Blah blah blah, we’re all gonna die Can we just let it go… Tsunamis can affect anything that borders an ocean. Let’s move on.
Jim Geraghty is right: What we need from the Davos conference organizers is simple – the tape of what Jordan said. It would be good to get the entire event, but really, what is at issue here is what Jordan said, and how much he backtracked. If the Davos organizers refuse to release it,...
Israel, Palestinians Declare Cease-fire This should be cause to celebrate. What looked impossible years ago has been made true, a cease-fire and return to negotiations between Israel and Palestine. Sure, some pessimists say there are unresolvable problems, but at least they aren’t killing each other anymore and look to be committed to a peaceful...
Ouch… MS Advisory Team at the Internet Storm Center and I are working on summaries now… Should be up shortly…
Today in my EU-US Seminar class, Glyn Ford will be speaking. He is the Senior MEP for the South West of England in the EU parliment. Not sure if there will be anything interesting to say, but the law school has live internet drops at every desk. The first law class I took, I...
Read the whole thing here “We’re there to kill terrorists, not journalists,” said an unnamed Pentagon official. “The new rules are designed to make it easier for our personnel to distinguish between the two, since they’re often found together and have similar objectives.” Priceless.
Apparently white men can be trashed up and down under the hate speech law, but don’t you dare say anything that might be critical of a “minority”… “The purpose behind the law against incitement of ethnic hatred was to ensure legal protection for minority groups of different compositions and followers of different religions.

Time remains to be seen whether this will pain out,...
I haven’t said much about this because it doesn’t surprise me, but putting heat on is a good thing. There is a petition up asking him to resign for saying (falsely) that the US military is intentionally targetting journalists. You can read more, here, here, here, here.
Wow, things just keep getting more and more idiotic in Israel. What in the world is the Israeli government thinking of? The sensitive issue of releasing Arab terrorists will be decided by a joint committee. PA terrorist organizations warn that a compromise on the issue will result in a renewal of attacks on Israel....
Bias Father Paul Shanley was convicted in Boston of sexually abusing children yesterday. It is interesting how the media has framed this question. I read the story on FOX and nowhere, not even ther, did I see that Father Shanley had ben long giving speeches for NAMBLA, the National Man-Boy Love Association. NAMBLA is...
Mercedes-Benz has agreed to offer “leather-free” versions of all its luxury cars because the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals threatened to protest. PETA is happy, because they say that the skins of four to 15 cows are needed for each car. Thanks to PETA, here’s how the animal friendly version will work:...
It looks like George Pataki would be blown out out by Eliot Spitzer if Pataki decides to run for a fourth term as New York State governor. As a (displaced) New Yorker, it bothers me greatly to see New Yorkers supporting a slick, opportunistic weasel like Spitzer even if Pataki has not been the...
Life ain’t all politics, raising kids, and ogling FOX News chicks. Occasionally it’s interrupted by observations of rampant, age-induced, genetically inherited hair loss. Give “Confessions of a Balding Writer” a read.
Here’s some good news from Europe. The Danish Prime Minister Rasmussen looks like he’s on his way to re-election. Rasmussen has been our ally in Iraq, and is running on a platform emphasizing tax cuts, spending cuts and immigration reform. The Danish economy has improved substantially since he took over. Sounds like my kind...
