George Will doesn’t like John McCain any more than I do. Unfortunately, Will has been in Washington too long; he has swallowed the Democrat line that the Congress runs foreign policy, not the President. Perhaps it’s his academic background in political science. Perhaps it’s because he went to Princeton, where there’s apparently something in the water. (How else do you explain Woodrow Wilson?)

Read it. Of course, some of us think “NGO” and “bad” are redundant.

The primary problem is that what we think of as “corruption” is what most of the world thinks of as “family duty”. And our regressives are too foolish to cope with any outlook other than their own.

Read it. Unlike the Russians, the Chinese have been doing this sort of thing for thousands of years. They are very, very good at it.

Tyler Cowan has some good advice.

David Friedman is always worth reading.

Read it. Hey, certain types of Americans can be bought, and the Saudis have a lot of spare cash. Think of it as an investment in the future. Remember the movie Network?

Research suggested that such a copyright would effectively kill the fashion industry.

Hm. Is that a bug or a feature?

To any right thinking person, it should be clear that no copyright is needed. And, yet, Congress moves forward with the effort.

And that about sums up everything you need to know about modern American politics.

Read it. I’d love to see a corresponding headline “Bush presses U.N. chief on corruption”, but I’m not holding my breath waiting for it.

Read it. Like watching a snowman melt in the sun.

The five leaders from Africa and South America said they could not share communion with Episcopal bishops who in 2003 consecrated V. Gene Robinson as bishop of New Hampshire.

The technical term for this is “schism”. Let’s see how long they can dance around it without actually using the term. I predict years, if not decades.

Read it. David Friedman is always worth reading.

Read it. Talking to the New York Times? Doesn’t sound like Rush to me….

Read it. If you’ve lost Wal*Mart, you’ve lost America.

Boy, that didn’t take long. HD DVD: From hero to zero in record time.

Read it. Trust a Democrat to be anti-free-trade and mistake it for patriotism. The fact that it encourages the government to stick its nose further into your life is just a bonus.

Read it. Interesting, if it actually works.

Read it. And the hits just keep on comin’.

Read it. At last — a home for the People of the Crust.

Ever wonder what sort of stuff Mencius Moldbug would write for The Onion? Well, now you don’t have to.

I suspect that people with anger management issues wouldn’t want to put a fist through this wall.

Just a thought.

Watch it.

Read it. Apparently so.

Read it.

Read it. “Best”, that is, from the standpoint of the employee. Worst from the standpoint of the employer — which is why they’re in jeopardy. Duh.

Read it. Yeah, places where the People of the Crust don’t congregate.

Read it. When was the drive-by media ever so reticent about threats to free speech? Apparently regressive politics trumps free speech every time.

Inside Politics.

Inside the Beltway.

Inside the Ring.

Read it. Think of it as evolution in action.

Read it. God forbid we should proceed with clean, non-polluting energy without jumping through all of the bureaucratic hoops established by the government.

Read it. The Europeans would step right up; that’s less than they’re paying for gas right now. The anti-nuke regressives would hyperventilate and pass out. Win-win!

Read it. I’m shocked, I tell you, shocked.

George Will really doesn’t like the Clintons. Not that I blame him.

Inside the Beltway. 

Check it out.

Read it. There are an amazing number of hate-filled moonbats in Berkeley. Could we not trade Berkeley to the Chinese for, say, Hong Kong? I’d be willing to throw in Seattle and Beverly Hills to sweeten the pot.

Read it. Apparently the fact that it’s a Communist dictatorship responsible for the deaths and mutilation of millions of their own people doesn’t bother him, but God forbid it should put him on the outs with his Hollywood friends.

Regarding which, you think that they would catch on after a while that a Communist dictatorship is going to act like, well, a Communist dictatorship.

Read it. And about time, too.

Read it.

Read it. I guess attrition works, huh.

Of course, to the New York Times this is a bad thing.

1. Thank God you don’t live in Britain.
2. Without eternal vigilance, it could happen here.

Reminder for the dim-witted: Islam is an oppressive totalitarian ideology with which no co-existence is possible.

Read it. Guess that old McCain-Feingold law didn’t really succeed in keeping the money out of politics, did it?

Read it. A clever trick, if they can do it.

Read it. What will they think of next?

Watch it. I really don’t like John McCain.
