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

More Tea Party Stuff

DateMonday, September 14, 2009 at 10:27AM

My friend the unofficial tour guide said that the brother and sister from Green Bay traveled across country in their little car with a “Tea Party” sign on it and were cheered every place they stopped.

I don’t think there’s a conspiracy or anything. Rich Galen reports:
* None of the national evening news anchors were there to bring you
breathless coverage.
* None of the networks suspended regular programming to show the
event in real time.
* A number of the weekend shows were taped on Thursday or Friday and
didn’t even mention it.
* The Washington, DC subway – called the Metro – which regularly
puts on extra trains for large events announced it would actually
close stations if they became too crowded.
* The Washington Times said, “Rally leaders estimated the crowd at
about 75,000** the Washington Post said it was “in the many tens of
thousands.”

**This is a gross underestimate: this is the time lapse of the march.
