Most of it, anyway. Need to attend to family and household things and also need to simply get away from news altogether and rest a bit. Unless, of course, something huge breaks. But I hope nothing does. Meantime, over the weekend, here are some blogs to keep checking back to for specific stories: Stick with Miss Mabrouk of Egypt for all the latest on the story re the arrest/abduction of Egyptian blogger Abdolkarim Nabil Seliman. She’ll have all the latest,... Read more
Transcript of Mark Steyn talking to Hugh Hewitt on the spreading riots in France. I think, is the start of a long Eurabian civil war we’re witnessing here. HH: Now that’s a pretty provocative statement. Let’s begin by…describe these for us. Are they like the Moscow or the Leningrad or the St. Petersberg tenements that stretch on and on? MS: Well, actually, I would say they’re more miserable than that… HH: Wow. Read it all. Read more

Well, just let me slap my forehead here in stupefication: the CIA and Joe Wilson may’ve been up to something unfresh? Say it ain’t so, Joe! Say it ain’t so! Why didn’t the Agency require Wilson to sign a non disclosure agreement respecting his trip to Niger? A good question, indeed, because this stunning lapse allowed him to make false charges about it, to which the Administration could offer only a limited, ineffective response without first declassifying information. I don’t... Read more
Ohhhhhh. I just got an email from someone, who, after calling me some ugly names, informed me that the reason we found no WMD in 2003 is because Clinton BOMBED THEM AND GOT THEM ALL back in 1998, and Bush knew it. Amazing. Clinton “GOT THEM ALL…” – apparently he knew exactly where they were and “got them all” in just a few days bombing. Which doesn’t quite explain why he and the Democrats were still talking about them in... Read more
Gerald says they can’t be on CSI, anyway. I don’t watch the show, but if you missed last night’s episode, he’s got the rundown for you. Apparently the show mistated the Christian take on the use of stem cell research too, once again dishonestly lumping ADULT stem cells, which we think are just dandy for research in with the EMBRYONIC stem cells, which we don’t, thus further muddying up those waters. The left’s insistance on being utterly dishonest re the... Read more
The Right to be Wrong by Kevin Seamus Hasson, published by Encounter Books. The back cover has enthusiastic blurbs from Michael Novak, Mary Ann Glendon, Rev. John Neuhaus and Rabbi Alan Mittleman – so I’m looking forward to it and will let you know what I think in a few days. Also…from a friend who always sends me my Christmas gift ‘way early, because it’s always Christmas music to “get in the mood” comes this which I am so far... Read more
When I don’t much like a blogger, or a commenter, I don’t read him. But it’s a big leap to go from “I don’t much like this guy,” to “let me try to destroy his academic career” Read more
Jimmie is looking for Media Clarity. Gateway Pundit says France is in retreat – comprehensive coverage and lots of links Meryl Yourish says this was predicted three years ago, and points out that the violence is also in Sweden, Denmark and Brussels. And England. I wonder what Fallaci is saying, now. Rand Simberg also has the Denmark story The Captain is looking at Nazi History. Thedore Darlrymple is the must read on all of this. Economics is playing into it.... Read more
