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

Get Serious

DateSaturday, August 23, 2008 at 08:43AM

I've been chastened already this morning about making fun of the "conspiracy."   Well, I stand my ground on that-  it deserved the treatment it got.  And frankly, if people spent half the time digging into some of the less sexy stuff that they've devoted to a scanned image of a birth certificate, maybe we'd have some answers, or at least some uncomfortable pauses in the BO narrative, as Michael Barone points out:

Obama's record of reaching across party lines is, as his own answer to Rick Warren's recent Saddleback Civil Forum showed, pretty thin. His paper trail is surprisingly thin, too. He has left no papers from his Illinois Senate days; he hasn't listed his law firm clients or provided more than one page of medical records; the papers of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, which he chaired and in which the unrepentant terrorist Bill Ayers was heavily involved, were suddenly closed to National Review's Stanley Kurtz by the Richard J. Daley Library at the University of Illinois.

We are the new media, I suppose and I think that keeping the questions in the air like the lob that never comes down is the best some of us can do, but it may be good enough.   The papers of the Annenberg Challenge will be opened for viewing starting Tuesday .(h/t The View from Alexandria)

If it doesn't involve the Illuminati, it's not a conspiracy theory.

Aelf, who died and made you Conspiracy Gatekeeper? Are you a Rothschild? are you a freemason? Huh?

Has anyone besides me noticed that sexism aimed directly at Hillary extends deep into the realm of the paranormal?

Well, If I was, which I can neither confirm or deny, I couldn't tell you, could I?

And I would say the sexism aimed at Hillary extends deeply into the realm of paranormal mainly because she does too.
