Its an axiom of life that you can’t replace something with nothing.  You end up with a vacuum that must be filled by something.  I’m not the first and surely not the last to point out that the social and moral vacuum created by the intellectual Left after it successfully destroyed the ancient social structures, […]

On the one hand it is almost painful when reporters write stories telling us the impossibly obvious.  Then again it IS nice to know the major media aren’t totally divorced from reality and actual report the truth now and then.  Sorta.  The news is that ‘French youths’ who rioted and burned many thousands of cars […]

The leaders of Europe are setting a course for the continent certain to accomplish two things:  1)  The unification of Europe into one state ruled by an authoritarian and unrepresentative elite; and 2)  The cultural suicide and depopulation of European peoples while replacing them with Muslim imports.  In the end the process will be complete […]

Increasingly, not to college.  Education is the key in the modern economy to high wages and a bright future, and men are increasingly being excluded and driven out by a range of factors.  The economic and social consequences for us as a nation are dire and very real.  Unproductive men are unhappy men who are […]

Its an old argument:  Is the media biased to the Left or unbiased like they claim?  The Right says biased, the Left says either no or biased to the Right.  What has been missing has been a systematic examination of the the output of the media to quantify the reality of their bias or lack […]

Events in recent years have shown the Atlantic Alliances to be fraying as the core threat that forced it together ended over 15 years ago.  It is not politic to speak of it because it would be considered rude given the now decades long history of brotherhood in alliance and the shared sense of purpose.  […]

The U.N. is a broken corrupt remnant of the post WWII bold dream of the left leaning idealistic Western elite.  They reluctantly fought a catacalysmic war that literally engulfed the entire world and hoped to create a world body that would have the power to prevent similar future wars and such immense horror.  Their goals […]

Thursday’s Iraqi Parliament election is an important moment for all involved.  The election has the potential to put in place a domestic government that will represent the interests of all Iraqis and thus undercut the driving force of the insurgency.  Turnout in Sunni regions of Iraq was very high this time as they figured out […]

Like the vast majority of the big media, the Los Angeles Times (LAT) is a dying business.  There have been endless articles written about why the industry as a whole is dying, and they have some merit.  The LAT is a unique beast though and there are others like Patterico and Hugh Hewitt who have […]

I have written previously about the developing rage on the Left and at that time predicted that it would lead to political violence eventually.  That discussion was begun by a post on a large Lefty blog, but in that same vein the movement to radicalization continues and now these same feelings are being publicly expressed […]

Back in the Internet Bubble days the conventional wisdom was that the future was short for anything actually printed in paper.  Microsoft came out with its Reader program, others developed their own e-book readers in a profusion of non-standard formats that never caught on.  The technology to replace books just wasn’t there yet, and still […]

Following on my post yesterday, this story from the U.K.’s Times was published covering the recent orders issued by Ariel Sharron for the Israeli Defense forces to be ready to strike Iran soon:
ISRAEL’S armed forces have been ordered by Ariel Sharon, the prime minister, to be ready by the end of March for possible strikes […]

Recent mainstream media stories have replied incredulously to claims of a War Against Christmas, replying that no such thing is going on in the U.S. and that everyone is just peechy keen with Christian observances in general and Christmas in particular.  Whew!  Glad to hear it!  But wait, what’s this?!!  We must all be imagining […]

Events are moving at a fast clip in regards to Iran now, and the prospect of a peaceful resolution of the tension over Iran’s quest for nuclear arms is vanishingly small.  Military strikes against Iran’s nuclear facilities are now almost certain given that President Bush has previously stated that Iran would never be allowed to […]

There are many ways to structure the working of a democratic republic and there are dramatic differences between the methods generally used in the U.S. verses those in the Europe.  The U.S. uses a system called ‘Winner Takes All’ (WTA) where citizens vote on specific named candidates for office, and a candidate having a plurality/majority […]

One of the goals of so called ‘Gun Control’ advocates has always been gun registration, claiming always that it is in no way a move to gain information to make confiscation of the guns possible.  Our northern friends the Canadians have now shown the light of truth on the debate by moving to enact confiscation […]

Not many people know or seem to care that our Navy is vanishing at an alarming rate.  Since the peak cold war years under Reagan the Navy has shrunk by almost 50%.  In the heady years of the ‘Peace Dividend’ when people seriously talked about there being no future large wars it seemed silly to […]

On December 7th, 1941 the forces of the Empire of Japan attacked the American Pacific Fleet based at Pearl Harbor without any warning in violation of the laws of war.  President Roosevelt memorably called it "a day that will live in infamy".  Though initially crippling, it forced America out of its isolation to become the […]

I’m a fan of cinema.  It used to be the case that rather than needing to find a film review, friends could ask me when they wanted to know if this or that film was good or not.  Odds were very good that I had seen it by the time they got around to asking.  […]

Polly Toynbee is a columnist for the leftwing Guardian in the UK, and if you wonder why I would title this post as I did then trundle on over and read her recent article entitled Narnia represents everything that is most hateful about religion.  Since she is so glib about tossing about such terms I […]

The U.S. and Israel have been working for years together on a joint Theater Missile Defense System called the Arrow.  Missile defense has been a hot topic for years, with opponents saying it was basically impossible to do, foolish to even try, and wrong because it would encourage agression even if it could be made […]

I’d like to thank my friend Kelly Wells for pointing out the ongoing effort to thank our soldiers for their sacrifice during this time when it is so hard to be away from one’s family.  The following is brought to you by Townhall.com, with a special page set up at www.thankasoldierweek.com for the effort.

Thanks to Instanpundit for the link to this Nature piece that is a fictional blog simulating a potential Bird Flu Pandemic.  There are some rather pointed political points made, some good and some bad, but overall I think it is a fairly plausible description of how it could happen.  Here is one entry from later […]
