Make Room For Daddy

Shiloh Bucher’s excellent Dropscan calls the BBC’s willingness to examine the root causes of baby rape “a new low in Fiskism.” She then points us to Mark Steyn’s Opinion Journal article, “Hate-Me Crimes,” which draws a useful distinction between the transnational progressivist’s tendency to create elaborate narratives aimed at problematizing modalities of responsibility (in peoplespeak, turning black and white into shades gray), with the more modest impulse of reaching an

Bamboozled?

Clarence Page in Jewish World News takes a look at the role Hip-Hop culture played in Johnny bin Walker’s transformation from Marin County phatRapper to craggycrusty Islamofascist. A taste: Whiteness somehow lost its appeal for young John and, somewhere along the line, so did patriotism for America and allegiance to western culture. I’ve seen Walker’s type before. Black street culture, a byproduct of historical exclusion and oppression, has long offered

Geraldo’s War, Redux…

“Tora Bora,” Geraldo reports, means “black dust.” With “devilish Asian winds” whipping the sand and soot at upwards of 40 knots near the Tora Bora cave-and-tunnel complex, Geraldo has made what he’s calling a “command decision” to break camp. His mustache — dust crusted but still impeccably groomed — seems unfazed by the kind of harsh and sudden climate changes that have proven insurmountable to doomed invading armies over the

Geraldo’s War, Redux…

“Tora Bora,” Geraldo reports, means “black dust.” With “devilish Asian winds” whipping the sand and soot at upwards of 40 knots near the Tora Bora cave-and-tunnel complex, Geraldo has made what he’s calling a “command decision” to break camp. His mustache — dust crusted but still impeccably groomed — seems unfazed by the kind of harsh and sudden climate changes that have proven insurmountable to doomed invading armies over the

Sullivan’s Sentiment, & Hey, has anybody even checked Geraldo’s ‘stache?

Most of the time I find myself in agreement with Andrew Sullivan. But in his latest dish he includes this sentiment, delivered as a cautionary imperative: Killing bin Laden out of rage is not the correct response. We must not kill him because we are angry. We must kill him because it is just. Okay. But if some angry and motivated ‘Merkin soldier (or hell, howsabout Christiane Amanpour ?) were

That’s Where Rock ‘n’ Rall Dreams Come True…

The latest of Ted Rall’s feckless pap in the Village Voice. Reads like the perpetually moist stain in the crotch of my Gap khakis. Y’Know, I didn’t even know who Rall was until I saw him on “Politically Incorrect” a while back, but from what I remember of his appearance, he had this peculiar sidewise-glance-and-sneer combo he liked to trot out– a kind of perverse and tortured facial flourish —
