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

Better Than a Stocking on Christmas Morning

DateTuesday, December 9, 2008 at 12:57PM

I'm skimming the 76-page criminal complaint against The Rod.  It's chock full o' nuggets for the connoiseur of really fantabulous corruption scandals.  It's like Rosty never really left us.  What is it about Chicago?

Right off the top: Blago's connection to Rezko (p. 9).  How is it we're only just now hearing about this?  Rezko, up to his armpits in the "Jobs for Campaign Contributions" racket.  And, if you don't have enough jobs at the ready, make up a do-nothing state agency to handle the overflow (p. 12).

Like Jennifer Rubin says, read it all.  Sitting down.

And here I was, figuring the Obamessiah would actually be in office before all the little chickens started coming home to roost.
