Awww — no more Huntsman? But-but-but upon whom are Villagers now supposed to project their immodest (and DOA) hopes and dreams for a POTUS who is simultaneously milquetoast and manly (whatever that means — apparently it has something to do with clearing brush and filling a codpiece)?
No surprise on the Romney endorsement (can you really imagine Huntsman giving the nod to Ron Paul or Rick Santorum, much less Newt effing Gingrich? I mean, without hitting the bong first) although, as...

I am a sucker for Sci-Fi. Having just completed the fourth book in the In Her Name series by Michael R. Hicks in just under two months and with two weeks of holiday vacation beginning on Monday I figure to be done with the sixth book just in time to seek out some new Science Fiction to consume. So as you can imagine, when I came across Ellie Warren’s 2012 Sci-Fi Challenge I couldn’t...

Norwegian journalist Magnus Nome was in the good ol’ US of A when self-styled counterjihadist crusader Anders Breivik decided to escalate his murderous fantasies about Eurabian conquest from Outer Wingnuttia into the real world. Thankfully, CNN, Fox News et al were ready to provide informed, accurate, up-to-the-minute coverage of events on the ground:
The news coverage over the following days...

The pullquote from one of David Frum’s latest eviscerations of contemporary USian conservative folly, a meditative riff on Susan Sontag’s infamous “Were our enemies right?” speech, was making the rounds yesterday (eventually getting linked by the subject of Frum’s counterfactual). And yeah, it’s sharply on point. However, a preceding passage also deserves to be...

I know I have been M.I.A. for the past month but what better time to resurface than on the eve of the Grand Non-Compromise?
As I mentioned briefly back in January, I was recently elected Chairman of the Vancouver chapter of Democrats Abroad, an extension of the Democratic Party for Americans living outside U.S. borders. Apparently along with this new gig came the privileged of having my contact info...

The usual dirty leftie liberal suspects are saying that the reason Casey Anthony was found not guilty of murdering her daughter, Caylee, is because (a) there was no direct physical evidence that Casey murdered Caylee, or even that the cause of death was murder; and (b) the defense raised a lot of reasonable doubt that the prosecution was simply not able to overcome.
That is ridiculous. Here are 11 reasons...

This may not technically be unconstitutional, since it’s a state government that’s endorsing a particular religion not Congress or the federal government, but it’s certainly totally antithetical to the spirit of religious freedom, and to the Founders’ intent and determination to keep government out of religious practice and prescription. This is an explicitly Christian religious...

McCarthy is always repulsive, but he’s outdone his own record this time — which, believe me, is not easy to do. McCarthy’s piece is a response to Arif Alikhan, Los Angeles’s deputy mayor. Alikhan was recently appointed by Pres. Obama to the position of assistant secretary for policy development at the Department of Homeland Security. and in a previous article, McCarthy condemned the...
