I agree with Mike Griffin that we are, with regard to space, but it’s ironic, since he’s one of the people who helped put us into that situation.

Those Evil Jews
Lileks has a modest proposal:
The people who want the grocery store to stop stocking Israeli products should sign waivers indicating that they do not wish to be treated with any medicine or device or course of treatment that is the result of Israeli research. This could be entered into their National Health Service database, along the lines of a “Do not Resuscitate” order, and possibly having the same effect.
Then everyone’s happy. But it’s only a start. I think there enough Israeli telecommunications patents to make the protestors think twice about using their mobiles, and it is time for the serious-minded in their midst to foreswear these tainted technologies. Going Jew-free isn’t as easy as it might look, but c’mon, you can still keep in touch. There’s always the mail. It’s not like every stamp has Disraeli on it.
In many ways, I feel like we’re reliving the thirties.
Militarized Police Departments
Here’s a good idea. “Have the feds take back all of that hardware from the local police and send it to the Kurds.”
Also,
Washington is full of people who believe police need to have tanks and Marines need to have arrest warrants.

The Jumanjihadis
Didn’t have much of a sense of humor about Robin Williams.
Stuck In Iraq
Heh,
John Kerry said that I if you didn't study or were stupid, you would get stuck in Iraq. Today, John Kerry is stuck in Iraq. #tcot

“All This ‘Caliphate’ Talk”
“…is a delusion.”
The country’s in the very best of hands.
Obama’s Incoherence
Yes, “mixed messages” puts it far too kindly.
Islamism
At what point is the world going to recognize that this totalitarian ideology is at least as bad as Nazism?
By the way, for those who want to devalue the word “genocide,” does this count?
“We have striking evidence obtained from Yazidis fleeing Sinjar and some who escaped death, and also crime scene images that show indisputably that the gangs of the Islamic State have executed at least 500 Yazidis after seizing Sinjar,” he said
“Some of the victims, including women and children were buried alive in scattered mass graves in and around Sinjar.”
But other than that, it’s totally a religion of peace. Good thing that these guys aren’t a real threat, like Al Qaeda. Like the president says, they’re just junior varsity.
World War I
The demons unleashed live on, a century later.
CNN And Hamas
…sitting in a tree. K I S S I N Gee, and people wonder why CNN’s ratings are in the tank.
As the old joke goes, Fox News is successful because it tapped an unsatisfied market niche — half the country.
