As I’ve written repeatedly, this whole enviro doomsday and global warming nonsense is the bogeyman that scared leftists and inept governments which have already surrendered to Islam use to distract from real threats. So here, finally (in May), we have a Muslim leader encouraging precisely this kind of sublimation:
We’ve all seen it in Supreme Court confirmation hearings: Conservative senators bristle at liberal nominees; liberal senators bristle at conservative nominees.
Mortimer Zuckerman is right. The Economy is Even Worse Than You Think but not only because of the terrible unemployment and underemployment numbers. It is worse because, ultimately, only private investment can revive the productive economy. Unfortunately, the insecurity and the unpredictability created by Congress and the Obama administration makes it impossible for any level headed private investor to plan with any degree of accuracy.

In today’s edition of “Sonia Goes to Washington,” Judge Sotomayor was asked about her now-infamous statement (made repeatedly) that a “wise Latina woman” would come to a “better judgment” than your average white guy because of “the richness of her experiences.”
I am speaking out about President Barack Obama’s statements regarding staffing practices for faith-based organizations. I am very concerned. From the beginning the President has made it explicitly clear that he advocates government imposed hiring standards for religious colleges and other faith-based organizations.

The bottom line is that State imposed hiring practices and the corresponding truncation of religious expression should cause all universities that are Christian, Jewish, or otherwise religious, to be concerned for their very existence
Here we go again. The justly dreaded Saudi “morality” police, enthusiastically supported by the country’s interior minister, recently acquitted by the courts for causing the death of “four youths in a car accident after chasing them on suspicion of being with unrelated women.” For in Saudi Arabia, to be accused of being in the company of unrelated men, amounts to a death sentence:
One of three escaped inmates from an Indiana prison was captured by a bodyguard for Chicago Mayor Richard Daley, who turned him over to authorities…and gave him an absentee ballot.
Talk, as the old saying goes, is cheap. It gets even cheaper when it is completely undermined by events which reveal it to be nothing more than rank hypocrisy. For revealing such hypocrisy, thoughtful Americans owe a debt of gratitude to a most unlikely source: North Korea.
I grew up on television. Television was a friend of mine. I knew television and to the television programs of today, you are no match for the television shows of yesterday. There are memorable performances and then there MEMORABLE characters that stay with us forever. Here is my list of the men and boys who are seared into television history and in our hearts forever…
