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

Red Meat, Cont'd

More from AC:


After showing nearly superhuman restraint throughout this campaign, which was lost the night McCain won the California primary, I am now liberated to announce that all I care about is hunting down and punishing every Republican who voted for McCain in the primaries. I have a list and am prepared to produce the names of every person who told me he was voting for McCain to the proper authorities.

We'll start with former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani, California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Florida Gov. Charlie Crist. Then we shall march through the states of New Hampshire and South Carolina -- states that must never, ever be allowed to hold early Republican primaries again.

May I add to the list: the editors of the Weekly Standard, Bill & Fred, who were early, early supporters of John McCain the candidate and his loathsome Immigration Reform bill.  Bill gets a tiny, tiny absolution for being such a strong backer of Sarah Palin.  But Fred, stalwart Fred, has shown early signs of going weak at the knees  and points north.  He doesn't think Barack Obama is a Socialist, meaning he doesn't think BO is that far left.  I don't think BO is a socialist because he's not that far RIGHT.

I knew it was over a few days before the election when Bill Kristol predicted McCain would win. He is always always wrong.
