Once upon a time, I respected Bill Moyers. A looooooong time ago. I haven’t for a while, now. Kinda glad, too. Read more

It’s just lovely! Easy on the eye, and it feels roomy and wide-open, even though there is a lot going on, there. I like it a lot, and he inaugurates it with a pretty dang good take-down of Tom “what’s say we bomb Mecca” idea. Yeah…let’s do that and give ’em an excuse to take out the Vatican, why don’t we? Congrats to Mr. H on the beautiful new website. Read more
UPDATE: Seems these flags were used to light up the car, but not as a political statement. Just plain stupidity. I stand corrected. I’m sorry, I don’t use the word scum often, so if I am using it now, you know it is not being used lightly. There are no words: FAIRFIELD – American flags, lining the lawn of the mother- and father-in-law of fallen U.S. Army Pfc. Timothy Hines Jr., were heaped in a pile early Saturday and burned...

Here is Instapundit – short, sweet and to the point! AN ANTI-TERROR RALLY BY MUSLIMS in Antelope Valley, California. You know, if these people had blown something up, they’d be getting more press. Which suggests that if the press wants to help eliminate terrorism, it should adjust its priorities. UPDATE: Here’s a report of an antiterror protest in Iraq, too. The same point applies. ANOTHER UPDATE: There’s more anti-terror protest action in Denmark. Hey, you people in the press. What... Read more
I love this. Remember just yesterday, or the day before, I linked to a blog post about the value of educating women who plan to stay home and raise kids? Well, take a gander at this piece in the Chicago Tribune, written by “Meg Kreikemeier, a stay-at-home mom and a former analyst for CNA Insurance”. Heh. For so long, Democrats have criticized Republicans as the party of the rich, and they still do when discussing tax cuts, budget deficits and... Read more
This is the one Elder Son will be wearing back to school in September. Cool t-shirt, cool product. Austin Paul has the details about how this idea came about, and points out that the coffee is cheaper than some Starbucks blends. And… In addition to paying its growers a premium for the coffee, Contra gives 50% of its profits back to the cooperative for development projects. The company also donates 5% of revenues to Freedom Alliance, which exists to “advance... Read more

Betsy Newmark is wondering what David Broder is all about as he writes that – oh, gosh – John Roberts’ life might have been a little too insulated – he may not have lived enough in the “real world.” Despite his youthful summer jobs in the steel mills at Burns Harbor, Ind., where his dad was an executive, Roberts has led a sheltered life, absorbed in the law. Private Catholic schools, Harvard, appointed jobs in the White House and Justice... Read more
Our pal at Mystery Acheivement has been busily translating the latest column from the mighty Oriana Fallaci. He begins: Published exactly one week ago today in Corriere Della Sera, it is entitled, “Il nemico che trattiamo da amico” (“The Enemy We Treat As A Friend”). Hopefully, I’ll have Part II translated and posted by tomorrow. You’ll have to go read it all, because it is lengthy, but do go read it. Print it out and read it with your Sunday... Read more
Jeanette has an interesting post up where she is confessing some confusion about the recent bombings in Egypt: Since September 11, 2001, we have been told many times the reason Al Qaeda is attacking us is we have downtrodden the Muslims, we have occupied Iraq and other various and sundry excuses. Some people actually believe this is the reason. I’m not so sure. Why the attacks in an Arab country like Egypt? Yes, they killed a handful of tourists but... Read more
