Nirs Rosen, Moonbat

“Certainly, if the goal of the war is to reduce the threat from this group called al-Qaeda — which may not even exist anymore — then nobody has explained why increasing American occupation in Afghanistan, where you don’t even have al-Qaeda, is going to help weaken al-Qaeda . . . A couple hundred guys who […]

U.S. to Join Anti-Israel Bloc at U.N.?

A troubling signal: The U.S. informed Arab governments Tuesday that it will support a U.N. Security Council statement reaffirming that the 15-nation body “does not accept the legitimacy of continued Israeli settlement activity,” a move aimed at avoiding the prospect of having to veto a stronger Palestinian resolution calling the settlements illegal. But the Palestinians […]

Jill Filipovic Throws Me Some Traffic; Little Green Footballs, Not So Much

America’s Favorite Feminist responds to this morning’s provocation by accusing me of promoting the narrative, “Brown people are savages who will go after pretty white women.” A near-miss there, Ms. Filipovic, but thanks for linking me.

Academic fellowships are how the Left rewards journalists who advance the Left’s agenda, an academic subsidy that enables […]

Egypt: Mubarak Resigns

Finally: Hosni Mubarak has stood down as Egypt’s president after 18 days of mass demonstrations. The announcement was made by Vice-President Omar Suleiman shortly after it was reported that Mr Mubarak had flown to Sharm el-Sheikh. Egyptians celebrated by blowing their car horns and setting off fireworks. It appears to have been a military coup. […]

‘Rhymes-With-Shmoogle’

Pejman Yousefzadeh disassembles Conor Friedersdorf with admirable gusto, beginning, “I really have things I would prefer doing this evening instead of engaging in yet another blogfight with someone at the Atlantic, but . . .” Yousefzadeh eviscerates Friedersdorf for defending anti-Israel crank Philip Giraldi and you’ve really got to read the whole thing, which includes […]
