Pray that You Never Get Michelle Malkin’s Undivided Journalistic Attention.

You may have heard of Nick Kristof, two time Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist for the estimable — nay, legendary! — New York Times. He’s hobnobbed with the rich and famous and written books and now holds the title as author of the slimiest piece of propaganda passed off as journalism I’ve ever read. Kristof’s affront to [...]

Merry Staying Home from School in the Winter For No Apparent Reason, Everyone!

This morning, one of my friends, Teri Christoph tweeted one of the most amazing things I’ve read in quite a while. Her kids are students in the Fairfax County (VA) public school system where they are getting into the Christmas Holiday Winter Break spirit by building the old, familiar traditional storybook structures with which we’re [...]

So Long, Washington Times

| December 3, 2009 | Comments (2)

I’m not really sure how I feel about the ongoing implosion of The Washington Times. On one hand, I lament that perhaps the most popular right-leaning newspaper in that nation is pretty much going to disappear. As well, I will sorely miss the Times’ sports coverage. Corey Masisak’s Capitals coverage, in particular, is very good [...]

Why is Mike Huckabee’s Political Career Like the Christmas Goose?

| December 3, 2009 | Comments (0)

I think it’s safe at this point to call Mike Huckabee’s political career, at least on the national level, completely cooked. I’ve not touched on the story of Maurice Clemmons and the clemency granted to him by then-Governor Huckabee (though Stacy McCain has written several pretty comprehensive posts on it and I encourage you to [...]

They Sing the Policy Obama, But Not All That Well

Remember that 18-month deadline the President set for our troops to begin withdrawing from Afghanistan? He seemed pretty definitive about it when he said, “After 18 months, our troops will begin to come home”. And he reinforced that later when he added a specific month. Taken together, these additional American and international troops will allow [...]

| December 2, 2009 | Comments (2)

Episode 14 of the grand romp I call The Delivery is available for your listening, downloading, and subscribing pleasure. I don’t have a lot to say about this episode. I’m settling into a rhythm and getting quite comfortable with my format. The show is becoming more fun to do, if you can believe that. I [...]

The Coming Ice Age, or Warm Age, or Something…

| December 2, 2009 | Comments (1)

I’ve not linked Ed Driscoll’s “Silicon Graffiti” in a while (mostly because I haven’t seen a new one hit, but perhaps I’ve missed them). It’s time to remedy that. Climate change is the subject. He throws in references to King Crimson and one of my favorite childhood shows, “In Search Of…”. This should not surprise [...]

If Last Night’s Speech Confused You, Don’t Worry. The President Probably Wasn’t Talking to You.

| December 2, 2009 | Comments (1)

Last night, Barack Obama gave the speech he has been dreading since he took the Oath of Office, the one he put off as long as he possibly could. He had to stand in front of his progressive left-wing base and tell them that he was actually going to keep one campaign promise they had probably expected, [...]
