The Other McCain

"One should either write ruthlessly what one believes to be the truth, or else shut up." — Arthur Koestler

Marty Peretz Declares Victory in Iraq

It’s a rather idiosyncratic argument that will be of interest mainly to foreign policy junkies, which I’m not. Still, you’ve got to love the money quote: Frankly, I couldn’t quite imagine any venture requiring trust with Arabs turning out especially well. This is, you will say, my prejudice. But some prejudices are built on real […]

Married at 10? Divorced at 12? Hey, Who Wants to Play ‘Guess Which Religion’?

If you guessed “Lutheran,” try again: Nujood is a Yemeni girl . . .  (Doggone, I was going to guess “Belgian.”) . . . and it’s no coincidence that Yemen abounds both in child brides and in terrorists . . .  (Beware of the Utah Liberation Front!) For Nujood, the nightmare began at age 10 when her […]

French Scientists Held a Symposium . . .

. . . about the G-spot. Their conclusion? If women don’t have orgasms, blame the English! When it comes to science and orgasms, the world always looks to France, where the erogenous zone now known as the G-spot was first discoverd by French women while having sex with Nazi troops. It was originally called la spot de la Vichy, but after the war the […]

Oh, Boy! Dead Terrorists!

Dan Riehl alerts us to the happy news that a Taliban leader has become the only kind of good jihadi: Hakimullah Mehsud died of injuries sustained in an air strike in North Waziristan earlier this month, Pakistan’s state television claimed. The state broadcaster also said the leader had been buried in the Pakistani Taliban-controlled area […]

Tip-Jar Hitters Don’t Do Davos

Maybe next year your contributions to the Galactic Conquest Fund will be enough to send me to Switzerland to hobnob with the bigwigs, but for now, we’ll have to rely on the MSM to tell us what’s going on there with the Masters of the Universe. Associated Press: The state of the world’s economy, and keeping […]

E-Mail From a Reader

“The President should have prefaced his State of the Union speech with a profound moment of silence, recognizing the many thousands who died tragically in Haiti. Instead, Haiti was practically a footnote in his speech, and the point he made at the expense of all that unspeakable horror was basically how awesome we are. Obama […]

Iran Discovers the N-Word

Evidently, it has an equivalent in Farsi: Mohammad Javad Larijani criticized the policies adopted by U.S. President Barack Obama and referred to him using a racial epithet. “When Barack Obama was sworn into office he talked of verbally engaging Iran,” the U.C. Berkeley graduate was quoted as saying. “What has changed is that today this […]

More LGF Fallout: New York Times ‘Casually Defames’ Filip DeWinter

So says Diana West: As many readers know, I have written extensively about Filip and his party’s  courageous political battle to halt and reverse the Islamization of Belgium since I first met him almost exactly three years ago. . . . Diana West is certainly no fascist sympathizer. Unlike Charles Johnson, she’s actually been to […]
