Paul Ryan was a high-school nerd but he got to drive the Oscar Mayer Weinermobile. Both men have moved on since then, though few of us outlive high school, and Thursday […]
http://www.chroniclesmagazine.org/2012/10/08/tunisia-the-game-is-not-over A week-long visit to Tunisia, in the course of which I covered some 2,000 miles by rental car, bus, SUV, and a powered hang glider, has confirmed that of faraway places we often assume to know more than we do. The first country affected by a wave of popular discontent known as the Arab […]

http://pjmedia.com/blog/roger-kimball-a-voice-in-the-cultural-wilderness/?print=1 In some 21 essays, Roger Kimball [1] — author of seminal books like Tenured Radicals [2] and The Long March [3], editor of the The New Criterion [4], and publisher of Encounter Books [5] — lays out a general indictment of what we might loosely call “modernism” in the West. By that term, Kimball […]
http://pjmedia.com/claudiarosett/the-wreckage-of-benghazi/?print=1 On Thursday, an FBI team finally arrived in Benghazi, Libya, to visit the sites of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks that killed four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens. It took the FBI more than three weeks to get there. During that time, the ruined consulate remained only minimally secured, if that. A few days […]
Following violent Muslim reactions to the amateurish Innocence of Muslims video, international and domestic Islamic agendas are openly converging with vehement calls for universal application of Islamic blasphemy law. http://pjmedia.com/blog/free-speech-muhammad%e2%80%99s-character-%e2%80%94-and-ours/ Following violent Muslim reactions to the amateurish Innocence of Muslims [1] video, which depicted some of the less salutary aspects of Muhammad’s biography [2], international […]
http://pjmedia.com/jchristianadams/2012/10/05/sharpton-race-baiting-tour/?singlepage=true
I have received the below announcement to “community leaders” from Al Sharpton. In it, Sharpton announces that his race-baiting tour is coming to the Commonwealth of Virginia. He plans on teaching people how to “combat” new “restrictive” voting requirements such as Virginia voter ID, which was approved by his allies in Eric Holder’s Justice Department. One wonders how he plans to “combat” the law.
Sharpton probably won’t mention his role in the deaths of Angelina Marrero, Cynthia Martinez, Luz Ramos, Mayra Rentas, Olga Garcia, Garnette Ramautar and Kareem Brunner. His allies and friends (like Eric Holder) don’t like to think about the time Sharpton’s race-baiting preceded the fiery murder of these people at Freddie’s Fashion Mart. Fashion Mart?
Yes, for those of you who don’t know and don’t click the link, this says it all:
The Sharpton-led protests began in August and came to a head on the morning of Friday, December 8th when Roland James Smith, Jr., who had been part of the Sharpton’s protests, walked into Freddy’s Fashion Mart, pulled out a gun, ordered all the black customers to leave, spilled paint thinner on several bins of clothing and set them on fire.
Sharpton is a reprehensible race baiter who should never escape his past unless he publicly atones. That Eric Holder associates with Sharpton’s sort tells us even more than that racialist quote Holder carries around in his wallet.

http://www.nationalreview.com/blogs/print/329590 Do you think Barack Obama knows who Ernie Banks is? Count me a skeptic. The purported White Sox fanatic couldn’t name a single player for the home team on the South Side, so I doubt he knows Wrigley Field from his beloved “Cominskey Field.” But even if the president was never gripped by the […]
