…and I’m wondering:  should I stick to my guns and use my real name and identity?  Or should I throw on a nice pair of kibbutz-crafted sandals and some knitted bracelets and try to convince everyone I’m the tambourinist for the Indigo Girls? Because here’s my dilemma:  in the first case, I exhibit intellectual honesty, and I’m able to salvage whatever integrity one can possibly salvage for having admitted to

Please tune in today to “Hoist the Black Flag” on Rightalk. The show begins at 4:05 pm EST, 1:05 pacific. Today’s guests are, uh, well…your phonecalls, maybe?  And Ace mentioned something about a short appearance by Bizzyblog.  And Robert from Olbermann Watch. Oh.  And sadly, I STILL don’t have the broadcast equipment, so I’ll be doing the show from a cordless telephone.  Again.  Which explains my tinny, nasally voice.  And

From Reason‘s “Brickbats,” July 2006 print edition: New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg wants devices placed on vehicles that would light up if they exceed the speed limit.  Bloomberg got the idea from Singapore, where all taxis and trucks are so equipped. …and where the canes run on time. Evidently, Bloomberg has become so used to being chaffeured about that he’s either forgotten (or never knew) that there are times

From yesterday’s Opinion Journal BOTW, “Pals No More?”: “New public opinion surveys conducted among ‘opinion elites’ in Europe show that support for the Palestinians has fallen precipitously,” according to a fascinating report in the Jerusalem Post. The surveys, conducted by Stanley Greenberg, an American Democrat who has also worked for Israel’s former prime minister Ehud Barak, found that attitudes had changed most dramatically in France: Three years ago, 60 percent

Cathy Young’s update “on the move by British educators and Canadian public employees to boycott Israeli institutions” highlights some disturbing behavior from the American Association of University Professors, including remarks made by chair of the AAUP Committee on Academic Freedom, Joan C. Scott. I’d tell you what that disturbing behavior is, but coming from a “Goldstein,” you probably wouldn’t believe me, anyway.  Or at least, you’ll want to wait for

*must credit protein wisdom* I’m not sure how much credence to give this—after all, Leopold has been about as effective in his reporting as Arianna Huffington’s been at convincing people she’s ever even seen a corn dog—but if there’s the slightest whiff of truth to it, this could keep Geraldo and Greta employed for another couple of months.  And anything that does that is like manna from heaven, man.  Sent

“People ask me all the time, ‘Cindy?  Do you support the murderous killbots manufactured by our military to wage wars for profit at the behest of a Jewish cabal secretly controlling world goverment?’ And my answer is always the same:  I support only those troops who don’t themselves support the exploitation of the Iraqi people, and who won’t allow the war profiteers to carry on with their death and destruction

Were Dick Nixon still alive, would he be able to stand the irony?  Or would his head simply pop like a “Camelot” champagne cork…? (h/t Craig C) **** update:  Oh my!  Keith Olbermann’s going to have a lot of hate to spread around among those Dems who are wandering off the reservation… (h/t IP)

AJ Strata and John Stephenson discuss the likely roles played by both the NSA and FISA in the recently revealed breakup of a major terror attack plan in Canada. But that’s only because AJ Strata and John Stephenson, by even presuming to broach the subject, have no compunction whatsoever about revealing themselves some of the worst enemies of American values alive. At least, I think so.  Still waiting on word
