  1. Hey, young western women, hop on a jet! The world is your oyster!

    QUETTA, Pakistan (Reuters) – Unknown attackers have kidnapped two Czech women travelling in western Pakistan, officials of both countries said on Thursday.
    The Czech Foreign Ministry said the two tourists – believed to be in their mid-twenties – were kidnapped on Wednesday after a van they were travelling in was stopped by assailants on the way from the border with Iran..

    Exotic cultures are, like, so amaaazing..

  2. Highly recommended: Paul A. Rahe’s The Perils of Intellectual Apostasy.
    Teaser:

    Most of the New Deal liberals that I once knew have passed on. They have been replaced in positions of authority by a generation for whom everything is political. Its motto is “the personal is political and the political is personal.” What this means in practice is that the members of this generation tend to regard those at odds with them not as merely wrong and perhaps intriguingly, interestingly wrong but as simply immoral. In the face of an argument or observation that does not sit comfortably with what they believe, they resort to denunciation. The dissenter is labeled a racist or a fascist or something worse, and he is read out of the human race. In this environment, conservatives are no longer welcome. No advertisement states that they need not apply for jobs at certain institutions, but that is nearly always the case.

  3. I see that even the French weenies can ride a bike without a helmet. Helmets would have ruined the blonde eye candy as well. Viva la France.

  4. ” “Reading this book made me want to go to Palestine and kill Israelis,” commented a teenaged girl who “likes Jews” and has attended three Bat Mitzvahs.”
    ” Recognized as a Book of the Year for children by the Canadian Library Association (CLA) and nominated for the prestigious Red Maple Award 2010 (geared to grades 7 and 8) of the Ontario Library Association (OLA), The Shepherd’s Granddaughter is highly recommended by Toronto District School Board (TDSB) teachers and librarians.”

  5. Damn but that was a fine speech. If Romney could have come across like that Obama might be selling used cars by now. His true calling.

  6. EBD, a line from your tip, “the personal is political and the political is personal”, reminds me of a line from the movie about Pasternak’s Dr. Zhivago. The Socialist Revolutionary Strelnikov, a teacher in his civilian life, has become a Red Army commander in an armoured train. Dr. Zhivago meets him on the train at one point and asks Strelnikov about his wife and child. Strelnikov says something like, “The personal life is dead, only the revolution matters.”
    It is interesting that the same mentality is prevalent among the radical left in North America today. It appears that we are losing the fight and thee revolutionaries have taken over while we slept..

    “Climate change cut from national curriculum for children up to 14”
    “Debate about climate change has been cut out of the national curriculum for children under 14, prompting claims of political interference in the syllabus by the government that has failed “our duty to future generations”.
    The latest draft guidelines for children in key stages 1 to 3 have no mention of climate change under geography teaching and a single reference to how carbon dioxide produced by humans impacts on the climate in the chemistry section. There is also no reference to sustainable development, only to the “efficacy of recycling”, again as a chemistry subject.”

  11. From CPAC 2013: Dr. Ben Carson and Eric Metaxas:
    The controversy over the Obama administration’s birth control mandate is about religious freedom, not contraception, [Eric] Metaxas argued. … Allowing a freedom to worship [what Hillary Clinton champions] but not allowing freedom of religion is one of the parallels that Metaxas finds with Nazi Germany.
