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

On a Friday Night

DateSaturday, September 26, 2009 at 05:13PM

I sat at my computer working on a summary- the week in pictures.  It was a truly horrendous week, politically, internationally.  Surreal, Charles Krauthammer called it.  And then, tragedy.

There are many, many people in Texas mourning tonight for Brianna.  Only 21, her friendships spanned generations and her generosity of spirit, her bubbly joyfulness captivated everyone she met.  She was conservative, a remarkable and tireless activist, the most beloved member of the Young Conservatives of Texas.   She was the happiest of the happy warriors.   Her Facebook status notes that she bounced between being driven crazy about the LSAT she was going to take next week, and her love for Tony, random friends, and family.  Our consolation is that she apparently died without suffering, and she is with the angels and the God she loved so much.

Requiesscat in pace, beloved.

Tony and Brianna
