I mentioned yesterday the knee-jerk reaction of the L.A. Times to the term "pro-life". A reader writes: "That's nothing compared to an edit I remember from some years ago by a Boston paper. In an article about the State's budget deficit, after their automagic rewrite, the Governor was quoted as saying, "I promise to put the State's budget back in the African American!"

Michael Darby has a new lot of posts up: On Zimbabwe, Pinochet, France and many Australian issues.

I have just put up here a short article by Dick McDonald about pro-Democrat media bias in the run-up to the Presidential election.

And I have just put up on PC Watch an email from a Sydney reader about the annual "Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras" that was held in Sydney over the weekend. The reader notes that, as usual, the number of homosexuals taking part was vastly exaggerated.

The wicked one has just put up a very incorrect picture.

The Left have always wanted more spent on welfare and made "Fascism" a swear-word. President Bush deposed a brutal Fascist dictator and sponsored a big expansion of welfare. But instead of being admired by the Left, he is hated with a passion. What does that tell you about the Left? It tells you that they have no principles at all: That everything they have ever claimed to stand for is fake.

Three more examples of Leftist dishonesty: They blame the 9/11 attacks on "poverty" in the Islamic world. Yet most of the attackers were Saudis and Saudi Arabia is one of the world's richest countries! They also say that they oppose racism yet support "affirmative action" -- which judges people by the colour of their skin! They say that they care about "the poor" but how often do you hear them calling for the one thing that would bring about a worldwide economic boom in poor countries -- the USA and the EU abandoning their agricultural protectionism? Leftists obviously care more about conservative farmers than they do about the poor!
