." No word on whether Obama's half-brother in Kenya is still living on a few dollars a month. Oh well, at least his shack is legal.
*In a newly surfaced tape, Obama explains that, as president, he would "bankrupt" anyone looking to build a new coal powered plant in the US.

* Lots of developments in the ongoing saga involving Obama's birth certificate. For the latest, check out, 'Obama's Birth Certificate Still Under Wraps'.

*Oh, another story the media buried on the back pages was the astounding news that October was the first month of the Iraq war when no US servicemen died in combat in Baghdad.


CULTURE

Times are tough, but don't worry about our public servants. The collective wealth of members of Congress grew by 13% last year. "They came to do good, and ended up doing well."

A New Jersey teen was sent home from school for dressing up as Jesus on Halloween.

A California school refuses to say what action, if any, it will take after receiving complaints about a kindergarten teacher who encouraged her students to sign "pledge cards" in support of gays. Lovely.

The first measures capable of detecting new HIV cases show that Philadelphians are being infected at a rate more than 50% higher than residents of New York and a whopping five times higher than the rest of the nation. Could it be something something in the water, or the schools? Inquiring minds want to know.

In Nebraska, they're trying to redo a 'safe-haven' law which allows parents to safely abandon their babies. To date, some two dozen teenagers have been abandoned by their parents.
In the UK, smokers are soon to be banned from fostering children, under radical measures to be introduced in London. Whew, someone finally looking out for the kids.

As liberals continue to spend a good portion of their time proving how non-racist they are, along comes Minister King Samir Shabazz. This lovely fellow is the head of the New Panther Party. Here is how he describes himself, "I'm about the total destruction of white people. I'm about the total liberation of black people. I hate white people. I hate my enemy..." Thank-God America is color-blind. The only question remaining is, how many times is this dude going to vote for Obama?

On a lighter note, for all those who object to strip clubs, help is on the way. Federal authorities are reversing position (shock) and asking a judge to let U.S. marshals operate a strip club seized after the owner was convicted of tax evasion. Next thing you know, our taxpayer dollars will be funding this joint after the feds run it into the ground.

A New York Chinese restaurant has been shut down after workers were found dicing up road kill to serve in their dishes.

ESSENTIAL TRIVIA

In Romania, a man put his wife up for sale on a website specialising in used cars. He quickly lowered the price in order to get a quick sale.
Over in Saudi Arabia, breeders are now holding beauty pageants for sheep.

A new study has found that the color red makes men feel more amorous towards women. It looks like men may also be willing to spend more money on women wearing red. I wonder if that holds true for sheep.

National Geographic has published this years' award winning animal photos. Awesome.
IDIOT OF THE WEEK:

The winner of this week's Idiot Of The Week Awards is a 52-year-old El Paso man. This grown man decided to depart this vale of tears by throwing himself off a bridge. Which he did. The coup de grace, however, was a note he left behind. It was addressed to Obama, asking him to take care of his family for him.

So many idiots, so little space. For the rest of the RightBias Idiot Awards, click here.

Profiles in wishful thinking continue, with New York Magazine joining the rest of the media in declaring Obama the winner ahead of the elections.

This, despite serious questions about Obama's US citizenship status and the emergence of a new videotape of Obama talking about breaking free of the “constraints that were placed by the founding fathers in the Constitution” and in so doing, achieve “social justice” through “redistributive change.” Sounds like socialism to me. Despite non-stop obamamania, there remains plenty of:
GOOD NEWS:

A new ATI-News/Zogby poll shows a clear majority of undecided voters disagree with Obama’s plan for wealth redistribution in America. Another poll shows that you can't fool all of the people all of the time as Congress hits a measly 9% job approval rating.
The average retail price for a gallon of gasoline in the United States plunged more steeply than ever over the last two weeks. Terrorists are panicking as the price of oil continues to plunge, putting a huge dent in their jihad budgets. I'm smiling.

The New York Times is reaping what they sow, as their credit rating was just downgraded to junk status. And Oliver Stone's movie, "W" has tanked, big time.


CULTURE:

Crystal Magnum, the stripper responsible for the false accusations against the three Duke lacrosse players is now in Durham, promoting her new book. Inquiring minds want to know why this twit isn't in jail.

In Britain, lawmakers have backed human-embryo research. Also, London buses may soon be plastered with ads proclaiming "There's probably no God" if an atheist group gets its way.

A Japanese woman's sudden divorce from her online husband in a virtual game world made her so angry that she logged on and killed his digital persona. She has actually been arrested. As Thomas Sowell asked, 'Is Reality Optional?'
Meanwhile, a Wisconsin pastor has been charged with felony physical abuse of a child after he spanked his 12 year-old son.

A McCain campaign worker has confessed to making up a story that a mugger attacked her and cut the letter B into her face after seeing her McCain bumper sticker. Usually, its liberals who go to such lengths to become victims. Go figure.

GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS:

In a worrying sign of how much anti-semitism is creeping back into mainstream American culture, students at a suburban St. Louis middle school last week held "Hit A Jew Day." Also in St. Louis, the Health Department established an HIV testing center at a high school after discovering that as many as 50 teenagers may have been exposed to the virus.

Despite incidents like this, government schools continue to actively promote homosexuality. The latest being a "Coming Out Day" being held at a government elementary school. Parents were not informed.

MEDIA:
Just 14% of the stories about John McCain, from the conventions through the final presidential debate, were positive in tone. Why am I not surprised? The media bias in favor of Obama is, however, increasingly apparent to Joe six-pack. A new survey indicates, by a margin of 70% to 9%, Americans say most journalists want to see Obama win.
Bill O'Reilly has re-upped with Fox News. Now, viewers can love and/or hate him for four more years. Cool jeans.


ESSENTIAL TRIVIA:

In a blatant appeal to your prurient side, I include a new Victoria's Secret bra. Valued at $5 million, the bra is adorned with 3,575 black diamonds, 34 rubies and 117 one carat round diamonds.

If you're a sensitive soul, easily offended, I have good news. Scientists say it may one day be possible to erase undesirable memories from the brain, selectively and safely. Whoa. Good news also for all the beer drinkers out there. A team of researchers is working to create a beer that could fight cancer and heart disease.

On the other hand, it has been found that half of American doctors regularly give patients placebos instead of the real deal. Not to worry, it appears the placebos work just as well.

IDIOT OF THE WEEK:

People For The Ethical Treatment of Animals, PETA, again tops the list. They have proposed fish be renamed 'sea-kittens.' Banking, I suppose, on one's natural aversion to eating their pet kitten. Do people still donate to this ludicrous organization?

The Obama campaign continues its media fueled juggernaut. Despite McCain now within the margin of error, the Media Declares Obama The Winner. Obama ads are now embedded in video games, and government schools even have a textbook that includes a chapter on Obama. One Middle school was ordered to remove a huge Obama poster hanging over the front entrance. I don't know about you, but this guy is starting to scare me.

Meanwhile, in case you missed it, there is lots of unreported,

GOOD NEWS:

Fox News appears to be the only media reporting on the excellent news coming out of Iraq. Baghdad has actually started to disarm. Iraqi soldiers have been collecting private guns around the capitol. Now, only citizens with the proper permits can keep their weapons.

Remember Fallujah? As in, 'the bloody battle of..?' Well, things have changed. Last February, there were 8,000 Marines stationed there to ensure security. Now there are only 3,000. And by next month, there will be none. Zero, Zip. All across Iraq our troops are quietly leaving - and so far the Iraqis are doing a pretty good job of keep their country terrorist free. Dare we say Mission Accomplished??


Oh, our guys also killed the number 2 al-Qaeda leader in Iraq - a Moroccan guy known for his ability to recruit and motivate foreign fighters. With any luck, he is now enjoying the company of 72 vegetarians in the great hereafter.

In other good news, Iran has decided to limit child executions. A new judicial directive bans the execution of kids for drug crimes but keeps capitol punishment for those convicted of murder. Talk about baby steps.

CULTURE:

Bad news on the culture front. A new poll shows a full 69% of Democrats agree with Obama's socialist 'spread the wealth' position. And conservative icon Bill Buckley's son, Christopher, has decided to endorse Obama. He has since resigned from his dad's flagship magazine, National Review. Go figure.

Good news in France as Frenchmen decide to stand up for their country - Now, any football match before which France's National Anthem is booed, will be immediately stopped.
San Francisco will be voting on a measure this November to diss Bush in a big way by naming a sewage treatment plant after him. This is what liberals consider 'cute.' This is what conservatives consider an appalling lack of manners and class. One thing for sure - San Fran won't ever see a nickel of my vacation dollars.
God has gotten the boot in Washington. It seems another revision of America's religious history has been underway - this time at the $621 million Capitol Visitor Center due to open in a couple months.

For some reason, sex seems to be a major front in the culture wars. The good news is that sex offenders in Maryland must post this sign on their residences, in order to give trick-or-treaters a heads up that a pervert lives there.

In a further push towards androgyny, men are now invading women's fashion. It seems men's bras and mascara aren't enough. Now the truly 'with it' metrosexual is sporting 'manyhose.' Another cute idea from the left. For the record - I, nor anyone I know, will ever date a man wearing mantyhose. Yech.

Over in Dubai, a couple, who no doubt believed that all cultures are equal, was sentenced to jail for having public sex.

On the education front, an elementary school teacher who decided to have a sex-change operation and spring it on her class with no warning has a few parents spanking mad. (Can I say that?)

In what is called 'higher education,' thousands of useful idiots cum professors have signed a petition in support of domestic terrorist and fellow teacher (and friend of Obama), William Ayers. Remember him? He's the guy that tried to blow up the Pentagon and, to this day, regrets not being able to do so. Maybe Obama will make him head of Homeland Security.

Last, but not least, a homeless 22 year-old man killed a New York City college student because he was bored.

TRIVIA:

Check out the new, all too green, air-powered car. Its called the AirPod. Expect a huge decrease in the Green population if eco-idiots decide to drive this on the same road as a semi.

A new study has determined what I knew years ago: Bottled water is no purer than tap water. Also reporting on the obvious, another study has found that you have to listen to 7 late night jokes about Republicans for every 1 joke about Democrats. What makes this disturbing is the fact that late night talk shows are the major source of political news for most young people.

IDIOT OF THE WEEK:

The hands down winner of this week's Idiots Award is Ireland's biggest bookmaker Paddy Power. He decided Thursday that he would pay out early more than 1 million euros on bets that Obama will be the next US president.


Space constraints and the plethora of idiots has resulted in RightBias launching a full page of winners and runners-up in our new weekly 'Idiots Of The Week Awards'. Check it out for more absurdities.
