I really feel sorry for this guy. He went to Canada (that's not the part that I feel sorry aboot) and before he went, he got a quote on a data rate on his cell phone from Verizon of .002 cents per kilobyte. They ended up charging him .002 dollars per kilobyte. It's 20+ minutes […]
Jimmy Carter won't do the world a favor and shut his trap. He had an op-ed in Friday's Los Angeles Times and John Hinderaker does an excellent job of fisking it. He retails the same myth that John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt peddle: you can't have an honest discussion of the Middle East here in […]
I was a bit young to comprehend what a force Jeane Kirkpatrick was when she served as President Ronald Reagan's ambassador to the United Nations. But I did know who Kirkpatrick was -- she was the one who was having a torrid affair with Bill the Cat. Kirkpatrick will probably best be remembered for her […]
DNC Chairman Howard Dean has weighed in on the contested House race in Sarasota, Fla. -- and you shouldn't be surprised at what screamin' Howie says. Republican Vern Buchanan might be the official winner in a messy Sarasota-area congressional race, but Democratic National Committee chairman Howard Dean says the Democratic-controlled Congress should not seat Buchanan […]
Generally putting a math problem in front of a journalist elicits a similar level of understanding as putting a map in front of a monkey. This might explain, but doesn't excuse the British Broadcasting Corporation trying to sell this garbage. Schoolchildren in Caversham have become the first in the country to learn about a new […]
I'm impressed that the Los Angeles Times actually had the guts to print this. When Muslims conquer non-Muslim territories — such as Constantinople, not to mention all of North Africa, Spain and southwest Asia — those whom they have conquered as well as their descendants are not to expect any apologies, let alone political or […]
I just wanted to call attention to this gem from The New York Times in a article about Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert rejecting the Iraq Study Group's lamebrained contention that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is somehow linked to Iraq. In a speech last week, the prime minister said that if the Palestinians could form a […]
Unimpressive. That's the best that I can say about the Iraq Study Group report [PDF document] thus far. I've only read the executive summary and some various commentaries on the document, I hope to get to the remainder in the coming days Committees formed in Washington, D.C., typically don't solve problems -- they're an excuse […]
I haven't written much about New York Times columnist Paul Krugman in quite awhile because his voice largely dropped out of the public debate when that paper sealed his writings behind their pay wall. But I want to give you a couple of quick Krugmania links. First, Jon Henke notes that Paul Krugman is predicting […]
Honestly, I want to be done with the Worst. President. Ever. But the guys over at Powerline posted this letter from the until-very-recently Middle East Fellow of the Carter Center of Emory University. This note is to inform you that yesterday, I sent letters to President Jimmy Carter, Emory University President Jim Wagner, and Dr. […]
