…it’s time to circle the wagons.

Western courts bend to Islamic practices.

“Journalism”
Well-deserved awards. Sounds like a good time.
Dissidents Against The Regime
…are obviously mentally ill.
As someone notes in comments,this is simply another case of Leftist projection.
The Sun
…may be headed for a grand minimum:
Grand minima can last for decades. The previous one took place between 1645 and 1715, and has been linked to the little ice age in Europe. A new one might also cause localised cold periods, but many climate scientists see a silver lining to such a turn of events: a grand minimum offers ideal conditions for testing the effects of solar variability on Earth’s climate (see “Our star’s subtle influence”).
But don’t sweat it (so to speak). The largest energy source in the solar system has absolutely no influence over the planetary climate. Just ask the AGW folks.
Poll Skewing
I was scratching my head over this as well last night, when O’Reilly told Dick Morris that the media was doing this to goose Democrat donations. But why would Democrats donate more if they saw Obama way ahead in the polls? I’d just keep my wallet in my pocket, having better things to do with the money.
Free Speech And Nutrition
Here’s an intersection of two of my favorite topics — the heavy hand of the state in regulating speech, and paleolithic diets, from George Will. And good for the Institute for Justice.
The Embassy Attacks
Did the president lie about them?
Of course he did. Either that, or he’s an idiot. Not that those are mutually exclusive possibilities.
Chief Spreading Bull
Senator Brown has targeted Mrs. Warren’s phony claims of “Indian” heritage; her $350,000-plus salary at HLS; her work for an insurance company in matters involving (yikes) asbestos; and other trivia. What he hasn’t said and probably won’t say: she is a nag. A scold. An ideologue. An advocate of a nanny state beyond a Swedish socialist’s wildest imagination. A bureaucratic Bruegel who paints an America of victims — pathetic figures in a landscape of unremitting hostility. Also, Professor Warren is an economic idiot.
That’s why the Left worships her.
[Mid-morning update]
Fauxcahontas’s legal problems return:
Professor Jacobson:
I couldn’t figure out how to leave this as a comment at your site, but I wanted to let you know ASAP that I concede that your discovery this morning answers all of my arguments and is a gamechanger. Your diligence in investigating this matter is commendable.
Regards,
Mark Thompson
Commendable indeed.
Islamists And Leftists
They share many attributes and goals.
I would also note that while we defeated the Nazis, we never did anything about their allies in the Middle East.
What Has Obama Learned?
He’s not a slow learner, he’s a non-learner.
