According to Jane’s Country Risk, the United States isn’t the world’s most stable and prosperous nation - and it’s not even in the top twenty. We rank in at #22, behind countries like the United Kingdom, Sweden, and the Vatican.
How did they rate it? Observe:
under the rating system, which took into account each nation’s political […]
Case Study Monday, ladies and gentlemen: an eastern European country that runs the Flat Tax! I always wondered what it would be like to just try these wacky conservative economic ideas on countries in real-life; turns out Estonia has been running the Flat Tax for a while.
Estonia, formerly of the Soviet Union, runs […]
Greetings BPNers. I haven’t been able to post much lately, so I thought I’d share some interesting news tidbits over the last couple of weeks or so:
All over the news this morning was the announcement that a new tape was issued by Al-Qaeda. The audio tape contains a message by Osama bin Laden calling for […]
Hey, do you hear that?
Ah, yes. Normalcy. It’s a normal day today because yet another terrorist plot against the U.S., and this time, Germany, was averted. One of these days, liberals could have woken up to news about a massive chemical explosion on Ramstein Airfoce Base, with casualties around 700, and kneejerkedly bash Bush some […]
In a move that I’m sure makes fellow BipolarNation blogger Dan Kenitz jump for joy, the late Ronald Reagan, President of the United States from 1981-89, will be honored by Poland.
From a Reuters article appearing on NewsMax:
Poland will award late U.S. president Ronald Reagan one of its highest distinctions to recognize his role in the downfall […]
According to an Associated Press article published in yesterday’s (7/12/07) Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Jane Felix-Browne, who also goes by the name of Zaina Mohamad, has married Omar bin Laden, one of the al-Qaeda leader’s sons.
It marks the 51-year-old grandmother’s sixth marriage, and the 27-year-old’s second.
They are reported to have married in Egypt back in April […]
I saw this morning on one of the cable news channels (I believe it was CNN Headline News, but I flip through so many channels) that Pope Benedict XVI has removed restrictions on the pre-Vatican II Tridentine (or Latin) Mass.
Many pro-reformers in the Roman Catholic Church are upset by this decision, calling it a setback. Likewise, […]
It’s been a while since we’ve had some Loch Ness Monster evidence. A lot of people say that with today’s technology, and laser sweeps, there’s no way one could exist.
Not so fast, says Gordon Holmes, who’s a lab technician from Yorkshire. He got some pretty interesting visual evidence on film that says otherwise.
A big black […]
The very un-French-sounding Nicolas Sarkozy, a pro-American “conservative,” won France’s election for the president to succeed Jacqure Chirac. He beat out the socialist Sergolene Royal by what Reteurs called a “comfortable margin.”
Although he claims to be American-friendly (which he also noted won’t be TOO pronounced given his public’s general hatred for us), he has […]
In this world of selective “Al Sharpton” moralism, it’s nice to have an organization that isn’t afraid to tell us what is and isn’t good.
Like the Catholic Church.
Archbishop Angelo Amato, secretary for the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, denounced gay marriage and abortion as being part of terrorism with a human face. […]
