MINT-AND-CORN COUNTRY, INDIANA — Because Cash for Clunkers proved to be such a great vehicle for saving “the Economy”, not to mention an unnatural instigator of a climb in used-car pricing, (and which has the further insalubrious effect of reinforcing the throwaway mindset that dominates today), now this: Starting this fall, you could get a [...]

Just caught his latest rant about the radicals in the Obama Administration, focusing on the unsympathetic example of one time black Marxist “green jobs czar” Van Jones. But in a flash of Beck’s total ignorance, in one of his melodramatic flourishes about saving the republic he invoked the Spanish Republican slogan “They shall not pass”.

I’d not normally dedicate a post to nothing more than directing readers elsewhere, without, say, commenting on or otherwise engaging a particular post, but I’d like to draw y’all’s attention to Humane Pursuits, a fairly new stop on the Right-wing Virtual Super Highway operated by friends of a few friends. The contributors are, I think, [...]

Yes, he was a liberal’s liberal, both good and bad, but any senator who said the vote they were most proud of was their vote against the Iraq War deserves a hearty “Well done, thou good and faithful servant!” What must not go unmentioned therefore is the history behind this. Ted always seemed to have [...]

Two hundred prosecutions. No, nor would I wish to stand trial in China. But a point still needs to be made. Why are Han Chinese “Han Chinese”, but Uighur Chinese simply “Uighurs”?

And, for that matter, Animis Opibusque Parati. Fascinating emails (davidaslindsay@hotmail.com – keep them coming) from people saying, either that they have been thinking these things for while, or that it had never occurred to them to become Democrats but it certainly has now, or in a few cases that they had already done so for [...]

SOVIET ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA* — Relatively speaking, Mark Levin, about whom I ranted for far too long, is a pretty swell guy. Contrarily, Debbie Schlussel takes the damn cake for irredeemability. Levin, I think, is tremendously misguided. Schlussel is, at best, batsh*t crazy. No, seriously: As an attorney, Schlussel represented University of Michigan students in a [...]

SOVIET ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA* — I think that this one speaks for itself: the wholly uncharitable tone, the irrational Zionism (and concomitant need to label anything smacking of critical judgment of Israel as “anti-Semitism”), referring to Buchanan’s book as “pro-Hitler”, making Novak out to be a self-loathing (former) Jew, the use of “pro-Muslim” as an epithet, [...]

I appreciate David seconding my view as to the continuing relevance of Obamaconism. Like David, I certainly excite at the possibility of Jim Webb as a contender in 2016, and of course I also share his anticipation that the Republicans will be lucky to crack 41% of the vote in 2012. But I was also [...]
