Netanyahu made a fantastic speech at the UN the other day. Some very good points about their pullout of Gaza and the UN silence at terrorist attacks directed at Israel. Not PC and Liberty Scott have made some good comments. Over seventy years ago, Winston Churchill lamented what he called the “confirmed unteachability of mankind,” [...]
Some years ago, I read the book “Up from slavery“. Up from Slavery is the 1901 autobiography of Booker T. Washington detailing his slow and steady rise from a slave child during the Civil War, to the difficulties and obstacles he overcame to get an education at the new Hampton University, to his work establishing [...]
Some media have repeated several times that Polanski fled because a judge was going to renege on a plea bargain and sentence him to extra time. Patterico explains what really happened. Oh: Goldberg says Polanski thought: “You know what? This guy’s gonna give me 100 years in jail, I’m not staying.” I have read variants [...]
Many of you will have heard of the Tsunami warning this morning. But those of you on the left will know the truth by now – this is just a rouse to make sure us fearful conservatives stay away from the beaches. Apparently they were going to issue a sea-borne terrorist attack instead but thought [...]
Via the wordpress front page. Here’s one of those trivial things that makes you wonder how much spare time some people have. The darker the spot, the further from a McDonalds that spot is.

On the first point, I take it as axiomatic that we have a right to know who is trying to buy our politicians. And while parties sneer at such “trivial” [...]
Boy oh boy, this is one crazy mayor. She’s completely obsessed with the cost of public liability insurance, at the expense of anything else. Watch the whole thing – she honestly thinks there’s no crime in her area and that police can apprehend suspects without chasing them. When the reporter asks her how the police [...]
How long do you think it’s going to be before Sue Bradford realises that there’s no list in local body elections?
Patterico has a post pointing out that the LA times thinks that the rape of a 13 year old child is ok (he provides graphic testimony, so be warned) while posting on the LA times forums isn’t allowed by children of the same age. Sick. I can think of few crimes that are more deserving [...]
Yet another group sees the solution to people breaking the law is changing the law to make life inconvenient to pretty much everyone. Cyclists will push for a lower speed limit on Auckland’s Tamaki Drive after a young driver ploughed into a pack of riders, critically injuring one. Police will today speak with the 20-year-old [...]
