More on women in veils
Over at American Thinker, you can read about Nyamko Sabuni, Sweden’s new Integration and Equality Minister. Contrary to the Orwellian overtones in that title, Ms. Sabuni, a Muslim, is vocally opposed to female circumcision and arranged marriages, among other things. The American Thinker squiblet takes Ms. Sabuni’s appointment as the

There’s a dangerous trend amongst Republicans right now to say that the Republican Congress has been weak and profligate and to announce a plan to “punish” Republicans by abstaining from the elections, voting for third party candidates, or even voting for Democrats. I’m sure the Republicans will get the message,
Continue readingAnd now for something completely different
Daniel Pipes suggests a completely different approach in Iraq, which would remove American troops from immediate harm in urban areas (there’s you’re withdrawal bit), while enabling them to continue to perform tasks vitally necessary to the delicate new Iraqi nation: “Stay the course – but change the course.” I suggest

David Zucker, a Hollywood neocon, has produced another video, this time about the Dems’ promise to increase taxes. You can see it here, at Flopping Aces. It’s quite funny, although I’d prefer something showing that, while Dems and Republicans are equally profligate with our money (although for entirely different agendas),

The New York Times runs a funny, but somewhat disturbing story about a Yale student’s video application to a securities firm, which someone at the firm leaked, and which is now a YouTube staple: With his name and image appearing on the “Today” show, in The New York Post and

One of the reasons I left private school for public school is that, as the kids got older, they had more and more after school activities. This prevented me from putting them in an after school care program and, instead, saw me driving all of the place to drop one

Apparently San Franciscans have turned on a politician who is too liberal, even for them: A couple of new polls are giving Camp Newsom new hope of unseating archrival San Francisco Supervisor Chris Daly from his power perch in the South of Market District 6. The numbers show a big

Despite the fact that more than 60 years have past since the end of the Nazi’s deranged regime, stories about survival and decency still crop up. Here’s one that came through my email: Here is an unknown story that I believe will be of interest and that you might like

I’m sure you’ve heard about the 9/11 memorial in Arizona, which manages to intermix with the names of dead repeated insults to America and her culture, all of which imply that the dead deserved their collective fate. If you live in Arizona, and would like to voice your dismay about

I like movies about characters who grow and reform. That’s why one would have thought it a no-brainer that I would like 2004’s Maria Full of Grace, which we finally got the other day, via Netflix. After all, the critics raved about its main character achieving the “grace” of the

The usual family intense weekend, so blogging won’t resume until tonight. However, if you want to read something really, really good, check out Dr. Sanity’s post riffing off the revelation that Teddy Kennedy offered to work with the Soviets to advance their interests at America’s expense. (Will the subpoena against

Speaking of Popal, the Fremont, California Muslim man who ran down every pedestrian in sight, remember how quick everyone, including the mayor of San Francisco, was to reassure us that there was no evidence this was a religiously-motivated hate crime (never mind that the fellow went 40 miles out of his
Continue readingNo answers soon re Popal
Yesterday was the preliminary hearing for Omeed Aziz Popal, but there won’t be any answers soon. The court suspended the case indefinitely pending psychiatric review to determine if he’s competent to stand trial: San Francisco Superior Court Judge Donna Alyson Little heard Feinland’s motion and ordered that Popal, 29, return

Jonah Goldberg expresses my sentiments exactly when it comes to today’s situation in Iraq. (And read the whole thing, not just the first two paragraphs.) FacebookTweet
