It’s just a free trade zone

From the Telegraph, via NRO’s Corner: “A wealth of evidence has come to light to show how, over the next two decades, the British Army will have been almost wholly reorganised and re-equipped as part of the European Rapid Reaction Force (ERRF), directed from Brussels, using equipment supplied almost entirely by other countries in the […]

What media bias

From the Telegraph: The BBC was last night plunged into a damaging general election row after it admitted equipping three hecklers with microphones and sending them into a campaign meeting addressed by Michael Howard, the Conservative leader…. Last night, the BBC claimed that the exercise was part of a “completely legitimate programme about the history […]

Nick Coleman, hermaphrodite-at-large

Star & Sickle columnist Nick Coleman unwisely elects to write to PressThink: Do you THINK the press is being de-certified? Which side are you on? I thought that was your game plan. You ripped me last fall without even speaking to me because I had the poor judgment (or maybe the balls) to confront right […]

The myth of voting and other nonsense

Apparently Miss Orac managed to pull herself off the fainting couch long enough to stick her pretty little foot even further into her pretty little mouth. Now she’s insisting that I’m not a member of the Taliban – no, really – but that I’m a Taliban wannabee. Right. I so want to grow a beard […]

Vox vs Tucker Max

After following the link from Bane’s site, I spent a fair bit of time laughing until I nearly expired while following the intoxicated meanderings of an ego writ large. It made me feel rather good about myself, because I never realized until today that while I may have been extraordinarily inconsiderate and borderline sexually sociopathic […]

A boot or a bullet

For the past 60 years, gun enthusiasts have been firing rounds at the San Gabriel Valley Gun Club, the largest shooting range in Southern California. But now the club is in the crosshairs, since residents of the city of Azusa say it no longer fits in with the area’s increasingly suburban way of life. Some […]

Mad dog Michael Ledeen

Michael Ledeen barks up a storm on NRO: The clear strategic conclusion remains what it should have been long before Coalition troops entered Saddam’s evil domain: No matter how strongly we wish it to be otherwise, we are engaged in a regional war, of which Iraq is but a single battlefield. The war cannot be […]

Why I prefer conservatives

As people, in general. Don’t get me wrong, I have plenty of friends who are on the left side of the spectrum and are voting for Kerry next week, (although not very enthusiastically, it’s been interesting to note), and in my experience it’s mostly the younger sort, the 12-25 year olds, who are unable to […]

Mailvox: hearing from the Malkin fans

YR writes: The sneak attack at Pearl Harbor was an act of war you fucking twit. I am proud to have nuked their gook asses. They were cruel evil motherfuckers. Man you are an idiot. Ever served in the military, you fucking dweeb? Get a LIFE man. People like you should be deported and shot. […]

Oh sweet Cthulhu!

The Lonely One types through the tears: In the last ten years or so, I have actually had several guys ask me directly to be their friend. Hmmmm. To me friendship just becomes…one day you both notice you are friends, and it feels right. Maybe at some point, you make some sort of a commitment, […]
