Lefty broadcaster Amy Goodman steps away from the mic to tap out some global warming hysteria for the proletariat: The floodwaters are rising, swamping cities, breaching levees. Tens of thousands are displaced. Many are dead. No, I am not talking about Hurricane Katrina, but about the Midwest United States. As the floodwaters head south along the Mississippi, devastating communities one after another, the media are overflowing with televised images of the

Because of him, we now know that ethnicity isn’t necessarily destiny. Wow!  Really?

Matthew and family, having survived another scare, are about to move into a new condo and make the following request: If anyone out there has any Kids DVD’s or Christian books that you no longer need, or any good non fiction books, we could us them for the condo. We are trying to get a good size library started here. Our address: 2121 El Paseo #1911, Houston, TX 77054 Shira,

Lots of interesting discussion in yesterday’s post on the (still debatable) cause or causes of homosexuality, but much of it has gotten away from the original premise. So I’ve decided to see if I can’t focus the discussion by reintroducing the question in a slightly different way: If it is determined that homosexuality is biologically determined, the proof for such a determination would have to reside in identifying the determinant

Some cretin criticizes Jeff for . . . hell, I don’t know.  But his point is . . . hell, I don’t know.

They think that they’re running against some academic liberal who wouldn’t wear flag pins on his lapel, whose wife isn’t proud of America and who went to some liberationist church where the pastor damned his own country. They think they’re running against some naïve university-town dreamer, the second coming of Adlai Stevenson. What, in

Using dodgy stats, a new voice at The Impolitic tells us it’s all about the demand side of the equation, and only the demand side.  Moreover, it’s only about the American demand side of the equation. I ridiculed Obama’s lack of a realistic energy policy to a friend while I was in Wisconsin.  He stated that perhaps it would be better if he were no longer able to drive.  Of course,

This week’s back-and-forth among Barack Obama, John McCain and the press over Obama’s statements about what due process rights the detainees at Guantanamo Bay ought to have — and whether it reflects a 9/10 mindset on Obama’s part — misses a larger point. Prof. Ann Althouse struck closer to the mark with her dissection of Obama’s comments, noting the degree to which they represent Obama’s effort to not reveal his stance

Chatter says Hezbollah preparing to attack “Jewish targets” outside of Middle East: “They cannot have an operation fail,” said Baer, “and I don’t think they will. They’re the A-team of terrorism.” Photoshop op.  Jawa has thoughts on the matter. For the shrunken trucker on your gift list.
