This is an old story, and I’ve probably written on it before, but it bears repeating.  From Defense Tech: Here’s the situation: the U.S. Army is short on bullets. And only two companies can supply ‘em. One’s in East Alton, Illinois. The other’s in Israel. That’s a problem, American lawmakers say. The Army, back in December, inked a $70 million deal with Israel Military Industries Ltd. for small-caliber ammunition. But

Please tune in today to “Hoist the Black Flag” on Rightalk. The show begins at 4:05 pm EST, 1:05 pacific. Today’s guest is Michelle Malkin, one of the blogosphere’s most candid and divisive figures.  Which is why I love her so much, even when we disagree on certain social issues. Oh.  And sadly, I STILL don’t have the broadcast equipment, so I’ll be doing the show from a telephone.  Again. 

Finally, a fulfilling follow-up to a story about an academic who presumed she must destroy the First Amendment in order to save it.  From the AP: A college professor has been put on leave and will retire at the end of the semester after admitting she told students to destroy an anti-abortion display on campus. Sally Jacobsen, a professor in the literature and language department at Northern Kentucky University, will

Featuring Mr Potato head.  Me, I’d have used my Ann Coulter action figure and some kitten photos— but that would have opened me up to charges of being derivative.  So I’m glad I took a pass.

After all, why should Hamas have all the fun? Can’t a country to whom the US provides $2 billion in aid yearly have a favorable opinion of blowing up Israelis, too?  From the Jerusalem Post: An Egyptian state-controlled newspaper praised Monday’s suicide attack in Tel Aviv, which killed nine people and wounded dozens, calling it an act of sacrifice and martyrdom. Egypt has always taken pains to condemn the violence

Yale alum and proprietor of the Nail Yale blog, Clint Taylor, emails to say that Yale looks to be manuevering to save face and rid itself, by way of a change in its special students program standards, of former Taliban mouthpiece, Sayed Rahmatullah Hashemi. Of paramount importance to Yale, one suspects, is not looking like they caved to pressure from knuckledragging xenophobes like Taylor and other judgmental western hegemons on

Those politicos and anti-war types who’ve staked their reputations on the “Bush Lied” meme have got to be getting nervous as more and more of the Saddam archives get translated and made public. Here, for instance, via Powerline (h/t Dave Price), is the translated text of a Top Secret memo, which begins with this introduction by the translator, jveritas: Document ISGP-2003-0001498 contains a 9 page TOP SECRET memo (pages 87-96

”Knock knock” “Who’s there?” ”David Neiwert.”* “Shit!  Quick, somebody hide the rope and the gasoline-soaked crosses.  And for Chrissakes, take off that hood, would you, Buford? I think he may be on to us…”

When I read about guys like this—only to find out that they blog (and read other blogs with which many of us are familiar)—it makes me wonder how many killers and would-be cannabilizing child eaters are reading my site. I mean, is it really possible that I—like Dave Barry—can drive some of my readers to murder a girl and ready her for a barbecue supper spread?  Because that’s power, man…

From the Jerusalem Post: ‘We are at war,” declares Maj.-Gen. Yitzhak “Haki” Harel, head of the IDF’s Planning Directorate and a senior member of the IDF General Staff, who is retiring in a few months after 31 years of military service. The Palestinian Authority, he says in an exclusive interview with The Jerusalem Post, has been taken over by a group of Hamas terrorists and murderers, and the IDF’s current
