Watching The Watcher
Well, this was sort of inevitable.
Religion Of PeaceBarbarity
A fourteen-year-old girl was flogged to death for the crime of being raped.
[Update a day or more later]
This poignant photo gallery seems related somehow.
What was the religion of the people who took over that country three decades ago? Gee, it’s right on the tip of my tongue.

Res Ipsa Loquitur
It’s a good thing that the Brits don’t lack a sense of irony.
California’s Problem
Megan McArdle describes one of the biggest problems with a progressive income tax — the volatility of the revenue. This is why California in particular is in such big financial trouble — in boom times the coffers encourage them to create all sorts of programs, needed or otherwise, for which the revenue collapses in a recession. A flat rate would have much less dramatic swings.

Going After Rolling Stone
Michael Yon wants a boycott of advertisers. I sure can’t say that I’d miss the magazine.
Obama The Muslim
This headline is not supported by the video.
I don’t think that Donald Trump thinks that Obama is a Muslim. What he said (which which I agree) is that there is something on his birth certificate that he doesn’t want us to see, and that it might be that it says he’s a Muslim (I think it might also, or instead be that Barack Hussein Obama isn’t listed as the father Who knows, unless we can see it?). That doesn’t make him one, though. As I’ve said before, in order to be a Muslim (or a Christian) you have to believe in something greater than yourself. I’ve never seen any evidence that Barack Obama does so.

Welcome To The Club
Howard Stern is upset that Dick Durbin treats him like an idiot. He only just now noticed? And it’s not just Dick Durban — it’s the general electoral MO for Democrats.
