In the department of “I’m not the only one to notice that”…
a. …Jimmy Carter is a tiresome bore;
b. …this stem cell thing is kinda out of hand.
Enjoy your week, everyone…

Ryan James has taken a quick look around the Coalition and uncovered some gems…please see for yourself… …here comes the return of PlameGate. I was rather enjoying the lull in breathless leaks, but Time Magazine is stirring the pot up again with a story that suggests that Rove learned of Plame’s identity from the Administration, and not from a journalist as he has said all along. Trying to make sense [...] At Arianna Huffington’s vanity project known around these parts as Huff’n’Puff, you will currently find a denunciation by Simon Jenkins, columnist and former editor of the London Times, of the ‘useful idiots’ who ‘have signed up to the League of Friends of Terrorism.’ Strong words, those – but naturally, some backlash against the politically collect [...] The always-interesting Michael Barone takes a look at the Republican legislative agenda and concludes it is moving forward, fitfully but surely. The whole thing is worth a read, but here’s the money quote: Many conservatives have expressed dissatisfaction with the Bush administration and the Republican legislative record on the grounds that it hasn’t produced the [...] Yesterday, I highlighted a piece by Max Hastings examining the pros and cons of the decision to drop the atomic bomb. Today (with the hat tip to RealClearPolitics) I want to bring a long, well-reasoned piece by Richard Frank, writing in the Weekly Standard, to your attention. Using communications intercepts to examine the [...] Former President Jimmy Carter, by any measure the least impressive president of the last 75 years, has once again gone on the record criticizing the Iraq War and Guantanamo Bay: Carter also criticized the U.S.-led war in Iraq as “unnecessary and unjust.” Did he misrepresent himself to pro-lifers? In a word, no. France has expelled a radical preacher with pro-jihad ties. Is that the equation now? On the very day that I speculated on whether Republicans wanted to base the party on the very narrow issue of abortion comes this headline by Augustine at Red State: Bill Frist : Traitor. A sample: Today, on the floor of the Senate, Dr. Frist betrayed the conservative movement, President [...] That’s the message of this New York Times piece highlighted by our good friend Tom Maguire. It’s a fairly comprehensive, well-reasoned piece summarized by the MinuteMan thus: To say that Michael Jackson’s latest CD is struggling is, thankfully, a vast understatement…but a plea to the UK: if you love him so much, take him…PLEASE!!!… Pompous blowhard and faux populist millionaire Michael Moore is set to do to HMOs what he did to the Bush administration: i.e., nothing. It’s a sign of the ego on the relentless publicity hound that he actually thinks the multi-billion dollar health industry is nervous about his upcoming documentary ‘Sicko’: If he does, then I fear for our party in 2008. Here’s what sent me down this path: writing in the Chicago Sun-Times, Thomas Roeser apparently thinks the path to the presidency for Rudy is an opportunistic ‘change of heart’ on abortion. Says Roeser: That seems to be the conclusion of noted historian Max Hastings, writing in the Guardian. Hastings examines the evidence on the side of both those who feel Hiroshima was a tragic mistake and those who think it was brutally necessary, and concludes both are right, depending on the prism that the event is viewed through. Theodore Dalrymple, a retired prison doctor, writes in the London Times on the lure of radical Islam to the convict. Interestingly, in London, the majority of radical Islamic prisoners are Pakistani. I say interestingly because in the U.S. there is a long history of prison proselytizing to the black community in prisons. [...] What am I talking about? Tim Blair can enlighten you… Blue State Republican has enlightened us before on Mike Huckabee’s health initiatives, but today he’s spotlighting some great education results in Arkansas… Michael Graham has been suspended from WMAL for calling Islam a terror organization, under pressure from CAIR; AJStrata is trying to put together a blogroll of his supporters, so please check it out, and read AJ’s post, too. AJ’s one of the favorites around these parts, and he lays out a good justification for his [...] You aked about BushCo: Does anyone support these guys anymore? We’re too drugged too care. |
