In the post Scott mentioned earlier, Dreher insists that the jarring juxtaposition that occasioned many readers to question his values and priorities, has been the subject of a significant misinterpretation. It's the surprisingness of the "bisexuality is cool" claim that motivated his post, not it's...

I have to agree that it's not accurate to say that John McCain is as bad as Herbert Hoover. He's much worse. And while the Obama administration is certainly infinitely preferable to this kind of cretin, it sure would be nice if their plan to deal with the banking system wasn't to hope that people wi...

My gast is flabbered. More Damning Info on Chas Freeman Over at Reason, Michael Moynihan notes that "Freeman seems not to have too deep an understanding of the history of the Middle East. For instance, after the first Gulf War, Freeman told the left-wing journalist Alexander Cockburn that the prospe...

T-Steel has an absolute must-read response to Malcolm and the rest of the stone-throwers (emphasis is T-Steel’s): For all you “American poor people aren’t really poor look at those people they don’t look poor and they should get a job and if they can afford a cell phone they can buy food...

Glenn Reynolds, the Instadope, defends the paltry turn out at their anti-economic sense anti-stimulus protests by saying… But it’s much bigger news when 200 people with jobs who’ve never protested turn out, than when 20,000 of the usual suspects organized by ACORN or ANSWER march with prep...

A third-stringer at Andrew Breitbart's new site Stalinist Aesthetics For Dummies starts us off with some boilerplate that reminds us that "politically correct" has become the most useless phrase in the English language: If you call 411 or customer service for almost any service-related company today...

Stop waving your hand around and shouting “Me me me!” Michelle, I’ll come back to you another day. I started watching Glenn Beck’s “war games” segment on Fox News because, apparently, I like torturing myself but there wasn’t a light socket around to stick my...

Apparently, Roger L. Simon's New Book, I Used to Consider Myself a Democrat, But Thanks to 9/11, I’m Outraged by Chappaquiddick: And That Must Be Why I'm Not Getting Work, It Certainly Has Nothing To Do With The Fact That My Prior Projects Were Commercial, Critical And Artistic Fiascoes has been r...
