Ron Reagan Jr. Acts Like A Colossal Goon

by Smitty (h/t Gateway Pundit) My hat is off to Pamela, again, this time for tolerating the insufferable Ron Reagan, Jr. What a Solomon to Rehoboam transition for that family.

Global Philosophical Warming: This Kant Be Happenin’

by Smitty (via PuffHo) Bernard-Henri Lévy had some data problems, reports the Telegraph, out flogging another tome, On War in Philosophy, which can’t be linked at Amazon, yet.  His thought seems mildly interesting, as, according to Wikipedia, he has founded an Institute of Levinassian Studies.
