…through science. If I had some liquid nitrogen, I’d give it a try.
Weinergate
…versus the summer of Nixon.

It took her long enough–Ann Althouse has finally given up on CNN. As a commenter notes, they didn’t call it the Clinton News Network in the nineties for nothing.

Breitbart and his team of editors and contributors (of which I am one) are everything that the press hates. We find the facts that either they don’t find or they choose to ignore, and we reveal them to the public. As the guy whose name is on all the sites, along with being the content director and a reporter, Breitbart’s job is to publicly take the body slams directed at all the writers including himself.
Let’s face it, Breitbart’s “Big” sites not only shoot down the progressive media’s political idols, but they make the press seem incompetent for not reporting those stories themselves.
When it comes to leftists, they have no journalistic instincts.

The danger to the left of the hypocrisy defense:
Within the parameters of this “Hypocrisy Defense”…Which do you think the general public prefers: An ideology that at least tries to champion a moral code, but whose adherents sometimes fail to live up to it; or an ideology that by its own definition is inherently immoral and whose adherents don’t even have a moral code to violate?
The liberals are taking a HUGE gamble that a majority of Americans will throw in their lot with the party of immorality.
As the old saying goes, hypocrisy is the tribute that vice pays to virtue.
What Sarah Palin Got Wrong
Thoughts from a Revere historian.
I agree with him that one of Palin’s character flaws is an inability to admit error. It’s one she shares with the president.
A Job (And Wealth) Creator, Not Destroyer
Draft Rick Perry for president?
A Modest Proposal
Andrew Klavan has a one-state solution for the Middle East. Works for me.
Strange Bedfellows
Tea Party In Space praises Barbara Boxer and Diane Feinstein.
Hey, it’s the best thing they’ve ever done for the space program (a low bar for them, or California Democrats in general), though they’re certainly doing it at the behest of Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne in Canoga Park and Aerojet in Sacramento, not because they care about space. I hope this throws a mighty wrench in the Senate Launch System works.
Ten Misused Words In English
The only one of these that I may have misused in the past is “bemused.” The rest I already had down cold.
Five Theories
…of Weinergate. I’m going with Occam’s Razor, myself. Particularly considering what a weaselly vaginal rinse the guy is.
Andrew Klavan says that the Weiners of the world are womens’ fault.
[Update]
Weiner comes clean. But he says he won’t pull out. Or…errrrr…something.
Well, why should he? Ted Kennedy killed a young woman, and served for decades more. All you have to do is be a Democrat.

So why isn’t the media hounding Huma for a comment? You know they would if he were a Republican.

Ottoman Fantasies
A fascinating interview by Michael Totten with Claire Berlinski, on what she thinks is the most misunderstood country in the middle east.
