I’m learning some new words today. A “rouelle” was a yellow circular ring used in the medieval 13th century to identify Jews. Other identifying markers have been used as early as the 8th century to identify Jews for persecution. The most recent example of such a mark is the yellow “Jude” arm bands worn by [...]

If you thought radical Islam and rabid Jew hatred were not conducive to comedy, think again! I present to you, in descending order, a list of the finest Islamist fails the Internet has to offer.

Since August 29, 2008, when Sarah Palin was first introduced as John McCain’s Vice Presidential choice of a running mate, reactions to Palin were and continue to be extreme.
The extremity of Palin hatred started within hours of the announcement, as did the hideous rumors (about her son Trig for instance) that were passed from one leftist [...]

The  dynamic duo from Harvard, President Obama and Education Secretary Arne Duncan, are running into some  tough talk from groups that are feeling pretty darn unappreciated right now.
The NAACP, Rainbow Push Coalition, the National Urban League and others issued a 17-page blueprint for educational reform that challenges the $4.5 billion ‘Race to the Top’ initiative. The [...]

That’s great of him. Major props to the Washington Post blogger.
With that disclaimer out of [...]

Both the Wednesday Group and Journolist are avowedly political enterprises designed to coordinate and effect political activism and political action.

But Norquist and the Wednesday Group are honest and forthright about what they are doing. The Journolisters, by contrast, continue to dissemble.

In fact, insofar as I can tell, Ezra Klein, Matthew Yglesias, Spencer Ackerman, Michael Tomasky, Jonathan Chait, David Weigel, et al. have yet to acknowledge the explicitly partisan political purpose behind Journolist.

And why the Obama administration forbids the use of the term “Islamic terror.”

The left-wing media listserv may be shutdown, but it’s conspiring contributors are still up to no good.

Inexorable? Really? In an Obama administration? I doubt it. “Ex-CIA chief: Strike on Iran seems more likely now,” from AP, July 25 (thanks to JCB): WASHINGTON – A former CIA director says military action against Iran now seems more likely because no matter what the U.S. does diplomatically, Tehran keeps…
