Under The Marble Arch
“Seeing what isn’t there is half the job of being on the Left. The other half is changing what isn’t there through costly, intrusive, and ill-conceived initiatives (save 10 percent for keeping Charlie Rangel out of trouble).” -Abe Greenberg, October 9, 2009

Philosopher's Corner

"With their memories of the sixties, when to be young was very heaven, they still believe that an oppositional stance in pursuit of perfection is virtuous in itself—indeed, is the prime or sole content of virtue. And it is this belief that renders them interesting to Hollander, for it makes genuine moral reflection about the nature of various governments and policies impossible. It transforms merely personal discontents into matters of supposedly great general importance."

-Theodore Dalrymple on Paul Hollander: The Only Superpower: Reflections on Strength, Weakness, and Anti-Americanism

Funeral Fashion Notes, etc.

DateThursday, April 7, 2005 at 09:00AM

So the official delegation from the United States is limited to five: President and Mrs. Bush, Bush 41, President Clinton and....(drum roll) Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice! Yes, Jimmy "Sweater Boy" Carter got the heave ho when the Vatican said "Solamente cinque, per favore! [Only five, please!]" 

Well, that's the official line  but we all know it's because Condi looks so much better in a mantilla.  What are we saying?  A wombat looks better than Jimmah, and Dr. Secretary Condi looks better than just about anyone.  Really no contest.

Would you rather be stuck on Airforce One with this...

That's an insult to wombats everywhere!!! Wombats are very beautiful creatures on the inside, and that's what really counts, right? All God's creatures are beautiful (with a few exceptions). Can't a wombat get any respect around here?
