That “unbelievably small” effort in Syria … [Darleen Click]

… is, of course, never to involve “boots on the ground.” Right? The White House and the Pentagon have repeatedly ruled out “boots on the ground” in Syria, but Defense Department officials were less certain Thursday on whether U.S. military personnel might be sent to help secure or destroy Syria’s chemical weapons. Pentagon Press Secretary George Little gave a vague answer when asked if U.S. troops were prepared to assist

Water water everywhere, and not a drop to drink

The supreme irony of flood waters taking out water lines and making usable water unavailable is not lost on me. Fortunately, as a proud knuckledragging member of Crackerado’s prepper contingency, I think I have a 4-pack of San Pellegrino left over from one of the “demean the darkies” TEA Party meetings we held at my house recently. So I’m good.

“Indiana case may become Big Labor’s newest weapon”

Fundamental transformation, aided by robed philosopher kings whose word is law. Like Gods! But hey, stop pushing those Levin liberty amendments, Hobbity Visigoths. Or bringing up federalism or amendment conventions. Those are just kooky throwback Klansman wetdreams, the very terms larded with unhelpful historical baggage — and worse, they are likely to frighten off the moderates and independents that, starting with McCain’s victory and culminating in the Romney presidency, keep

Speaking of conservative victimology over phony cries of religious oppression

— because let’s face it, that’s how the liberals sell it, and more and more, “sophisticated” Republicans who claim to be conservative scoff right along with the left — here’s another example of whining by some orthodox religious kook upset that he wasn’t permitted to wear his kippah in court: A Jewish man was barred from participating in his own trial after a circuit court judge removed him from the

“School Punishes Little Girl For Writing About God”

The actual God that religious people believe in.  Had she written about her admiration for the State, that would be okay — and would be akin, in the minds of progressive educators, to expressing an admiration for God, only a more palatable one, the kind that promotes conformity and communism and whose angels wander the earth with bad haircuts wearing bureaucratic badges. Warner Todd Huston: Remember this: liberal education policy

“Postpone Obamacare compromise the only plan that might work”

Let’s face it: if the GOP leadership can’t both accept this and then push it as a compromise, then what I’ve been saying for a year or so now is true: the GOP establishment really wants ObamaCare, because like the progressives, they are themselves big government statists looking to control a nation of subjects rather than represent a nation of free men and women. That is, they embrace tyranny —

Wet. Very, very, very wet.

Journalists (sic) drop the veil [Darleen Click]

1953 — my father, now 85, was fresh out of the Army (having been recalled for Korea), started working in the newspaper business in Los Angeles. First at The Citizen News, later for The Examiner (leaving when they merged with The Herald). While he worked the advertising side, he frequented the newsroom and got to know many of the reporters. He also got me started, when I was 10, on

Pwned! Putined! [Darleen Click]

Victor Davis Hanson on Putin’s letter in the New York Times If it were regrettable that Vladimir Putin’s formidable diplomatic skills were wasted squashing rather than ensuring freedom inside Russia, it seems even more lamentable that his impressive prose likewise is not put to better use. Putin’s letter to us, the American people, is brilliant sophistry. The best rhetoric is always that which blends truth with half-truth and occasional fiction.
