Don’t worry about the French

From WND: But Dalil Boubakeur, the head of the French Muslim Council and leader of the largest mosque in Paris, seemed to blame the government for the continuing violence. “What I want from the authorities, from Mr. Nicolas Sarkozy, the prime minister and senior officials, are words of peace,” he said. Sarkozy has been widely […]

Mailvox: plucky or plucked chicken?

One thing Halation, being relatively new to these parts, has yet to learn is that I write nothing without being able to back it up to at least some small degree. She calls what she apparently considered to be a bluff: perhaps you can tell me: what rights have i lost? there are precious few […]

The good ship Goldberg rights itself

From NRO’s Corner: My official position on Miers has been to criticize the selection, but give her the benefit of the doubt until the hearings. In other words, bad pick but she’s the nominee so let’s give her a shot. No more. After reading this story I’m officially against Miers. I’m with the Editors , […]

Mailvox: equines and equalitarians

As Chris writes, one detects the faint drumming of undead hooves in the distance: Actually, you mentioned it [the Electrolyte deal] again with regard to a “mailvox” before bringing up anything regarding the Pandagon thread. And you’d do far better to argue that you mentioned it with far less frequency prior to last week… except […]

Even the cheerleader has qualms

Peggy Noonan threatens to shed her Three Monkeyhood: A lot of Bush supporters assumed the president would get serious about spending in his second term. With the highway bill he showed we misread his intentions. The administration, in answering charges of profligate spending, has taken, interestingly, to slighting old conservative hero Ronald Reagan. This week […]

Maybe if I type very slow

Perhaps I can explain this on a point-by-point basis, some of those critics suffering from knee-to-chin disease will be able to grasp that this has nothing to do with my attitude towards women in general, but is a straightforward economic and demographic issue. 1. When the supply of something increases faster than the demand for […]

We are no longer at struggle

From the Washington Post: Former State Department counterterrorism official Larry C. Johnson reported on his blog yesterday that the Global War on Terrorism, or GWOT, or The WOT, “may still be alive.” A couple months ago, our colleague, Susan B. Glasser, reported that the Bush administration was undertaking a major review of its strategy on […]

Mailvox: let the birds chirp

Dread treads a trail of tears: I’m wasting my time with you and apparently many on this blog. If people will not wake by now, F___ it! The republic is apparently dead. Nobody really cares anymore about the truth. Asking asinine rhetorical questions is enough evidence for me that this nation does’nt WANT to get […]

Dependably untrue

Pat Tillman’s parents speak about their son’s death on ESPN: Pat had high ideals about the country; that’s why he did what he did,” Mary Tillman told the Post. “The military let him down. The administration let him down. It was a sign of disrespect. The fact that he was the ultimate team player and […]

Hardly

An alternative take on conspiracy theory found on NRO: “…conspiracy theorists, for example, tend to assume there are conspiracies everywhere precisely because if they were in power they would be hatching conspiracies themselves.” YES YES YES! This thought haunts me every time I hear the Dems make Bushitler accusations. What does it say about them? […]
