Double standards, anybody?
Oh, yeah, Klavan gets it! And he’ll hope you get it too: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3JDT5vBQQr8[/youtube]

We have not forgotten Gilad Shalit
StandWithUs is circulating a petition directed to the International Committee of the Red Cross, Amnesty International, and the United Nations, aimed at putting pressure on Hamas to free Gilad Shalit. Given that those organizations are all rabidly antisemitic and anti-Israel within their own four walls, I think it’s an excellent
Continue readingWe see the problem with Obama’s presidency. Can we come up with a solution? *UPDATED*
Yesterday, weary and depressed, I linked to Charles Krauthammer’s most recent post, one that has him posit a Machiavellian Obama who has succeeded in laying the groundwork, not only for the transformation and, inevitably destruction of America, but also for his own reelection, so that he can cement his gains

The Council has spoken and, as always, it has spoken wisely. In what was, again, an exceptional week of submissions, some still led the pack. In other words, I heartily endorse the outcome of this election: Council Winners First place with 2 2/3 votes! – The Razor – Life in

I arrived in England months after Peter Sutcliffe, the terribly brutal “Yorkshire Ripper,” had been arrested. His last victim had been killed around the corner from the apartment in which I was to live for a year. Although I was happy and felt safe where I lived, only once did
Continue readingWelfare versus parasitism
When I lived in England many, many moons ago, I met an English student who had spent the previous summer working, very, very hard, at the local zoo. The highlight of his work day was driving around the little kiddy train, and even that wasn’t much fun. He spent the
Continue readingKrauthammer — accurate but depressing warning about Obama’s ability to transform America irrevocably
If you’d like to be depressed, read Krauthammer’s latest. Sadly, it sounds accurate in every respect. Honest to God, I don’t know if America can recover from this, or if we’re going to l0ok like England 20 years from now. If that’s the case, I want a rock to crawl
Continue readingWomen in Iran
If you have a strong stomach, read this horrific report about two women in Iran who were convicted of adultery and sentenced to death by stoning. This is entirely in keeping with the point I made in my article at AT that totalitarian states view sex, not as a private
Continue readingTake back popular culture
I’ve written several times at this blog about the need to take back popular culture and make it more consistent with American values. (Indeed, I think every conservative blogger has written the same thing.) This Englishman, speaking of the disaster of British multiculturalism, perfectly articulates why a country must celebrate
Continue readingMassive amounts of interesting stuff out there *UPDATED (REPEATEDLY)*
[Since I’m repeatedly updating this post, I’m going to keep it at the top of the blog, at least for a while. There are other, newer posts below.] What a morning for interesting reading (and, in my next post, I’ll put up the Watcher’s Council submissions, which are also great).

I know it’s supposed to be a love song (or ex-love song), but honest-to-God, I sometimes think it’s what all parents think when they look at their teens and tweens, the ones who want the money but don’t think there’s a housekeeping quid pro quo: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SxvK27Dz3iU[/youtube]

Another great batch to expand your mind, from the Watcher’s Council: Council Submissions Wolf Howling – Obama & Keynes, Hayek & Laffer Snapped Shot – Speechless The Colossus of Rhodey – Foundation’s Triumph review and the fate of human destiny The Razor – Life in a Vise Rhymes With Right – An

It might work, if Obama looked and sounded as good as this guy: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8Bli13rO9A[/youtube]

Don Quixote sent me an email this morning. It seemed like a great thing to post, especially while I’m digesting all the stuff in today’s news: Subject: The Fence………. Which side of the fence? If you ever wondered which side of the fence you sit on, this is a great

This sounds rather fun: If you are skilled with a pistol, rifle or any other firearm, you could win $100,000 in prizes on season 2 of History Channel’s hit competition show TOP SHOT. Producers are looking for anyone with mind-blowing shooting skills and a big personality to take on exciting
