Speaking of Nino & Other Things

May 19, 2010 By

Playing with the ongoing non-story of SCOTUS Nominee Elena Kagan’s sexual orientation, Michael Kinsley has written a rather amusing satire about the sex lives of Supreme Court Justices: Why does Justice Antonin Scalia, by common consent the leading intellectual force on the Court, have nine children? Is this normal? Or should I say “normal,” as [...]

G. Washington, S. Brown & Idealism

February 24, 2010 By

This is both interesting and sad: Over at dotCommonweal, Robert Imbelli had a brief post on the buzz-producing “Yes” from Scott Brown on yesterday’s jobs bill. While many analysts have spent the last little while dissecting the vote itself, Imbelli noticed a much quieter (yet much more depressing) note in the story: Three hours before [...]

Five years in a shelter?

January 2, 2010 By

Over at New Advent, I found a story from CBS news that I think was meant to be an amusing sort of “feel good” story: Manhattan Soup Kitchen Serves Caviar; Anonymous Donor Gives 150 NYC Needy a Taste of Luxury Life There was something special on the menu at a New York soup kitchen Thursday. [...]

New Idea for the New Year -Updated

January 1, 2010 By

This is an idea I love, out of the blogosphere, via Glenn Reynolds at Instapundit, who writes: KILLING THE D.C. SCHOOL VOUCHER PROGRAM: Because protecting bureaucrats’ rice bowls is more important than, you know, actually educating. UPDATE: “Democrats Resegregate DC School System.” We discussed this here a few months ago: Pay attention to the former [...]

Terrorist not Talking; Obama Cruises Yemen – UPDATED

December 30, 2009 By

Noted at The Corner: To see the danger we face because of Obama’s return to a law-enforcement approach to terrorist interrogation, read today’s front-page story in the Washington Post. At the very end of the article, the Post notes: Abdulmutallab remains in a Detroit area prison and, after initial debriefings by the FBI, has restricted [...]

Christmas Climate: Lie down and die

December 11, 2009 By

Source The Christmas season is domestic; and for that reason most people now prepare for it by struggling in tramcars, standing in queues, rushing away in trains, crowding despairingly into teashops, and wondering when or whether they will ever get home. I do not know whether some of them disappear forever in the toy department [...]

Democrats Channel Rhett Butler

November 28, 2009 By

For some reason, even though we did not host Thanksgiving here, and none of us overdid during the day (I even convinced my MIL to eliminate the pasta course) yesterday most of us around here were like zombies, unable to do much more than grunt at each other and read or nap. In the later [...]
