As succinct an argument as one can make about how the case for AGW is non-empircal.
David Frum: Always Reliable, When Republicans are Under Attack, To Rise to the Defense of those Attacks
The Left’s pet rightie could not resist tut-tutting about how awful and offensive and poisonous that Andrew Breitbat fellow was. Such is the nature of Frum: always begging his enemies to regard him as a Good Jew. But the timing provokes Ace to some of the finest vitriol I’ve seen from him in quite some… Read More David Frum: Always Reliable, When Republicans are Under Attack, To Rise to the Defense of those Attacks
Andrew Brietbart is Dead.
43 years old. Saddening. Since it doesn’t say how he died, I’m going to have to go with: First victim of the Sweet Meteor of Death. SURPRISED WE MUCH?: The Left are being assholes about it (well, maybe not all of them). My personal favorite? Matt Yglesias’ “Conventions around dead people are ridiculous. The world outlook slightly… Read More Andrew Brietbart is Dead.
The Joy of Baby-Killing
In my anti-gay-marriage apologia, I mused about what new taboo the cultural left would set its targets on once gay marriage became the norm. Protein Wisdom has found it: “after-birth abortion” infanticide. Abortion is largely accepted even for reasons that do not have anything to do with the fetus’ health. By showing that (1) both fetuses… Read More The Joy of Baby-Killing
Reading Technology
Ah, but I love Doghouse Diaries.
Say Good-Bye to Catholic Hospitals
So says Cardinal George of Chicago (h/t Ace): The cardinal does not not speak as someone who can, with the stroke of a pen, order all Catholic Hospitals to shut down. Rather, he lays out the dynamic that will happen if the HHS contraception mandate is not rescinded: What will happen if the HHS regulations… Read More Say Good-Bye to Catholic Hospitals
Thoughtcrime Does Not Entail Missing Your Connecting Flight. Thoughtcrime *is* Missing Your Connecting Flight.
Sometimes, just for a giggle, I put myself in the mindset of someone who believed that when the government takes over an operation, said operation becomes more efficient and less fraught with petty tyrannies. I really try very hard to believe that people who work for the government operating according to a Hive instinct, and… Read More Thoughtcrime Does Not Entail Missing Your Connecting Flight. Thoughtcrime *is* Missing Your Connecting Flight.
Quiet Monday
You could not pay me to care any less about the Oscars. A million dollars would not spur me to care less. “I’m sorry,” I would say to your offer of a million dollars, “but the task you set before me is impossible. Human boredom can only do so much.” So enjoy this instead. Blogging… Read More Quiet Monday
The Problem with the Movie Rating System
Ace uncovers it in a (generally positive) review of The Woman in Black: The PG-13 rating is misleading. It doesn’t have the typical red flags of an R-rated movie. And I guess you can’t give someone an R for mood and tone and pervasive morbidity. So they got a PG-13. But it’s really an “R” movie,… Read More The Problem with the Movie Rating System
The Yawning Chasm of the GOP Primary Season
Gingrich is likely to win Georgia and Tennesee. (h/t Memeorandum) What that means, I have no idea. But neither does the media: Gingrich increased his lead slightly since a poll conducted earlier in February, receiving 38 percent of the vote. Rick Santorum received 25 percent, Mitt Romney 19 percent and Ron Paul 4 percent in… Read More The Yawning Chasm of the GOP Primary Season
