Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
I stumbled across a blog I hadn’t seen yet before, called Secularist Atheist Army. Strike that, I stumbled across three blogs,* all clearly the the same blogger, and all with the same message: Britain, stop killing yourself. Thus, the blogger, clearly writing out of Britain, has post after post after
Continue readingFrom NewsBusters’ Paul Detrick: CNN Meteorologist Rob Marciano clapped his hands and exclaimed, “Finally,” in response to a report that a British judge might ban the movie “An Inconvenient Truth” from UK schools because, according to “American Morning,” “it is politically biased and contains scientific inaccuracies.” “There are definitely some
Continue readingAs George Michael knows, it is illegal in England to have sex in public places. So, when four fireman discovered four men have sex in the bushes in a park, they could have caused a citizens arrest (if they do that in England), or called the cops on them. Instead,
Continue readingHere in America, we are (rightly) unhappy about illegal immigrants who instantly sign up for all the welfare benefits they can get. Of course, they’d be stupid not to, because only a fool says no to free money. Also, I don’t think any of us doubt that the immigrants who
Continue readingThe world is currently a place of roiling international tensions. The British Navy recently distinguished itself for being undistinguished in a confrontation with Iran that turned into a national humiliation for England. Under those circumstances, there’s really only one thing to do, right? Yup, destroy your Navy: Ministers have drawn
Continue readingDaniel Hannan was riding a train in England when he found himself under a fusillade of saliva. You might find enjoyable, as I did, how he handled it. Many of the commentators shared the same thought I did, which was that he took quite a risk doing what he did
Continue readingWhat kind of sick person explodes a nail bomb outside of a school? Right now, we don’t know, but police in Liverpool are looking for the man who did it. Fortunately, no one was hurt, but it’s so easy to think of the damage that could have been inflicted. Since
Continue readingAustin Powers poked great fun at British teeth, so I don’t think I’m saying anything to outre when I point out that the Brits haven’t traditionally been known for their high quality dentistry. Indeed, when I lived there, people were taken aback by my insistence on an annual cleaning. The
Continue readingPolitical correctness is deeply invested in affirming all possible positive stereotypes about whatever group happens to be classified as the victim of straight white male culture (and that would be usually Jewish or Christian straight white male culture). To that end, it shies away from any unpleasant realities that might
Continue readingDespite the fact that we live in a vaccine age, Britain is facing an outbreak of measles, a disease can cause life long damage to its victims: Parents were urged today to give their children the MMR jab before they returned to school after figures showed measles cases have more
Continue readingAs you know, one of my big complaints about British chick lit is that the “heroines” are usually needy alcoholics, something that stands in stark contrast to American chick lit, where the heroines usually live good, clean lives. Turns out that the British writers may just be reflecting the world
Continue readingDoesn’t Britain have that wonderful, wonderful, incredibly just too wonderful socialized medicine that Michael Moore wants American to adopt? If it does — and I think that, perhaps, it does — Moore might want to check out this story, which blames problems, in part, on those lovely, lovely, lovely waiting
Continue readingHistory has its tipping points. I wonder if Britain or, rather, the ordinary British, have met another tipping point. A while ago, I blogged about the fact that, as Melanie Phillips points out in Londonistan, the rule of judges has gone insanely against ordinary Brits, with judges relying on the
Continue readingI believe I mentioned already that one of Melanie Phillips’ big points in Londonistan is what happens when judges become highly activist, get invested in some EU/UNabstract notion of “human rights,” and steadily erode away the rights of their own citizens in the inanely confident belief that the only humans
Continue readingIt’s old news in the blogosphere, but I was very pleased to see that The Telegraph, one of Britain’s three main newspapers had as a top story (online) Steve McIntyre’s find that NASA climate information was in error: A US blogger has caused a stir in the climate debate by
