Read it. Muslims are just so cute when they’re angry.

Read it. Pretty embarassing when the French are more sensible than we are.

Guess which side the government is on.

Now guess which side is winning.

And YOUR tax money is paying for this.

Read it. I have often wondered why Israel didn’t expel all Muslims as security threats. Guess they’re just too nice.

Read it. Not sure I’d be as willing as he is to give polemicists the benefit of the doubt with respect to these questions, but I’m naturally a cynical and suspicious personality.

Read it. Why I won’t be voting for Guiliani. If I ever vote for a crook, it will be a Democrat crook.

Read it. George Will spanks some Democrats. Fun to watch.

Read it. No, I really have no interest in this subject — I just wanted to use that headline.

Read it. Now there’s a headline from the Washington Post I never expected to see.

Read it. No surprises here.

Read it. Excellent insight. In short supply these days.

Steve Sailer points out the a lot of “big name authors” don’t actually write their own stuff. Of course, that’s been the cornerstone of academic writing from time out of mind. But it doesn’t hurt to remind people of it now and again.

That also applies to politicians who put out books when they’re running for President. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised to find out that some bottom-tier candidates run for President merely to increase the sales of their books, which otherwise would probably sink without a trace. Just monetizing the name, that’s all; if a football player can do it, why not a Congressman?

Steve Sailer points out a good reason to have the death penalty.

Of course, those who maintain that the death penalty doesn’t provide any deterrent effect will deny this.

Read it. Go, Fred.

The interesting thing about the Thompson proposal is that it will actually introduce a market (i.e. democracy) into the American tax system – and people will be able to vote with their money (which is the only kind of vote that is truly honest). And, of course, the nominal “Democrats” will oppose it tooth and nail, thus revealing themselves (once again) as the Oxymoron Party. (They’re all for choice, when it’s a choice of which they approve.)

The really interesting part is how many RINOs show up to join the Idiocrats to oppose it. A good litmus test, I’m thinking.

Read it. Why, they would never do that, surely?

Read it. Of course, it’s all about power and money. Any Democrat will sell our culture down the river in order to get more of either.

Read it. I am of two minds about this sort of thing. On the one hand, social pressure has for millenia been the way that what, for want of a better term, one might call “good manners” have been enforced. On the other, we often wind up in Romeo-and-Juliet situations that can be pretty tragic. I suspect that it will be a while before we work out a livable balance between these two concerns; I’m hoping that it will be sooner rather than later.

Read it. Just in case you decide to run for President some day.

Read it. We all want one, of course.

Read it. A reminder of how Arab slave traders have been in business for a long time — and may be in business even today. Remember, the Koran explicitly condones slavery.

The study is interesting reading if only to remind oneself how crime is concentrated among a small minority of repeat offenders.

Can’t have profiling, though; that would be wrong.

Read it. Well, that’s what happens as socialists consolidate power. Better get used to it.

Read it. Steve Sailer talks about Shelby Steele talk about Barack Obama. Well, I guess you had to be there.

Read it. A very good illustration of the idiotarian nature of most do-gooders: They’d rather fail than succeed in a way that contradicts their a-priori political and economic beliefs.

Read it. Not a bad idea.

Read it. Take money from people who aren’t likely to vote for you and give it to people whose relatives probably will. Sounds like Democrats to me.

Read it. Why not? If the people who hate him hated me, I’d feel pretty good about myself.

Read it. Because too many parents don’t beat their kids when they do bad things. Kids who are beaten when they do bad things cease to do bad things, and eventually develop a habit of not doing bad things. From the habit of not doing bad things grows responsible citizenship.

Pain is nature’s way of saying “Stop doing that.” Those who waste such a gift deserve the results.

Leaders of the Seminole Tribe of Florida have spent millions of dollars from the group’s vast casino income on themselves and their relatives, a newspaper reported Sunday.

You would think they were in Congress or something.

Read it. The problem with Social Security is that it’s a defined-benefit, rather than a defined-contribution, plan. If you don’t know what that means, we discourage you from voting, because you’re too ignorant to be trusted with the franchise.
