Today is a day of mourning, reflection, and remembering. Other sites with capable wordsmiths will do a much better job of this than I could hope to do, so instead I'd like to do my part to dispel myths. Much has been made of the silly conspiracy theories floating around the internet; I was deeply saddened that almost a third of Americans believe ( Read more... )

My last entry attempts to psychoanalyze our commie friend and the rest of the leftist fringe but James Lileks actually gets into their heads!You're an enlightened world citizen.

Most of you have already read or heard about John Fund's report in the Wall Street Journal exposing Yale's acceptance of the Goebbels of the Taliban. But this fact may surprise you: Mr. Taliban eats in Yale's kosher cafeteria. (I found this story in NRO's new higher education blog.)
