  • By Selwyn Duke When does an unborn baby become human?  If our contradictory laws are to be believed, it all depends on geographical  location and whether or not the wrong person tries to kill him.  A case in point comes to us from Wisconsin, where a man, Manishkumar Patel, is being charged with first-degree murder…

  • By Selwyn Duke Today’s topic is definitely one of the more amusing things I’ve treated.   Oh, it’s not fall-down-on-the-floor-and-rupture-yourself funny, but it is deliciously, give-the-phonies-just-enough-rope-to-hang-themselves, smirk-inducing funny.    

  • By Selwyn Duke Last month there was a story about a black firefighter who reported finding a knotted rope and threatening note containing a picture of a noose in an East Baltimore firehouse.  But now it has been revealed that the fireman, Donald Maynard, planted the objects himself.

  • By Selwyn Duke "Radiation. Yes, indeed! You hear the most outrageous lies about it. Half-baked goggle-box do-gooders telling everybody it’s bad for you. Pernicious nonsense! Everybody could stand a hundred chest X-rays a year! They ought to have them, too." – Mad scientist in Repo Man.
