The dustbin of history is waiting. Don’t keep it waiting too long, eh?
Sheesh.

Dean Barnett, on the difference between Teleprompter Obama and Note Card Obama:
What was especially noteworthy about his Virginia speech were the diversions Obama took from the prepared text. Because of Obama’s improvised moments, this speech was different than the usual fare he offers. We didn’t get the normal dosages of post-partisanship or even “elevation.” Virtually [...]
“Sustainability”
December 20, 2007 – 2:49 pm
Brian notes that Bruce Gagnon (a political organizer from Maine who lists “shoveling snow” among his interests and who thinks “growth is killing our very finite planet”) is foolish to urge us to “Shop local, eat local, and walk local” while asking for home-baked banana bread for Christmas.
In the spirit of Brian’s critique, I offer [...]

Samurai swords to be banned:
The sale of imitation samurai swords could be banned by the end of the year, the Home Office announced today.
Importing or hiring the weapons could also be made illegal following a string of samurai sword attacks in recent years.
Breaching the ban, which is targeted at cheap imitation samurai swords rather than [...]

So, TJIC reports on a bit of thoughtcrime committed in the presence of university stooge, and, in my opinion (see comments on TJIC’s post), shines his light on the wrong politically-correct cockroach (actually, to be fair, we don’t get to see any of [Redacted]’s writing - he may not be a cockroach at all).
The PDF [...]

Rachel Ehrenfeld:
Since March 2002, Saudi billionaire Khalid bin Mahfouz has sued or threatened to sue in England at least 36 writers and publishers - including many Americans - who have documented his financial contributions to al Qaeda and other Islamic terror groups, through his Muwafaq (Blessed Relief) foundation, and the Saudi National Commercial Bank he [...]

Additionally:
Almost half of Britain’s mosques are under the control of a hardline Islamic sect whose leading preacher loathes Western values and has called on Muslims to “shed blood” for Allah, an investigation by The Times has found.
I predict lots of ugly violence.

…if you can stand it. This also ran last from midnight to three last night, and I caught part of the middle hour - it was enough to make me want to watch the whole thing, especially at an time when my faculties are as available as they’re ever likely to be Scratch that, I [...]
Remember that band? “Axis of Evil”? They were awesome.
August 24, 2007 – 12:43 am
Since the wild excesses of crazy front-man Hussein broke up the band in ‘03, his two bandmates have been reduced to touring as “Kim Jong Ilvis and his Flock of Seagulls”… Word is VH1 is already planning a “Where are they now?” episode.
Seriously, what wonderfully ridiculous goofs! The West seems unstoppable.

I haven’t got around to buying Ayaan Hirsi Ali’s book yet, but this is a nice article. Since the AEI’s site seems to be down, I thought I’d scoop it up from Google’s cache and temporarily reproduce it here:

What an asshole:
SUNAPEE, N.H. - Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama said Thursday the United States cannot use its military to solve humanitarian problems and that preventing a potential genocide in Iraq isn’t a good enough reason to keep U.S. forces there.
“Well, look, if that’s the criteria by which we are making decisions on the deployment [...]

Slate on Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix:
Any fan of the books knows the story already, and I don’t want to ruin it for those that don’t, but briefly: In Harry and his pals’ fifth year at Hogwarts, the stalwart headmaster, Albus Dumbledore (Michael Gambon), is in the process of being overthrown by [...]
Our demoralization is complete

Via Pajamas Media:
Former KGB agent and Soviet defector Yuri Bezmenov explains how the KGB worked from within American universities to demoralize our society in a generation.
Poking around a bit turns up part 2:
These interviews are from 1984. I guess the MSM (or, as it was known back then, the M) wasn’t interested in this [...]

Our legislators are idiots who couldn’t lawyer their way out of a paper bag*:
Omar Ahmed Khadr, a Canadian national, faced murder charges for killing an American soldier in Afghanistan with a hand grenade when he was 15-years-old. In a surprise ruling, the presiding judge at the war crimes tribunal Monday, said he does not have [...]

We call it Riding the Gravy Train:
I devoted six years to carbon accounting, building models for the Australian government to estimate carbon emissions from land use change and forestry. When I started that job in 1999 the evidence that carbon emissions caused global warming seemed pretty conclusive, but since then new evidence has weakened that [...]
More cognitive diss on the left?
May 5, 2007 – 2:31 pm
After listening (accidentally!) to one of those social justice loons on college radio this morning, a question occurs to me: how is it that any steps the federal government takes to protect the public from people who are merely suspected of some sort of terrorism-related activity are “fascist, man, totally fascist” and will lead immediately [...]

Prius vs. Hummer:
Building a Toyota Prius causes more environmental damage than a Hummer that is on the road for three times longer than a Prius. [...] The Prius costs an average of $3.25 per mile driven over a lifetime of 100,000 miles - the expected lifespan of the Hybrid. [...] The Hummer, on the other [...]
