Webloggers and readers with an itch to write, Frontiers of Freedom’s OpinonEditorials.com can be your chance to start your new career as the next George Will, Thomas Friedman, or–dare I say it–Ann Coulter. Send them a 500-750 word article, and they just might print it. I see this as the minor leagues of […]

USA Today has a lengthy story on possible war tactics against Iraq, but here’s the kicker: the whole story might just be a diversion put out by the military. As Dave Moniz writes,

The war will almost certainly be preceded by a lengthy disinformation campaign designed to keep Saddam guessing about U.S. intentions. That effort, […]

Brad DeLong on basic statistics:

I wish the New York Times would talk of confidence intervals and sampling variability, but its editors have made a judgment that such discussions would lose too many of their readers. It doesn’t. But this failure to talk about the uncertainties of sample-based estimates leaves the door open for sleazy attacks […]

Jane Galt calls The West Wing “Touched By An Angel for the political class.” She’s right. The liberal President and his staff are always right, and the opposition isn’t just wrong, but stupid. I still like the show because it’s about Washington, D.C. and the dialog is so zippy. A failing […]

John Hawkins is tired of the anti-war crowd’s lack of an answer to the Islamist War:

This is the big problem I have with the anti-war people. There is a clear and present danger to the United States that in all likelihood will get worse unless some sort of immediate action is taken and the anti-war […]

The agency in charge of rebuilding the WTC site has asked for ideas from six architecture teams. Since the state of modern architecture is abysmal, I worry about the resulting plans to be put together by November.

Dawn writes,

No one is Pro-Abortion. I am not. I think it is unfortunate and sad, but my desire to keep it accessible comes from the same concern the Pro-Lifers have, preserving the integrity of life.

If no one is pro-abortion then how come so many people scream when even the slightest restriction on abortion is merely […]

The univeristy claims it’s a violation of the USA Patriot Act.

In an e-mail, Chris Mosier

In an e-mail, Chris Mosier points out an error in Jacob Levy’s post on the 17th Amendment. Levy wrote that before the 17th Amendment “Senators were elected for a stable seven years.” A Senator’s term has always been six years. The 17th Amendment didn’t change anything about the length.

The the inaugural issue of The American Conservative, the Paleo/Neo Conservative wars have moved beyond the Internet and unknown magazines.
AC editors Pat Buchanan and Taki Theodoracopulos might be taking the term “Old Right” too literally. There’s no real content on the magazine’s web site. If they want influence beyond the D.C.-New York media […]

PALEO WATCH: The latest item is indirect. Lawrence Auster covers Pat Buchanan’s new magazine and wrote this paragraph about paleos in general:

A similar ad hominem methodology can be seen at work among Buchanan’s somewhat more extreme allies on the antiwar right, the paleo-libertarians and neo-Confederates whose main hangout is lewrockwell.com. For the neo-Confederates, the […]
