Islamicization of Europe—Exhibit 3455

From the Daily Mail. . .  Muslim M&S worker refused to sell ‘unclean’ Bible book to grandmother, customer claims A Muslim store worker at Marks & Spencer refused to serve a customer buying a children’s book on biblical stories because she said it was “unclean”. Sally Friday, a customer at a branch of one of […]

Pressing Deadlines

A number of pressing deadlines are going to make for light blogging here over the next two weeks. My apologies. Nevertheless, I will try to post links to items I find noteworthy. For example,  I have argued in the past that Mike Huckabee may be more a man of the Christian Left rather than the […]

A Brush with Greatness

Jon and I are sitting in a Reagan Washington National Airport Starbucks waiting to catch a flight home. A few minutes ago an older gentleman wearing khakis, a golf cap and a denim shirt sat down across from us. Jon whispered, “Isn’t that former attorney general John Ashcroft?””By gum, it is!”He was alone (no entourage). […]

Airport Lounge Blogging

Columbus, Ohio last night. Headed to D.C. tonight. Sitting in an airport lounge having to listen to Wolf Blitzer and Jack Cafferty bloviate on one of the ubiquitous flat panels carrying all-CNN, all the time. As an expert in branding and marketing, I can say that Jack Cafferty absolutely owns the “Crusty Gasbag” position among […]

Jonah in Dallas

I attended a luncheon in Dallas yesterday hosted by the NCPA (National Center for Policy Analysis) a Dallas-based think tank. Jonah Golberg was the guest speaker and he was great. Jonah’s new book, Liberal Facism: The Secret History of the American Left from Mussolini to the Politics of Meaning, is causing the left no small amount […]

So says this report in London’s Evening Standard. So I’m wondering. What do the “Truthers” and the “9/11 was an Inside Job” conspiracy-mongers do […]

This is Liberalism?

Ms. Magazine refused to run this ad: The refusal points up how overtly anti-Israel and covertly anti-Semitic the American left has become. The Volokh Conspiracy blog has more on Ms. mag’s bizarre double standard.

"The Natural"

Republican debate tonight. Couldn’t watch it because pressing projects. . .well, pressed. But the 8 or 10 eminent pundits live blogging it over at The Corner were all praising Fred Thompson’s performance to the heavens.  And Jim Geraghty over at the Campaign Spot recapped the debate like this: Tonight, Fred Reminded Me of Roy Hobbs. […]

Trophy Wife?

   I have seen lots of joking and jesting about Fred Thompson’s so-called trophy wife, Jeri, who is 24 years younger than Fred and, I suppose, relatively easy on the eyes.  But I had never heard her speak until yesterday when I was watching Fox News’ “Big Idea” while on a treadmill at the gym.  The woman is […]
