Obama in China - An Example of Village Group-Think, In Stark Relief

Fri, 27 Nov 2009 16:17:00 +0000

I really do seriously wonder if our news media will be the death of us. Remember all the pantswetting in the respectable establishment media about how Obama's trip to China was embarrassing and how Obama didn't seem to be getting much from the Chinese? All of this which is borne of their ...

Art Market: Recession, Shocks & Hope

Fri, 27 Nov 2009 03:37:03 +0000

I still continue to visit art galleries and museums in New Delhi and Chandigarh (or wherever I am in the world) as a matter of habit. I am one of those ‘art for art’s sake’ type. I am neither an art expert or a buyer. But I do discover vibrational links with certain ...

Blogger resigns from Pentagon detainee post

Thu, 26 Nov 2009 21:10:46 +0000

I first got to know Phil Carter as a blogger, rather than an attorney, a Iraq war veteran or the director of the Obama campaign’s outreach to veterans. Until this week, he served as Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Detainee Policy. Or as the NY Times put it: Official charged with ...

Bob Reich agrees with Liz Cheney on nat’l security?

Thu, 26 Nov 2009 21:00:55 +0000

I certainly didn’t expect to hear this from the liberal super-pundit and former Secretary of Labor. This is from ABC : REICH: I agree with Liz. I think that — that in preparation for this trip [to China], as in many others, even the trip to Europe to try to sell Chicago as the ...

Noted Scumbag to do Hard Time in … Swiss Chalet?

Wed, 25 Nov 2009 16:32:06 +0000

Just in time for Thanksgiving, guess who is back in the news? Yes, it’s Roman Polanski, noted movie producer, escaped felon and pedophile. (Hat tip to Ed at Hot Air .) It seems that old Roman has ponied up $4.5M and gotten himself out on bail. But don’t worry about whether or not ...

Could Wall Street Actually Lose in Congress?

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 23:21:34 +0000

Something strange and a little disorienting is happening in the fight to reform Wall Street: It looks like the reformers are actually starting to win. This is not something you could have said as recently as six weeks ago. Back then, House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank ...

Why Gilo is a Lawful Settlement

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 13:32:00 +0000

Sounds like Obama and the other people who view Gilo with dismay are just plain wrong: The Palestinians never had sovereignty over the West Bank nor east Jerusalem and Justice Schwebel concluded that since Jordan, the prior holder of these territories had seized that territory unlawfully in ...

Evin Prison, June 21, 2009 (around 10 a.m.) The interrogator sat me in a wooden chair. It had a writing arm, like the chair I'd had in primary school. He ordered me to look down, even though I was already blindfolded: "Never look up, Mr. Bahari. While you are here—and we don't know how long ...

Back in Gear After the TABOR Campaign

Sun, 22 Nov 2009 21:41:09 +0000

Regular readers used to prolific posting are doubtless disappointed in the rather thin postings over the past several months. I do apologize but plead preoccupation with the Taxpayer Bill of Rights Campaign (TABOR) that concluded with the November 3rd election. Between work and the campaign, I ...
