Coulter on Ahamadinejad
This is why, even when conservatives feel Ann’s crossed a line, as she has in the past, they still read her articles — she’s nailed the whole Columbia, “free speech,” Ahmadinejad thing.

Another Clinton appointee chisels away at the Patriot Act
I am not conversant with the details of the Patriot Act, nor am I a Constitutional lawyer. I simply find it interesting that, more often than not, when a Federal District Court judge rules something about the Patriot Act unlawful, that judge is a Clinton appointee. The most recent case

I blogged yesterday about the terrorist threat against children. Today, I learned that, although it was almost certainly a prank, not a terrorist threat, our community takes seriously things that just don’t look right. Unbeknownst to me, the whole saga started early this morning a week ago in Mill Valley:
Continue readingPutting the sob story in context
The New York Times has a long, sad story about children killed in Gaza. As the first few paragraphs are framed, not only should your heart be wrenched at the children’s death (which is always a tragedy), but you should also feel inflamed with rage that Israel would visit this

I liked Genesis music a lot back in the 1980s, but had entirely forgotten about the song “Illegal Alien” which debuted on their 1983 eponymous album. The song, which purports to be sung by an illegal alien hoping to head north to the US, is startlingly dated because, while ostensibly

I have nothing to add. Go here, to Michelle Malkin, and be sure to watch the video.
Continue readingA graphic novel I might read
I’m not a big reader of graphic novels. In fact, I’ve never read a graphic novel. The last things I read that had anything in common with graphic novels were the Archie cartoons or Ritchie Rich cartoons I used to read at the orthodontist’s office, back when I was a

Last month, when a Colorado school issued an edict banning tag because someone might get emotionally hurt, I did a long post about how I thought the long-term consequences of that decision were infinitely worse than the short term issue of kids having a playground conflict. In the last couple

Thomas Lifson has a good summary of the link up between the usual suspects at work with regard to the San Francisco Film Commission’s decision to deny the Marines the right to film in San Francisco, as well as the MSM’s curious lack of curiosity regarding the City’s conduct vis
Continue readingGeorge Soros — manipulating for money
If you haven’t been reading the Investor’s Business Daily series about George Soros, why the heck not? It reveals a man without political principles, who is, instead, driven by a greed that recognizes that there is money to be made from chaos — so he creates the chaos. He has

Those people who have been able to get beyond Ahmadinejad’s headlining act in “It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad Holocaust and Gay Denying World,” have been mesmerized by the popular uprising in Burma against the fiercely repressive military regime. Just yesterday, in an effort to drag world attention to a more

Remember how I posted briefly yesterday about a candidate for the Reed Union School District who is running on an anti-Union platform? Today, he withdrew his candidacy because he’s been subject too an uncomfortable level of harassment, both in terms of anonymous phone calls and an investigation into his private
Continue readingThey serve us and we deny them the right to vote
I was impressed by the temperate tone in this Stars and Stripes article, because I was just incensed when I read that our troops, who are putting their lives on the line for us, as a result of bureaucratic inefficiency, are being denied that most fundamental of all American rights,

Two things are going on in San Francisco that demonstrate that City’s abiding dislike for the American military. The first thing to note today is that the Board of Supervisors is set to vote on Supervisor Chris Daly’s umpteenth attack against the Blue Angels. I’m confident that it will fail
