…the latest installment of Pajamas Media’s “Blog Week in Review” with Austin Bay is now available.  The guests were neo-neocon and yours truly—discussing a number of issues, from “identitarianism” to the Plame case to Cpl Sanchez and his GAY PORN COCK OF NON-CHICKENHAWKISH LIES. For those of you not interested, well, there’s always the NCAA Tournament. Personally, I’ve been out all day with the wife and kid and have yet

Another Kennedy docu-drama born of newly discovered FBI files: The FBI report says Kennedy had promised Monroe he would divorce his wife and marry her, but the actress eventually realised he had no intention of doing so. About this time, he had told her not to worry about 20th Century Fox cancelling her contract – “he would take care of everything”. When nothing happened, she called him at work and

John Tierney has an article on different theories as to why women laugh more in the company of men than men do in the company of women.  Commenter TallDave says it has to do with sex, and I’m inclined to agree, because if I can get a woman to throw her head back and show her tonsils . . . Anyway, that’s a subject that seems to me appropriate for

Leftie blogger Jesus’ General is planning a bit of Second Life political theater, and needs a couple of volunteers: Political Theater in Virtual Reality My Inner Frenchman says he is preparing an interesting bit of political theater at Second Life. For those of you who are unfamiliar with Second Life, it’s a virtual reality world that’s kind of like the Sims, but with real people playing (millions of them) the

Tom Maguire has all the highlights from the Plame / Waxman show hearings—including a bit on the media coverage, a predictable portion of which has been contemptuously misleading. A few things to take away, for those of you too lazy to click over:  1) Plame refers to herself as “covert,” though she admits she doesn’t know her own legal status—remarkable three years on, particularly when viewed in the context of

Singaporean expansionism. Thanks to furriskey for the correction. God bless cranky Polish ladies: In a small, mountainside Koniakow home with apple trees running down the slope out back, Anna Barska, Elzbieta Kukuczka and Krystyna Kajzer sit on a couch stitching small circular patterns for new thongs under a picture of the late Polish-born Pope John Paul II. “It pays more to make thongs,” said Barska, her fingers rapidly stitching blue

From Richard Miniter, Washington editor for Pajamas Media: The U.S. is in serious discussions with commanders of the Mahdi Army to lay down their arms, an intelligence officer directly involved in Iraq operations told Pajamas Media Tuesday. The American intelligence official spoke under the condition of anonymity, citing the sensitivity of the issue. The Mahdi Army, a predominantly Shia Muslim force led by Moqter al-Sadr, has terrorized Sunnis into fleeing

From the RMN wire reports: Supected members of extremist groups have signed up as school bus drivers in the United States, counterterror officials said Friday in a cautionary bulletin to police. An FBI spokesman said, “Parents and children have nothing to fear.” Asked about the alert notice, the FBI’s Rich Kolko said, “There are no threats, no plots and no history leading us to believe there is any reason for

…to John Dodds for “The Outer Limits” Season 2 DVD.  Awesome show.  The original, I mean.  The remake?  Not so much.  Thanks, too, to Todd Day for the Casino Royale DVD.  My wife and I watched it last night and are split on Daniel Craig as Bond.  I liked him.  She—at least initially—misses the flaccid smoothness of Pierce Brosnan.  But I suspect that will pass. Also, thanks to those of

Who has accepted a position as Political Director for Blog Talk Radio.  He’s an excellent choice, and he’s going to continue to post at Captain’s Quarters.  Godspeed. Now, do you suppose there might be a chance for Jeff to do a program On Language there? Thanks for asking.  Well, here in Vermont, the snow’s coming down pretty heavily.  We’ll have over a foot, by all indications, by the time I
