It’s a little over a year since Reason challenged readers to correctly attribute statements made by two Threedonia favorites: Christopher Hitchens and the boys of South Park. In the wake of what I have dubbed dhimmigate, it seems apropos to resurrect the quiz. If you take it, post your score and no fibbing. Top [...]

Stare into the gaping maw of evil… not the evil of intentional mass murder… mass murder’s unwitting cousins — the evils of arrogance and incompetence that provide cover — carry water for — the worst sorts of evil. Yeah he’s no El-Bashir (of Sudan), but the El-Bashirs of the world would not have quite [...] Share on Facebook Share on Facebook Remember the Michigan militia group arrested late last month by the FBI? At a bail/detention hearing in Detroit yesterday — under questioning by defense lawyers — the lead FBI agent in the case couldn’t recall a lot of details of the investigation. No. Really. From the Toledo Blade: An FBI agent who led the investigation [...] In the post yesterday where I posted a picture of boobies as requested by Tracy, commenter Raoul Ortega asked if I would post a picture of tits next. I’m not sure why Raoul wants to see a picture of Jacques Tits Belgian mathematician, but here you go…. get a load of that — also [...] Another picture of a guy named Muhammad — avoiding induction. April 28, 1967 Share on Facebook RAISING ARIZONA (1987) A hapless criminal (Nicolas Cage) and his ex-policewoman wife (Holly Hunter) kidnap one of the quintuplets of a furniture tycoon. Pandemonium results as they attempt to keep their crime a secret. Directed by Joel and Ethan Coen. Cast: Holly Hunter, John Goodman, Trey Wilson, William Forsythe, Frances Mcdormand. Director: Joel Coen. [...] Thomas Hagan, the only man who admitted to participating in the killing of Malcolm X 45 years ago was paroled today in New York City. I’d love to know Louie Farrakhan’s role, if any in that since it seems pretty clear Malcolm was killed with the tacit approval of the Nation of Islam. From CNN: [...] I assigned this book by Heather MacDonald to my Mass Media, Crime and Culture course for a book review this semester… it’s a devastating critique of media myths about racial profiling and even though it’s 7 years old it is still a highly relevant look at media, the misuse of statistics, and prevailing narratives. [...] Suffice to say that some in the Ukrainian Parliament do not support re-upping Russia’s lease of the port of Sevastopol for its Black Sea Fleet. Smoke bombs and eggs… we need some of that in Congress. Share on Facebook If you are a highly motivated young person who abhors the flesh and have (very) lofty goals… al-Qaeda has a job for you. Share on Facebook Algerian postcard from the 1920s = Mohammed’s Flight From Mecca in 622. Mohammed is the guy entering the cave. Share on Facebook My respect for Calvin Coolidge has been declared. It’s nice too see someone else shares the love… and we need more like Silent Cal in this age of celebrity politicians. So Pajamas Media has this nice blog post saying exactly that: Dorothy Parker, the early 20th century American writer and poet, once approached Calvin [...] James Cameron… director of a really awesome looking 3rd level Disney film. Share on Facebook The London Daily Telegraph has a great editorial by Christopher Booker on the biggest casualty of Iceland’s recent volcanic activity and resulting clamp down of Europe’s airline industry — common sense. From the comment: The Icelandic volcano shambles had striking parallels with the foot-and-mouth crisis of 2001. Both episodes involved a massive system failure in [...] Barton Fink (1991) 1940s comic-drama about a highbrow playwright’s (Turturro) nightmarish adventures in Hollywood.
