Obama's shame

My first instinct was to add the category "abortion" to this post, but that wouldn't have accurate. What we're talking about here isn't abortion. It's infanticide -- and Sen. Barack Obama, it turns out, is not that bothered by it. I mentioned several months ago that Obama had voted against a bill as an Illinois […]

Russia vs. Georgia

This isn't about the Olympics. This is about what to do about Russia's invasion of Georgia and its attempt to overthrow its democratically-elected government. Direct military action is something we should avoid, but the Washington Post's Charles Krauthammer has some substantive actions we can take that can hurt the expansionist Russians.

Summer vacation

The dearth of posting this week has been due to my all-too-short summer vacation. I've been doing some home-improvement projects. Nothing major, because I'm not exactly a whiz with power tools.

If they commanded the sun to rise...

...and it did -- as it tends to do -- they would take credit for it. It was a bad crisis for the world. It required tough words but also a smart approach to call on the international community to step in. And I’m very, very happy that the Senator’s [Barack Obama's] request for a […]

The inanity of Obama

From Barack Obama's Berlin speech: That is why the greatest danger of all is to allow new walls to divide us from one another. Right about now I don't think that the Georgians think the "greatest danger of all" is "walls to divide us from one another."

How quickly the Pharisees forget

For the mainstream media, supermarket tabloids like the National Enquirer are the strippers to the MSM's prima ballerinas -- it's not that the strippers are doing anything illegal, but it's base and unseemly. Moliere famously likened writing to prostitution: "First you do it for love, and then for a few close friends, and then for […]

Upgrade time

If you've visited the site in the last hour, you will have noticed some intermittent oddness. It was the result of an upgrade to the latest version of WordPress (the blogging software that runs Hoystory). At the same time I updated a couple of plug-ins that turned out not to be quite compatible with the […]
