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

Don't You Wish You Could Have Been There?

From The Corner (NRO)- it's short, I'll just put the whole thing here:

The Obama Campaign's Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day  [Mark Hemingway]

So let me get this straight, in one day:
  • Joe Biden, intentionally or not, insinuates that Sarah Palin doesn't care about special needs kids because of conservative objections to stem cell research (and the objections of Biden's own religion, natch).
  • Biden asks a guy in a wheel chair to stand-up in front of a large crowd of people. An honest mistake and I actually feel bad for Biden on this one, but it's not exactly the kind of campaign tableaux you're aiming for. 
  • Long time Obama associate and unrepentant domestic terrorist William Ayers releases a bizarre statement via cartoon saying "I don't violent resistance is NECESSARILY the answer."
  • Barack Obama (again, intentionally or not) compares the opposing female vice-presidential candidate to a pig, at a time when she's become a figure of public sympathy because of scores of vile, baseless attacks on Palin and her family by Obama supporters. 
Now that's a finely tuned campaign! Keep up the good work guys!

Note to Biden:  I do believe that, traditionally, apostles acquire the power to heal after the Ascension of the Messiah.

Note to Bill Ayers: I do believe that comic strips come with spell check now, in case you've accidentally burned your dictionary along with some American Flags.   Just one question:  let's say, for the sake of argument, that violence is the last resort.  Just what part of "enough" didn't you do?

Typo on the NRO page. The Ayers quote should read, "I don't think violent resistance is NECESSARILY the answer."
