What Are You Doing Here? [Dan Collins]

Go over to the Pub to enjoy dicentra handing David Weisman his . . . head.

The Great Moments in BDS [Dan Collins]

Everyone will have their own–the one that jumps into my head is that jackass chasing Malkin around and threatening her. Since I don’t have anything else to offer up at the moment, please share yours in the comments. That’s not entirely true, but I didn’t want to go off about how absurd the notion of a new declaration of independence coming from nanny-state Obama is. Because it’s Saturday Night. People

I Will Build My Love a Bower [Dan Collins]

by yon pure crystal fountain, and upon it I will pile all the flowers of the mountain: Will you go, lassie, go? One of my favorite tunes is the Scottish “Wild Mountain Thyme.” I know it principally from The Byrds’ version (performed creditably here), and the a capella version by Celtic Quest. Some versions, such as the latter, give it an almost villanelle structure, which is most hypnotic. If you’ve

Joke on us, son [Dan Collins; UPDATED]

Joe Conason, last seen threatening anyone who said that Al Franken was trying to steal the Minnesota senatorial election with a libel lawsuit in the UK, explains the real reason that Holder suggested Clinton pardon Marc Rich, and it turns out that the Jooooos apparently made a Rich pardon a precondition for peace talks with the PLO: Meanwhile the fugitive financier, as he is still known, has never returned from

What Is It With You People? [Dan Collins]

Just let the man eat his waffle! As his predecessor, President Bush, said his final goodbyes to America on national television, President-elect Barack Obama and his wife Michelle dined at the DC restaurant, Equinox Thursday night. CBS News’ Maria Gavrilovic, who waited outside the restaurant, reports that there is no indication whether or not Mr. Obama was watching President Bush’s farewell remarks. The President-elect departed the Blair house, located right

Who Miscalculated? [Dan Collins]

The Left have made a lot of noise about the Israeli’s “miscalculating” in their assault on Hamas, hoping that the propaganda about hearts and minds will be a self-fulfilling prophecy. This is why they’re so stunned that Israeli support for the campaign is so high. Here’s an interesting perspective, via Weasel Zippers: Two captured terrorists interviewed by Maariv/NRG say that Hamas was not expecting Israel’s response to the escalation in

Andrew Wyeth is Dead [Dan Collins]

He was no Ricardo Montalban*, but he was a great artist nevertheless. *I mean, what could be more authentic than real Corinthian leather? Do you really want to make him cry? They can’t get no satisfaction. More on Eric Holder’s FALN pardonees My daughter calls it the eggnoguration.

Francesca Segal Doesn’t Feel Safe, Part Deux [Dan Collins]

She’s the Jewish woman in the UK that we mentioned a few days ago. Via Weasel Zippers, comes this latest incident from France: France’s interior ministry says masked thieves who attacked a young man east of Paris to steal his car repeatedly stabbed him after noticing he was wearing a Jewish symbol. Interior Minister Michele Alliot-Marie has condemned the “revolting attack” in the suburban town of Fontenay-sous-Bois and says authorities

Beslan and Hamas [Dan Collins]

Via thor comes this insightful piece by a Russian radio talk show hostess: Human rights groups self-righteously demand a cease-fire in Gaza, but in reality they have little interest in achieving a resolution to the armed conflict. On the contrary, they have a vested interest in continued fighting to justify their bloated bureaucracies and their supposed peacekeeping mission. While the Hamas militants continue to hold their own people hostage, the
