The Muslim world is changing. Roya is a slut. I don’t like her.” So says a dark-haired Azerbaijani girl nestled on a barstool of the Universal Bar in downtown Baku, a spot where foreign oil workers can meet eligible young women for the right price. Roya, a provocative young singing sexpot, is a tornado in…

In what I hope isn’t a new trend, families are suing My Space because their underage daughters had sex with adults they allegedly met online: Four families have sued MySpace after their underage daughters were sexually abused by adults they met on the site. Announcing the lawsuit were the families lawyers at Barry & Loewy…

No, actually I couldn’t find anything by Camille on the case. However, I did find a LOT on line that speaks to the acedemic issues involved. Feminist ideology has totally failed to deal with humanity’s instinctual drives. No matter what garbage you hear from Foucault’s minions, sex is ultimately about procreation. It’s in the best…

In the comments at Durham in Wonderland commenter anon. (who is very prolific on the board) points to an article by Bill Anderson with this quote: “For example, any number of college campuses have been the site of “racist” attacks that later were found to be contrived, something I pointed out a while back in…

California wants to outlaw some dog breeds. This strikes some people as wrong headed. Following is a MySpace bulletin received from my daughter Melody. Mel’s dog Bodhi was the gentlest, friendliest pup I ever encountered. He converted me from being a pit bull hater to a friend of the breed. He was part boxer, part…

Michael Fumento at Winds of Change is discussing how amniotic stem cells are a huge break through and will eliminate the need for embyonic stem cells. He thinks the New York Times is covering up this breakthrough by inadequate reporting. Not so fast I say. How about current research in the matter? For instance how…

Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh said Saturday that his Hamas-led government would be willing to accept a temporary Palestinian state in the West Bank, Gaza and east Jerusalem in exchange for a 10-year truce with Israel. His comments – consistent with a call for Israeli withdrawal to 1967 borders – came as Palestinian President Mahmoud…

I’m freezing my butt off after having been spoiled by Bush’s global warming. Naturally, my weather resentment is growing. Who the hell is in charge of my weather, anyway? It’s not what I want, and I don’t think it’s entirely fair to blame the angry Republicans — or the new right wing BDS. This weather…

Dr. Sanity is discussing denial. She says that it is a cover for something we don’t want to look at. Hiding under the covers. The most interesting thing to me is in the comments.We have alleged Muslim Supremacists and good old American Defeatists. Commenter Phoenix comments on a post farther up the thread including a…

The Blue Dog Democrats in the House are finding their voice. …another sizable group of House Democrats is set to propose a different course today. The Democrats’ Blue Dog Coalition — comprised of more conservative Democrats — will hold a press conference on the war at 11:30 am. Their proposal appears likely to include important…

If Jimmy Carter is any indication of what’s going on with the Democrats, and Dinesh D’Souza is any indication of what’s going on with the Republicans, not only is the war on terrorism lost, I’d say so are the two parties. But much as I hate being a RINO, I don’t see what difference it…

Michael Totten has been doing some really excellent work in Israel and Lebanon showing the aftermath of the war and interviewing those who saw the war first hand. There is way more than I can cover in a few paragraphs so let me give you the short version. Michael thinks the Hizballah got the worst…

I love it when my disorganized blog is ahead of the local paper in pursuing forgotten memes. The other day, I had fun with the New York Times’ “51% of Women Are Now Living Without Spouse” (which I deemed unfairly ahead of Glenn Reynolds’ “A Rifle in Every Pot“) by dredging up the decades old…

Speaking of ham sandwiches, some people will swallow anything — including other people: Marco Evaristi, an edgy Chilean artist, served meatballs made with his own fat to his dining companions at his latest exhibit in Santiago. On the plates in front of them was a serving of agnolotti pasta and in the middle a meatball…

America is desperatly short of translators of Arabic, Farsi and other languages important to our defence against Islamic terrorists. Last Thursday, Brigitte Gabriel and I put out an Action Alert to the American Congress for Truth (ACT) membership, asking you for examples of how our government rebuffed your valued assistance as Arabic and Farsi linguists…

There is a hassle going on in Minneapolis between Muslim cab drivers and the airport authority. International media attention has focused on Muslim cab drivers at the Minneapolis-St. Paul airport after many, based on their religious beliefs, refused to transport passengers carrying alcohol. It is forbidden in Islam to consume or transport alcohol. Unfortunately, much…

There is a discussion going on at Matt Yglesias’ place about the future of the Republicans if they stay the course of the war. Matt thought the odds for the Rs was not good. I made the point that we needed to stay the course in the Middle East as long as our civilization depended…

Surpisingly the NIDA says “addiction” is a genetic disease triggered by environmental factors. They had to be dragged kicking and screaming to this conclusion. It was pretty much established science by the time they allowed as how it might be true. Here is what they have to say: Evidence from adoption and twin studies and…

No, really. I know that some readers (especially those who’ve read the 18th Amendment) might be startled by the title of this post, because I make no secret of my opposition to Prohibition, and let’s face it, the 18th Amendment was all about Prohibition. Here’s the text: Section 1. After one year from the ratification…

I was delighted to see Nonie Darwish’s “Now They Call Me Infidel” reviewed in the Philadelphia Inquirer! For a book like that to make it into the MSM at all is real progress. Unfortunately, your typical, in-a-hurry-to-get to-work Inky reader might miss the review, as it’s on page D-5, but what the hell. At least…
