…one of my favorites of which details the adventures of a secretive cult of swinging dwarfs trained in aikido (合気道) and the black arts of diabolism whose appetite for crime fighting is matched only by a voracious appetite for cocaine, amyl nitrate, and the ladies. Of course, I’m a hypermasculinist weenie boy, so my enjoyments are terribly predictable. Seriously. Some professor should write a column.

Let us not allow a few inconvenient facts get in the way of a perfectly good (and long-standing) leftist hypothesis about terrorism’s “root causes”. After all, such “evidence” only indexes the “fallacy of proof” that the (conservative) bourgeois ruling class has traditionally used to maintain the status quo — and to push a dubious and politically-tinged philosophical paradigm that insists, ludicrously, that rationality and objectivity should somehow retain privileged epistemological

“A victory for disfranchised Mississippi voters — and they happen to be white.” From John Fund, WSJ: Last week a federal district judge found direct evidence that the political machine in Noxubee County, Miss., had discriminated against voters with the intent to infringe their rights and that “these abuses have been racially motivated.” Among the abuses catalogued by Judge Tom Lee were the paying of notaries public to visit voters

Question: is it “normal” for a small boy to chase and try to catch birds? Because every child development manual I’ve consulted pointedly ignores the subject — except to note, peripherally, that should my son manage actually to catch the thing and, for example, bite its stupid bird head off before using the petrified beaktip to carve a swastika in his forehead and recruit a cult of libertine hippie chicks

Michael Yon has just posted a report of an entire farming village liquidated by al-Qaeda “fighters” in anticipation of the arrival of American forces. I think that it will be instructive to compare the number of column inches devoted to this with those devoted to Haditha. Of course, they may just be voicing their frustration with the declining numbers of civilian deaths in June, the poor dears. Meanwhile, Zimbabwe’s top

Even as the London terror siege appears to be ramping up — and even though new prime minister Gordon Brown and his cohort acknowledge that what Britain is witnessing is, in fact, the work of terrorists with “Asian” ties (which, in Brit speak, means “Pakistani,” perhaps of the potentially home-grown variety) — former CIA member and DU hero Larry Johnson, along with his smarmy, truthy media enabler Keith Olbermann, spent

As I’ve argued since the very beginning of the push for amnesty for illegal immigrants, this is a test of sovreignty.  Having lived and worked in Mexico for a considerable time, I certainly compassionate the people.  But the fact is that emigration to the United States has permitted the Mexican government for decades to continue abusing its own people.  Where there is no trust, there can be no real commerce,

From CBS:  A CBS News poll shows Americans are increasingly dissatisfied with the Iraq war, President Bush and the Congress, as well as the overall direction of the country. More Americans than ever before, 77 percent, say the war is going badly, up from 66 percent just two months ago. Nearly half, 47 percent, say it’s going very badly. While the springtime surge in U.S. troops to Iraq is now
