I stopped watching the Grammys years ago, but sometimes there are performances that just bring down the house … Annie Lennox just keeps getting better.

Another reboot? Man from U.N.C.L.E. [Darleen Click]
Trailer for The Man from U.N.C.L.E. on TrailerAddict. I really don’t know how to feel about this. I lived for the original Man from U.N.C.L.E. with all the passion a girl, 10 to 14 y/o, could bring (the original ran from 1964 to 1968 – after it went off the air I embraced Star Trek). I wore black turtle neck sweaters and wore my trench coat at the first indication

“If you like your internet …” oh F&% it, this song is played way too long [Darleen Click]
If not the FCC, then Leftists are out to use the FEC to SHUT UP!! the disagreeing and disagreeable. Claiming that thousands of public comments condemning “dark money” in politics can’t be ignored, the Democrat-chaired Federal Election Commission on Wednesday appeared ready to open the door to new regulations on donors, bloggers and others who use the Internet to influence policy and campaigns. During a broad FEC hearing to discuss

51 years ago today … [Darleen Click]
Holy moly Ed Sullivan was the show to watch on Sunday, especially for us after dinner at my grandparent’s home. I very much remember watching this broadcast and thinking “eh, I like The Four Seasons better.” I was only 9.

“First they came for the Jews …” [Darleen Click]
How illiberal and hateful (but I repeat myself) can Leftist students get? Beyond parody … Inside, the anti-Israel students also voted to support a boycott of the U.S., among other countries, through a second Resolution calling for divestment from American, Mexican, Russian, Turkish, Indonesian, Brazilian, Sri Lankan, and Egyptian government bonds. As to the U.S., the grounds for divestment were: WHEREAS, The government of the United States of America is

Crowd-sourcing your non-existent inner polymath [bh]
When I was young I chased every random thought that came along. Isn’t Spanish guitar amazing? Maybe I should waste a week or two embarrassing myself. Russian novelists are interesting in a way that demands an attention to the language itself. Maybe I should learn a couple dozen nouns and adopt the sadly amorphous verb conjugation of an out-of-town man asking how one should best bus or automobile or steel

It takes someone with a PhD in psychology who studies gender to say something so utterly clueless about human sexuality [Darleen Click]
Peggy Dexler, author of a book which celebrates “Raising Boys without Men” … (future prison guards will appreciate her contribution to their job security) … writes about the horrible contribution to the scourge of the “male gaze” that is swimsuit issue of Sports Illustrated This year, though, Sports Illustrated has gone too far. In the photo, Davis eager pulls down her bikini bottom and thrusts forward her pelvis in a

“If you like your internet, you can keep your internet” [Darleen Click]
Of course, you don’t get to see IWonPenPhone’s 322-page plan for government regulation seizure of the internet until after the FCC Commission vote … Here is President Obama's 332-page plan to regulate the Internet. I wish the public could see what's inside. pic.twitter.com/bwwAsk8ZiB — Ajit Pai (@AjitPaiFCC) February 6, 2015 “President Obama’s plan marks a monumental shift toward government control of the Internet. It gives the FCC the power to

The shredding of Gabriel Malor: “To say that the Supreme Court is the final arbiter of the U.S. Constitution overthrows constitutionalism itself” [Darleen Click]
Paul DeHart In a recent article, Gabriel Malor rakes Mike Huckabee over the coals. Huckabee’s sin? In an interview on Hugh Hewitt’s radio show, Huckabee rejected judicial supremacy. Huckabee says the courts can neither make nor enforce law. The context of his comments concern the ruling of federal courts on the matter of same-sex marriage and on the rights of states to resist what he considers judicial overreach. I haven’t
