The NY Times gets it mostly wrong again in its editorial, Detained in Libya. A Libyan militia has detained four officials of the International Criminal Court since Thursday on spurious charges. They should be released immediately. The Times is probably right as far as it goes.  ICC officials should be treated with respect.  But here’s [...]

In a New York Times story yesterday with the headline “Black Man’s Killing in Georgia Eludes Spotlight” the writer, Kim Severson seems upset by the fact that somehow a white man in Georgia shooting and killing a black man has not drawn the attention of the race-baiters like Al Sharpton and his ilk and there [...]

October Baby is the wonderful faith-based movie on an abortion survivor inspired by a true story.  This fairly decent article in the NY TImes (yes the Times) is only a result of the support of evangelicals for the movie: But at a time when the issue is once again causing agitation in political circles, a [...]

This sort of snuck up on me with all the election stuff and other things that take precedence over blogging but it is exciting and it’s better late than never. While a libertarian blockbuster (The Hunger Games) set all sorts of box office records or near records (about $150,000,000 in its first week in USA [...]

The New York Times wrote an intriguing article on the effort to get ICLEI (and Agenda 21) out of the United States.  Here’s a couple of highlights: Tom DeWeese, the founder of the American Policy Center, a Warrenton, Va.-based foundation that advocates limited government, says he has been a leader in the opposition to Agenda [...]

Andrew Breitbart appeared on a number of news programs yesterday and claims to have an extremely explicit photograph of Congressman Anthony Weiner’s nether regions. As Breitbart put it on Hannity last night, “he is extremely excited about life” in the photo. This morning, Breitbart did a spot on the Opie and Anthony show and was [...]

Well, here we go again! Leave it to New York State to come up with another bizarre spectacle in a special election race. Recall that in 2009, liberal RINO candidate Dede Scozzafava was in a 3 way race between true Tea Party candidate Doug Hoffman and Democrat Bill Owens. At the last minute, RINO Scozzafava [...]

Estonia is a small nation in eastern Europe on the Baltic Sea.  It was independent from 1918 through 1940 and then in a cynical deal between Hitler and Stalin, it was forcibly occupied by the USSR for over fifty years.  Thankfully, the USA never recognized the occupation of Estonia (or Latvia or Lithuania); finally in [...]

Of course it is buried in the story, but the New York Times is reporting that Jared Loughnew, the madman responsible for the mayhem that left 6 dead and a US Congresswoman with a serious brain injury hated George W. Bush. He became intrigued by antigovernment conspiracy theories, including that the Sept. 11 attacks were [...]

 CreighDeeds Virginia State Senator Creigh Deeds  normally tweets about the mundane. The failed AG and Gubernatorial candidate routinely will let us know what’s on his Ipod (I must say he has a very good taste in music) or the daily fate of his Cincinnati Reds. So I was disappointed when he went out of his way to criticize Glenn Beck and the thousands of Virginians who participated in Saturday’s Restore Honor rally. First he very subtly tweeted a link to the anti-Beck Washington Post column by Eugene Robinson. Then another tweet linking to the anti-Beck NY Times column  by Bob Herbert. At this point another tweeter (jnowlin) questions why he would…

Normally, when a bomb goes off, or even if it is a complete failure like the show bomber and the underwear bomber, when a foreign terror group claims responsibility, well, that’s that.

But lately, the Obama Administration seems to be going to great lengths to deny any connection to Islam where terror is concerned.
