I’m Shocked, Shocked!

Saturday, July 25th, 2009

Nice response to media bias: Gordon, who also serves as the Pentagon Spokesman for Western Hemisphere and Guantanamo issues also accuses Rosenberg of “bullying” reporters from various outlets including New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, Fox News, CBC, Der Siegel and Al Jazeera. He claims that over the years, Rosenberg has labeled her peers in [...]

For History Lovers

Saturday, July 25th, 2009

Father George W. Rutler: The year 1942 had more glaring villains and shining saints than almost any other year. Read it all. You will be glad you did. (And for those who do not remember the history of In Flanders Fields, read it here.)

Know Your Place

More classic Steyn as he identifies more pompous asses: It’s true that I have no education or expertise in …well, anything, really. So let’s go to a man who does – New York Times honcho Thomas Friedman: …this bill’s goal of reducing U.S. carbon emissions to 17 percent below 2005 levels by 2020 is nowhere [...]

Who is the Clever Programmer at Turner Classic Movies?

Remember when we thought Soylent Green was science fiction?

“Free” DMV Health Care

Saturday, July 25th, 2009

Small Dead Animals juxtaposes! Classic comment on their poll: You’d think Canada Customes [sic] would be stepping up border security what with our ‘free’ health care. Heh.

Steyn on Stupidity

Saturday, July 25th, 2009

And it only gets better from here: [T]he most memorable moment of Barack Obama’s otherwise listless press conference on “health care” were his robust remarks on the “racist” incident involving Prof. Henry Louis Gates and the Cambridge police. The latter “acted stupidly,” pronounced the chief of state. The president of the United States may be [...]

Stalinist Stanford

Saturday, July 25th, 2009

Joanne Jacobs: Michele Kerr, who comments here as “Cal,” has earned a master’s degree from Stanford’s Teacher Education Program (STEP), despite threats to declare her “unsuited” for teaching. FIRE has the links. . . . Stanford tried to revoke Kerr’s admission after she voiced disagreement with “progressive” views held by STEP administrators, but FIRE intervened [...]

Obama Turns Back The Clock

Saturday, July 25th, 2009

Bernie Quigley: I do however think it is fair to say, looking at these two sentences, that Obama responded to the situation archetypal rather than professionally or humanly. That is, he saw the cop as a stereotype – an autonomous form which resides in his mind and responds uninhibited by judgment through innate psychological constitution [...]

Oh But It Will

Saturday, July 25th, 2009

From the New American Foundation’s The New Health Dialog Blog (that blog title is a bit Orwellian to me, but I’m old): You may have seen the latest message tirade from the right — health reform equals rationing equals hospice equals euthanasia. Give us a break. No, give me a break. These “clever” folks like [...]

DMV Health Care Discussion and a Radical Prescription

Saturday, July 25th, 2009

Excellent session from Pajamas Media TV. I particularly liked the session where LA activist Joe Hicks interviews Dr. Peter Weiss, Assistant Clinical Professor of UCLA. Dr. Weiss is co-author of the book, Radical Prescription — A Physician’s Perspective on Healthcare Reform. The book, in its entirety, is available online. The primary theme — attacking cost [...]
