Ted Kennedy and the left – murdering the Individual

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 [...]

This is Horrific — If True (Bumped)

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 [...]

You Didn’t Say Anything About “No Oil For Blood”.

John Bullshit officially jumps the shark. 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 [...]

The Law Wins

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 trouble does he? [...]

Bartlett: Republicans too partisan

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 [...]

Sometimes There’s Crying in Baseball

When I was seven or eight years old, I was in the finals of the Fairfield County Connecticut spelling bee.  The winner would move on to the state finals for a chance to go to the nationals.  Somehow, I lucked out and was given an easy one.

“Though.”

I could spell that in my sleep!

I [...]

He’s Gathering Moss

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 [...]

Crap of Bull — Episode #5 — History Repeating

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 of [...]

Top Five: Movie stories of the summer

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 [...]

Smith: The Kennedy Myth

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 [...]

No Disappointment in Heaven… Bob Wills (of the Texas Playboys)

Isn’t Submission Supposed To Be Voluntary?

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, [...]
