Time is on my side

Posted on June 24, 2006 by Bookworm

It's no secret that large chunks of the Western world are in demographic decline. Mark Steyn has focused on the fact relentlessly in a series of articles (with the most recent being an article, first published in the New Criterion and then republished in the WSJ). The most recent article

Keeping lips zipped

Posted on June 23, 2006 by Bookworm

I mentioned in an earlier post that Michelle Malkin has excellent coverage about the New York Times'/LA Times' decision to blab intelligence information to Al Qaeda and its fellow travelers.  Malkin included in that coverage several WWII posters that were created to warn people to keep their mouths shut for

Loose lips sink ships

Posted on June 23, 2006 by Bookworm

By the way, I'm very aware of the New York Times' and the LA Times' most recent articles exposing intelligence information being used to track down terrorists. I don't have any great insights to add: In my mind, it's not news to report intelligence information during a time of war,

Always an agenda

Posted on June 23, 2006 by Bookworm

I was reading the latest Greenhouse news report (earth hotter than it's been 400 years), and was all prepared to blog about that.  Then, I discovered that my WordPress was down.  So, I read around a bit more and discovered that The Anchoress has already said what I planned to

Victims and heroes

Posted on June 22, 2006 by Bookworm

Burt Prelutsky agrees with Ann Coulter's underlying point, which is that the Left likes to hide behind people who, through sheer sad and bad luck, lost their loved ones in the course of a well-publicized event, whether 9/11, the Iraq war, or Al-Zarqawi's sadism.  He then has this to say:

Different reasons to have people leave your country

Posted on June 22, 2006 by Bookworm

The Arab countries forcibly evicted their Jewish populations, so as to seize their property and purify their countries from the "stain" of Judiasm.  Israel is also asking one of its Arab citizens to leave, but for a very different reason: In a few weeks Ismail Khaldi, a 35-year old Bedouin

Explain this one

Posted on June 22, 2006 by Bookworm

Can anyone familiar with human physiology explain this one to me:  When I cut my hands (cooking or cleaning, or something), it's no big deal; when I get a cut on my feet (today my daughter's cleets took off most of one of my toenails), I start to black out.

Mark Steyn alert

Posted on June 22, 2006 by Bookworm

I don't have time to blog right now but, in any event, why settle for margarine when you can have butter? Yes, folks, there's a wonderful Mark Steyn column to be had, and it should satisfy all your daily reading cravings. UPDATE:  I'm so sorry for misleading those of you

Remembering the victims

Posted on June 21, 2006 by Bookworm

While the MSM has been very, very interested lately in killers, someone is remembering victims — 9/11 victims to be precise.  D.Challener Roe set up a blog called 2,996, which is the number of people who died on 9/11.  Here, I'll let him explain his plan: 2,996 is a tribute

Once again, there’s a false equivalency going on

Posted on June 21, 2006 by Bookworm

I'm no huge fan of the death penalty.  I think the risks of convicting the wrong man are pretty darn high.  There's also no doubt that, at certain times and in certain places, African-American men have disproportionately borne the risk of getting the death penalty.  It's also a very expensive

I suspect Newsweak was surprised

Posted on June 21, 2006 by Bookworm

Newsweek dove in with the best of them last week to smear the Marines regarding Haditha.  Its readers, apparently, weren't buying it: Readers, while deeply troubled by our June 12 report on the alleged civilian massacre in Haditha, overwhelmingly chose to stand by the Marines. One said, "These Marines deserve

Cycles on the brain

Posted on June 21, 2006 by Bookworm

My post on the Geneva Convention got two great comments from Patrick about the phrase "cycle of violence." Be sure to check them out. I seem to have cycles on the brain today. I was driving home from a meeting, struggling to share a narrow road with three bicyclists. To

Geneva wrongs

Posted on June 21, 2006 by Bookworm

For those on the Left atwitter about the fact that George Bush doesn't feel obligated to extend to Islamofascist terrorists (a) any rights under our Constitution; (b) any rights according to our own military men/women under a court martial; or (c) even the full panoply of rights accorded signatories to

Kids’ Klothes

Posted on June 21, 2006 by Bookworm

Many years ago, I had a good laugh watching two young men, dressed in faultless gang attire, run for a bus.  The funny part was that, as they ran, their lowrider pants get lower and lower.  One of them eventually ended with his pants around his ankles.  Undaunted, with the

Science is once again bent to political propagandizing

Posted on June 21, 2006 by Bookworm

I'm actually being a bit generous using the world "science" here, and I only use it because the newspaper article I'm going to savage uses the word — in the title of the article, no less. In fact, this is pseudo science being bent to make a political point: Bush
