“A suicide bomber sprang from a car and detonated explosives at a bus stop in northern Jerusalem on Wednesday evening, killing at least six people and injuring about 35, according to police and rescue workers,” The AP reports. “It was the second lethal bombing in Jerusalem in as many days.

Kith and Kin
Today’s editorial in the Jerusalem Post quite fairly captures, I think, what many level-headed supporters of Israel are thinking in the wake of this latest wave of Palestinian terror attacks. Let there be no mistake: The United States and Europe could force Yasser Arafat to end his offensive by cutting off all ties and money until he does so. The United States has not chosen to do this, in large
Alter-nate Realities
Y’know, I’ve only gone over to Eric Alterman’s site twice since he began blogging (well, he and his attendant editors, I should say), but each time he’s managed to make my skin crawl (and no, it wasn’t just that…that picture of him, either — though one can make an argument that had paper sacks not already been invented…) No, today I popped over to Altercation to see what Mr. Apologist

My Last Word on Loopholes
Brian Linse follows up his original post on the (still non-existent) “gun show loophole” with a far more detailed post, one in which he essentially concedes that the “problem” with private gun show sales (insofar as such a problem exists — statistical evidence suggests none does, but Brian is arguing potentialities) is one of enforcement: […] personally, I would describe someone who sells regularly at gun shows with the objective
No wonder Bob Horner hated your guts, Teddy Yachtnut
Two glimpses into real-world fallout from years of over-indulging the PC impulse: Daniel Henninger’s “The East Germany of Our Souls” (from Friday’s “Opinion Journal”), and Lee Bockhorn’s “Selective Sanitizing” (from The Weekly Standard). [Related: Magnum Force is a decent flick, sure — but it’s not even in the same league as Don Siegel’s Dirty Harry. And of course, Ted Turner — in addition to being a censor — is a
