Hotair’s Greenroom has an excellent post on Ted Kennedy’s death in context with the Democrats collectivist agenda. The meme floated by the Left over the past few days, that Kopechne’s death was a reasonable price to pay for Ted Kennedy’s wonderful political career, is a brutally candid expression of the principle that even an individual’s right [...] I stand by the idea that the scariest person in all of the world is a prosecutor… his or her discretion is almost unbounded — and that includes choosing evidence. Read this from The New Yorker — it’s long, but well worth it, (Ed. but imbalanced as the UPDATE informs). News of the tragedy, which took place [...] Speaking of under-rated and great front men…David Grohl of the Foo Fighters falls into those catagories.

From The Times of London: The British government decided it was “in the overwhelming interests of the United Kingdom” to make Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al-Megrahi, the Lockerbie bomber, eligible for return to Libya, leaked ministerial letters reveal. Gordon Brown’s government made the decision after discussions between Libya and BP over [...] I’ve mentioned the “little one” before. How he made it to age 4 is really a blessing for him. Today he started “pre-school” for a couple of days to give my wife a break teach him to play well with others. Apparently he made quite the impression. He doesn’t look like [...] Bruce Bartlett explains in New Majority why he is so “anti-Republican” these days. I think the party got seriously on the wrong track during the George W. Bush years, as I explained in my Impostor book. In my opinion, it no longer bears any resemblance to the party of Ronald Reagan. I still consider myself to [...] UK police are going to re-examine the death of Rolling Stones guitarist Brian Jones who was found tits down in his pool in 1969. The story was always a typical late ’60s drug/alcohol accidental suicide, but apparently an investigative journalist — also a dying breed — has given information to the police that warrants [...] Share on Facebook This week’s segment of Crap of Bull was set to feature its first interview, with the recently assaulted Eric Golub, who faced intimidation tactics when attending Rep. Henry Waxman’s healthcare townhall. Schedules ended up not meshing, postponing the interview till another date, but COB’s Kostya Borienka gladly illustrates how Eric’s treatment could be just the [...] Being the good great husband that I am I have been sanding and staining all of our kitchen cabinets… so of course I can not do anything paint related without music…. I’ve got the speakers and iPod on shuffle set up in the garage so I can annoy my neighbors with the eclectic nature [...] From the band, “Bowling for Soup” Bowling For Soup – New Music – More Music Videos I like their song “Ohio (Come Back to Texas)” better, but I couldn’t find a video for it. Share on Facebook By 2008 standards, 2009 was a bit lackluster. Front-loaded with franchise sequels, back-loaded with movies based on toy brands, the film industry didn’t do much to repudiate critics who see Hollywood as rather unoriginal, overly safe and marching in lockstep. That said, a few highlights here and there made the dog days a bit alright. 1. [...] Kyle Smith of The New York Post has a detailed story today on Ted Kennedy’s political legacy, as currently written, and the true reality. Kennedy worked to implement a busing program in Boston that tore the city apart. Done in the due cause of racial equality, it was a disaster – even the blacks didn’t care [...] Share on Facebook Here is a hair-raising and distressing article on Western women in Muslim lands and the state of women in general from World Affairs Journal. Here’s a bit: Every time I despair of the way women are treated in Muslim countries—and the few syllables Western leaders and op-ed columnists expend on their humiliations, mutilations, harassments, and, [...] If you’re the British government, about 51 million pounds sterling: The price of justice [Mark Steyn] Well, now we know what Her Majesty’s Government considers the lives of 279 terrorism victims to be worth: The British government decided [...] Why do I think this seems the way -Mike! signs on to post here?

He is a retired Military Intelligence Officer who is now employed as a author and pundit. You may have seen him on Fox News or read his work in the New York Post. He has an article in The Journal of International Security Affairs, entitled [...] h/t: Ann Althouse Where — as she puts it: AND: If Teddy always “saw the other side of everything and the ridiculous side of things,” then that’s an open invitation. Despite his death, we can make all the Teddy Kennedy jokes we want. If anyone should see fit to criticize us, they need to know: [...] Mike Malloy, former Air America (now syndicated) radio host, and former writer/producer for CNN, gives us this little gem of misinformation in the opening paragraphs of his obituary for Ted Kennedy: He was, of course, the only Kennedy brother we got to watch grow old. Joe died young fighting in WWII; Jack and Bobby were assassinated in each of [...] “Peak Oil” is the term for the fact that, at some point, demand for petroleum will outpace the earth’s supply. When that happens, the price for the fuel will skyrocket, unless another, cheaper energy source is developed. The controversial question is not whether this will happen, but when. In an op-ed piece for the New York [...] Because I need to swim in the deep end of the pool of testosterone sometimes. Because as Don Draper on AMC’s salute-to-the-60s-Madison Avenue-style Mad Men, he’s the show’s amoral center. With, strangely, a stronger moral code than any of the other characters. Because he plays a chain-smoking compulsively unfaithful lying S.O.B. with a dick streak a mile wide. [...] Share on Facebook – and not in the good way, either.

Paging Dr. Sanders… KFC’s newest “sandwich” is a heart-stopping creation that seems literally to die for: it layers two kinds of cheese with bacon and oozes “Colonel’s sauce.” The twist? Instead of bread, two deep-fried chicken breasts round out the calorific concoction. But at 1,200 calories and 50 grams of fat, you might not be able to [...] As Barack Obama prepares to eulogize Teddy K, a small reminder … “Is now the time to remind everyone,” emails KP, “that Obama’s babysitters Ayers and Dohrm dedicated their communist manifesto to Robert Kennedy’s assassin, amongst others?” Share on Facebook I know Lileks and Malkin love it to death, but can’t wrap myself around the whole Twitter thing.

The patriarch, Joseph P. Kennedy, spent a big part of his life in the movie business, so it’s fitting, perhaps, to quote from [...] An SPCA exec kills her dog – after leaving it alone in a hot car for four hours. A story even Floyd could shed a tear for. But on that day, she arrived at work without realizing Louie was in the car. Several hours later, at about noon, she saw the dog when she went out [...] So says Bernard Goldberg. To refresh memories, CBS News ran a report on 60 Minutes II in 2004 that Bush had used his influence to worm out of an assignment in Vietnam. The allegation was backed up by some rather poorly created documents, one that CBS produced as a smoking gun from Bush’s guard days [...] John J.
