Today’s spotlight article by Jonathan Steele and Dahr Jamail is certainly compelling. Having read some of Jamail’s dispatches from Iraq, I was not surprised.
What did strike me as strange, though, is that just last Friday, I read a rant by Steele about Blair’s “good war” in Kosovo – which, just to be clear, Steele [...]
Saturday on the Weekend Interview Show, 3-5 pm Texas time (that’s central) I will, in a case of the most blatant interest-conflicting nepotism, be interviewing my boss, Justin Raimondo, all about the neoconservatives, and how they lied us into war in Iraq.
In the second hour, I’ll be talking with Peter Lance about his book [...]
In the last two days, at least 4 US troops have been killed in combat in Iraq. On Thursday, one US soldier was killed by an improvised explosive device detonated near Hawij. Today, one soldier and two Marines were kiiled while “two others were wounded as the result of a vehicular [...]
One of the ads on the right side of Instapundit just caught my eye. In it, an attractive model wears a T-shirt that reads:
ACLU
Enemy of the State
The C in ACLU is a hammer and sickle.
Since when is communism anti-state? And since when do conservatives, much less self-styled libertarians, consider “enemy of the state” a [...]

Who’s the Iraq War “revisionist“? Julian Sanchez forgot to remember to forget what the warbots said way back when.

To those of you who tried to listen in on the radio interview I blogged about here, my apologies: I mis-typed the time. It was at 1:30 p.m., not 1 p.m.
Ooops! Sorry about that.
Reports say that Iraq’s Parliament has approved 27 actual ministers of less contentious ministries and approved “acting” ministers to the important and highly controversial ones. Oddly, (or not?) over a third of Iraqi MPs were not present for the vote according to the AP, which reports that a show of hands vote on the [...]
[H]ow far you can go without destroying from within what you are trying to defend from without?

Arthur Silber documents the mass scamper over the cliff of civilization. A sample (and hardly the worst) from Rush Limbaugh’s show of April 26:
CALLER: How you doing Rush?
RUSH: Pretty good, Kevin.
CALLER: Love to talk to you.
RUSH: [...]
I’ve overcome my aversion to doing radio sufficiently to schedule two upcoming interviews: a half hour on Cincinnati’s WAIF-FM, this Thursday at 1 p.m. (you can listen live), and a full hour with the incomparable Scott Horton on Saturday at 1 p.m. [Note: We're talking Pacific Standard Time, of course.]
In the printed media, check [...]
People are getting worked up about peak oil theory. I’ll reply to some of the deluge of mail in the next day or two but first, three things:
(1) Lawnorder, the blogger at Daily Kos who I wrote about in “Oil and Instinct,” has written a follow-up posting (”Peak Oil Myth and the Easter Island ecological [...]
In case you think Yaron Brook is unrepresentative of the dork death cult known as Objectivism, here’s my conversation with Robert Cons, Objectivist: (unedited, all emphasis original):
CONS: Any person who asks, “What is Objectivism?”, should do a little reading and crucial thinking. To start with I suggest he read Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged, The [...]
