Hey, Peggy Noonan, I Got Your Post-Racial Right Here [Dan Collins]

And it looks like ‘Zo. Here was Iowahawk’s take on Teh Pledge. Here’s the original abortion. Point/Counterpoint takes on the Israeli-Palestinian mess: Don’t get me wrong. It’s not like I love the Palestinians. After all, they’re Muslims, and all Muslims are trained to be suicide bombers at an early age. So, I don’t like that. Also, the way they pray frightens me, and their skin color is different from mine,

ACLU: Supermax Prison Too Harsh for Battlefield Detainees [Dan Collins]

Just as we predicted, it constitutes another form of torture. John Stephenson’s got the story at STACLU. Meanwhile, Cuba would like very much to have Guantanamo back, now that Jimmy Carter’s back in office.

It’s Not Me; It’s You [Dan Collins]

Bill Whittle’s gone over to Breitbart’s Big Hollywood. Iowahawk’s already there, though what the deal is with Anorak, I don’t know, and he’s got Bolus and his own place. Some of the other writers there are quite good. I think that Jeff would fit in well, as the interest there is in representation and he’s a bit of a pop culture maven. Richard Fernandez is the only regular voice that

You Have the Right to Your Disgruntlement [Dan Collins]

Or maybe, it’s like a gruntitlement: The massive recovery package has stirred consternation among Republicans who say their ideas are not being adequately considered. But Democrats have a comfortable majority in the House and stressed that fact in a talk with reporters. “If there is somebody who is disgruntled, so be it. But we will have an overwhelming vote,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said. She and more than a half-dozen

Guantanamo-Victimized Goatherd Turns Evil [Dan Collins]

From a story improbably datelined San Juan, Puerto Rico: Before he was released from Guantanamo, a Saudi detainee insisted he had only wanted to help refugees and was not a fighter. Now, as an al-Qaida field commander sporting a bandolier of bullets, he is threatening the United States and has been hailed by a militant Web site as a veteran guerrilla and “a fomenter of war.” I blame the System,

Our Mysterious Alleged CIA Date Rapist in Algiers [Dan Collins; UPDATE x2]

Why isn’t this guy’s name revealed in the article? The CIA’s station chief at its sensitive post in Algeria is under investigation by the U.S. Justice Department for allegedly raping at least two Muslim women who claim he laced their drinks with a knock-out drug, U.S. law enforcement sources tell ABC News. Officials say the 41-year old CIA officer, a convert to Islam, was ordered home by the U.S. Ambassador,

Erma Bombeck: a transhistorical reimagining for the progressive era

“If life is a bowl of cherries, where the fuck is my pie? “LIFE OWES ME SOME GODDAMNED PIE! AND I EXPECT IT, LIKE, YESTERDAY, PEOPLE!”

Enough of the Serious [Dan Collins]

She was hotter when she was a salt buffalo.

A Query and a Proposal [Dan Collins]

First, the query: Is Protein Wisdom at all pertinent without Jeff here?  TSI, Darleen, JHoward, the folks at the Pub and I have done our best to keep the ball rolling while Jeff’s been gone, but nobody at PJM will link to us, so pariahish have we become.  What, apart from begging for links, can we do to raise the profile of the site and better serve the faithful audience?

Obama’s Aunt Gives INS a Vacation [Dan Collins]

 The Homeland Security Department still is requiring high-level approval before federal immigration agents can arrest fugitives, a rule quietly imposed by the Bush administration days before the election of Barack Obama, whose aunt has been living in the United States illegally. The unusual directive from the Homeland Security Department came amid concerns that such arrests might generate “negative media or congressional interest,” according to a newly disclosed federal document obtained
