A day after the explosions that killed well over a hundred in Pakistan, we are confronted with this news?

Not really sure what to make of the political bent of this argument, so I’ll leave it to you all to tease out. From The Movie Blog, “Why Commercials Before Movies Is Worse Than Piracy”: We’ve all figured that commercials playing in movie theaters was worth a lot of money… but did you realize its worth almost HALF A BILLION DOLLARS? The IMDB gives us this: Revenue from in-theater advertising

Per Michelle Malkin, some Hillaryites have close connections with a shadowy group called NXIVM.   She reproduces some of their bilge: NXIVM is a new ethical understanding that allows us to build an internal civilization and have it manifest in the external world. It allows us to explore our most fundamental nature and to begin to redirect our power of creation, a power that we all possess in a very human sense.

…make $2.1 million in lemonade, donate it to the Marine Corps, then sit back and watch as Harry Reid goes from gray-skinned opportunist to, like, grayer skinned opportunist. Final score: Capitalism 1, Reid, et al, still trying to find their way through the maze of tunnels to the stage. “HELLO CLEVELAND!”

First, here’s John Podheretz, writing in NRO’s The Corner: “Immigration Is Incompatible With a Modern Society” So sayeth Mark Krikorian. Thank you, Mark. You have written honest words. And this is where I came in. Nearly four years ago, speaking out in modest support for the original Bush proposal on immigration, I was hammered by John Derbyshire and others for not understanding the profound difference between LEGAL IMMIGRATION (good) and

Scores dead, hundreds wounded. Probably just some jihadis upset over Kyoto stalemates and subprime lending. Or Maybe Bhutto was caught reading “My Pet Goat” while the Towers fell. So difficult to tell sometimes what sets these folks off. **** Michelle Malkin has more.

From what I can gather, Rhodes was mugged by 14 Ketel-One Bloody Marys — which, given that she might have been enjoying those libations in the evening — makes her mugging completely antithetical to conservatism. I mean, what Buckleyite would

In response to my post “Al Qaeda reported crippled in Iraq,” La Rana, in a post entitled “Dumb people La Rana reads for some reason,” attempts a brisk fisking [portions of my original post I’ll place in italics]: Jeff Goldstein is smart enough to identify some of the arguments that obliterate the rationale for the War On Terror, but not smart enough to do anything but wriggle around and throw

If you happen to be a Democrat politico, it’s like a grievance group steel cage match! Early returns have the “gendereds” leading the “of colors” by a widening margin. I suspect this has something to do with the essentialism of sex trumping the construct of race — though I suspect Dr Watson, were he queried, might try to poke such supposition with a set of rudimentary utensils and a makeshift

Well, it’s finally happened. My first run in with our HOA. And the The Covenant. Seems the outside of my back fence (a 6-foot wood plank job), which borders a dead end street and is contiguous to an open brush field, has become the breeding ground for some broadleaf and tumble weed. I’ve sprayed the area and pulled the weeds twice this summer — it’s a considerable stretch, but nothing
