A Week of Green Brainwashing

Warning Signs  "Your children, in particular, will learn precious little about the way the real Earth functions. Aside from the usual demented “global warming” scenarios guaranteed to give them nightmares, the schools will pretty much abandon efforts to teach anything resembling the way the Earth actually behaves." Alan Caruba

An Open Letter To My Friends and Colleagues In the Media

Big Journalism  "The same folks who brought us Woodward and Bernstein don’t have the guts to ask this president the most simple of questions. He can ditch them, send them packing after 30 seconds, refuse to answer questions and give press conferences that are as rare and meaningless as a reporter’s manual typewriter, or a photographers old three-quarter- inch videotape machine.

Obama's Khrushchev? How Sick Is That?

Victor Davis Hanson "...Netanyahu was the first foreign leader to think he could steamroll Obama. He earned a frosty comeuppance." The paean goes on to praise the new steely Obama who used Netanyahu, like Kennedy did Khrushchev, to establish his fides. But this is absolutely lunatic for at least five reasons: "...

Race and Politics: Part III

Thomas Sowell "Today's racial dogmas are no more realistic, when they try to dismiss or downplay behavioral and performance differences among racial and ethnic groups, blaming different outcomes on the misdeeds of others.

Targeted Killing

 Hoover Institution  "Waging war with remote-controlled drone aircraft will become an essential counterterrorism tool "...."Targeted killing is often the most expedient and the most discriminatingly humanitarian manner with which to neutralize a terrorist." It works for me. Kenneth Anderson
