Year: 2010

The background: a woman named Corinne Theile had a unique and…let’s just call it interesting…idea for getting through airport security: “Every time I go through security I always say, ‘I don’t even know why I got dressed this morning.’ I end up taking off belts, jewelry and everything else off anyway,” Theile said. “I don’t […]

I couldn’t find a YouTube, so check the link: “Black Friday Mob Tramples Shopper at North Buffalo Target Store.” My wife loves these sales. She’ll go out at the most godless early morning hours, and last night, amazingly, Toys “R” Us opened at 10:00pm for the early bird (or late bird) shoppers. The line was […]

I’ve been a supporter of Michele Bachmann since she first gained national notoriety (following an appearance on MSNBC’s Hardball). And I received this greeting from her today: Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family! As Marcus and I sit around the Thanksgiving dinner table with our five children we have a lot to be thankful […]

It’s been almost two years, but I wrote on this previously: “J. David Jentsch Stands Up to Animal Rights Extremists.” I’m not surprised, but things have gotten worse. At LAT, “Attacks Won’t Deter Researcher“: When UCLA neuroscientist J. David Jentsch was a grad student, he never expected his life as an academic would require around-the-clock […]

From yesterday afternoon: “Kamala Harris wins attorney general’s race as Steve Cooley concedes.” (At Memeorandum and Crooks and Liars, where folks are thrilled with Harris’ radicalism.) Democrats have now won every single statewide race. Some might recall that I’ve contemplated leaving California, although that’s entirely impossible at this point. I’ll no doubt be having continuing […]

See the full analysis at the link: “Regime Change North Korea.” And previously: “U.S. Weighs Options After North Korean Attack.” See also Jane Jamison, “Because President Truman Didn’t Finish the Job in North Korea in 1950…” RELATED: Daily Press briefing, U.S. State Department, November 24, 2010.

They’ve cut the clip here, but at about 35 seconds Sarah Palin whaps a halibut: WaPo has the story, “Sarah Palin’s ‘Snuff Film’ Has Animal Rights Group Angry.” But according the Alaska Charter Association (via JWF), “Halibut clubbing is actually a standard practice among fishermen.” You don’t say? Cross-posted from American Power.

I’ve got an epic roundup here: “National Opt-Outapalooza!” UPDATES throughout the night at American Power.

I had students in my World Politics course this semester read Mearsheimer and Walt’s “The Israel Lobby.” Thoughts on the experience, via Melanie Phillips, at the link: “The London Review of Bigotry.” More throughout the day at American Power.

Yes, I know he reads them for the articles.:  But, you know, I have to go there.:  If Democrat Congressman John Conyers has time to read Playboy on a plane, maybe his staff could print out some pieces of legislation for him to bring along and read.:  Seriously.: :  Oh wait, that would entail too much.
