domestic dirty tricks shop
Zell Miller: It’s like a spy thriller. Institutional rivalries and political loyalties have fostered an intelligence officer’s resentment against the government.

Steyn nails it, as usual
Couldn’t have said it better: Meanwhile, back in the real world, the storm is exhausted, meteorologically and politically. Power has been restored to the whole of Mississippi (much quicker than in Euro-style big-government Quebec during the 1998 ice storm, incidentally), … Continue reading

Order now, while supplies last
Free-market-hating politicians (are there any other kind?) want to nationalize Russia’s young hotties (article quoted here in its entirety): To mark International Beauty Day Nikolai Kurianovich, a State Duma deputy with the nationalist LDPR party, suggested introducing a ban on … Continue reading

Everybody’s good at something

Gotta love those Czechs
I don’t like linking to Instapundit carried stories, because, well, everybody already reads them. But I just needed to comment. The two Vaclavs have to be my favorite politicians because of their open critisisms of soft socialism, “old” Europe and … Continue reading
