Ezra Levant was the publisher of the Western Standard magazine in Canada in Feb. 2006 when he published the infamous Danish Muhammed cartoons. Last Friday, Levant appeared before Alberta, Canada's "Human Rights Commission" to answer charges that he hurt the feelings of a couple of Muslims. He's uploaded videos of his interrogation to YouTube -- […]

In an interview Monday, Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the joint chiefs, said he was in favor of closing down the terrorist detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. There are good reasons to shut down Gitmo, and there are bad reasons. Good reason: All terrorist detainees have been given a fair trial and a public […]

New York Times Public Editor Clark Hoyt addressed the decision by that paper to hire Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol to write a weekly column. Much of Hoyt's column is critical of the decision, but he doesn't go as far as the fever swamp left as to suggest that hiring Kristol was beyond the pale. […]

As a former subscriber to Ms. Magazine, I must say that I'm not much surprised that the magazine of 1960s feminism saw fit to reject the worlds most harmless ad. Ms. Magazine is apparently only in favor of acknowledging women's achievements as long as they aren't Jooooze! From the American Jewish Congress: When Director of […]

I had no idea! Actually, that's a lie. I did know that -- and I also know that as a conservative Republican, the color of Obama's skin matters not one whit as to whether or not I'd vote for or against him. Democrats, on the other hand, are apparently a bunch of bigots because Obama […]

If I continue to work overtime at the current clip, then I might be able to buy this in 2040. That's Panasonic's 150-inch […]

If this is how they "think," then I wouldn't trust any of the members of The New York Times editorial board to edit an eye chart. Check out today's editorial on a Supreme Court case to determine whether or not lethal injection is a cruel and unusual punishment, banned by the Eighth Amendment. (Orin Kerr […]

I saw this story from the Portland Oregonian after it came over the wires. It's a profile of Bill Hamilton, a sort-of atheist who famously proclaimed in an essay for Playboy magazine back in 1966 that God was dead. Reading the profile, it's really hard not to feel sorry for Hamilton -- a man of […]

And that appears to be the case even when the business owner is a big time bleeding heart lefty like Wendy McCaw. A federal judge ruled last week that McCaw, the owner of the Santa Barbara News-Press, violated federal labor laws when she fired eight employees. The Santa Barbara Independent has a report on the […]
