Waking the Giant is provoking escalation. Iowahawk urges calm.

Every week I take my son Aidan to a psychotherapy appointment in Montpelier, where he receives “play therapy” that is supposed to help him resolve issues arising out of his schizophrenia.  I’ve got an hour to kill, so I usually walk around town, visit the bookstores, etc.  Today, I went to Bear Pond Books in the very lefty capitol of Vermont.  I was hoping to pick up a certain volume

As you may be aware, Impolitic was stalking Jeff Goldstein after Jeff posted on Amanda’s new Edwards site, after Jeff stalked Amanda by posting there.  He proved it to his own satisfaction by quoting a definition from some dictionary, because, you know, definitions mustn’t be subject to any kind of interpretation.  They just are. So, perhaps it’s merely coincidental that on the heels of Amanda’s attempt to suppress evidence, which

Now that the IPCC has concluded with near certainty that global warming is a man-made phenomenon, expect to hear a whole lot of these kinds of lip-licking calls for government action —which, I have a hunch, won’t involve calls for the building of nuclear power plants so much as they will be calls for taxing gasoline or more closely regulating business: “The report, if anything tells politicians to act,’’ said

From the Daily Mail (UK): Attacks on Britain’s Jews have risen to the highest level since records began. A study published today shows the number of reported anti-Semitic incidents has almost tripled in 10 years, with more than half the attacks last year taking place in London. […] The Anti-Semitic Incidents Report 2006, compiled by the Community Security Trust (CST), responsible for combating anti-Semitism in the UK, blames the huge

Okay, not really.  In fact, it’s rather doubtful Hentoff even knows who Taylor Marsh is (Lord knows I didn’t before she singled me out as an “obtuse” opponent of the Fairness Doctrine)—though to be “fair”, it’s even more doubtful Hentoff knows who I am.  Of course, I don’t harbor pretensions of being some oppressed champion of Truth forced into the internet wilderness by a rightwing media conspiracy. But be that

What would it take to end the cycle of interblogger violence occasioned by Amanda’s ascension to Edwardian Blogatrix, at least here at PW (if you guys don’t mind my suggestion)?  One thing, and one thing only: Please apologize to the Duke Women’s Lacrosse Team. I’m not even asking that Amanda apologize to the guys.  They’re going to exact their apologies through the legal system (perhaps Edwards will take it on

She’s the only seller I use.  If you’re in the market for used panties, you can’t do better than Amy’s. OOPS!  This was meant to be a post about Wuzzadem’s shocking expose of Wingnuttery. Waking the Giant declares a blogwar on PW. Gee, Jeff likes Sarah Silverman, but some people just don’t get her.  Yahuda Thunkit?

Something I’ve blogged on elsewhere has re-emerged into the news with a new report out of some country called “Canada.” Study: China’s Army Harvesting Body Parts From Live Prisoners, Particularly Falun Gong Members Like many civilian hospitals in rural China, military hospitals turned to selling organs to make up for government funding cuts in the 1980s, the report said. But military personnel could operate with much more secrecy, it said.
