On A Slow Boat to China…

From Red Maryland
I highly recommend Jonah Goldberg’s excellent destruction of Thomas Friedman’s latest New York Times column wherein Friedman writes this gem:
Watching both the health care and climate/energy debates in Congress, it is hard not to draw the following conclusion: There is only one thing worse than one-party autocracy, and that is one-party democracy, which [...]

The Elite “Feminist” Attack Machine

Crossposted from Flopping Aces
Andrew Breitbart takes on the elitist media, specifically the three female “feminists” who have been on the trash Sarah bandwagon from the beginning, and he does it with gusto:
What a shock that Maureen Dowd devoted her New York Times column Sunday to attack Sarah Palin. It did not so much criticize Alaska’s [...]

Catching up on my back issues of National Review I came across this Happy Warrior column by Mark Steyn (subscription required) in which he stumbled across a New York Times article titled Struggling to Rise in the Suburbs Where Failing Means Fitting In.

Why Isn’t the Palestinian Authority Moderate?

By Barry Rubin
So dreadful was the performance of Palestinian Authority (PA) leader Mahmoud Abbas during his meeting with President Barack Obama that even the New York Times took notice. Usually, the Palestinians are exempt from any hint of the real world criteria applied to others.

OBAMA’S LEAP TO SOCIALISM

By Dick Morris
President Obama showed his hand this week when The New York Times wrote that he is considering converting the stock the government owns in our country’s banks from preferred stock, which it now holds, to common stock.
This seemingly insignificant change is momentous. It means that the federal government will control all of the [...]
