Unqualified Offerings

Unqualified Offerings is pleased to report that Justin Raimondo credits this site by name for coming up with the term “split-screen republicanism,” especially since, ahem, he hasn’t always done so.
Raimondo’s Friday column is a response to Glenn Reynolds’ most recent FoxNews.com column. For my part, I think that Justin both mistakes the intent of Reynolds’ [...]

The great Post reporter Richard Leiby profiles Abu Mujahid, ne Aukai Collins, in the Washington Post. Mujahid is a Euro-American prison convert to Islam who fought in Chechnya and southeastern Europe. According to the post, in his book memoir, My Jihad, he angrily rebukes the idea that terrorism can have any legitimate function in Holy [...]

No, not the Pledge decision. UO can’t get worked up about that. It’s this: an MSN.com promo this morning on grilling has a picture that shows the grill being tended by a, well, a vaginal-american. The infamy!

Anthrax did not prove to be anything like a “weapon of mass destruction.” But someone killed five people. That someone has to pay. And if the feds are delaying the murderer’s comeuppance for political purposes, they need to pay too. (NB: UO opposes the death penalty.)
Which leads to a final speculation. Someone within the FBI [...]

Unqualified Offerings can handle being caught in a rhetorical dodge, but it’s embarrassing being caught in a rhetorical dodge it didn’t know it was taking. In an e-mail headed “UO Watch,” reader/gaming buddy Greg Pearson writes anent the anthrax speculation item below to point out that, while all that stuff about “greymail” is very nice, [...]

The Talking Dog mocks this third-tier blog by referring to Unqualified Offerings as a “weblog powerhouse.” Hey, from your lips to our stat servers ears, TD! Anyway, TD e-mails to say that if we’re bringing Palestine into the Union, that we won’t need 53 states.

Actually, if you proposed making the new state of Palestine ALSO [...]

Another pinko blogger caught linking to right wing isolationists! Check out his one-act play about The War Against Bad ThingsTM.
Unqualified Offerings feels obligated to mention that socialism still sucks.

Warblogger Andrea Harris, who must read this site just to keep her blood pressure up, vociferously disassociates herself from the odious Larry Kudlow, as Unqualified Offerings sort of requested. “Sort of” because Harris also avows “I am not a libertarian — small “l” or large “L” or any of that” and it was specifically interventionist [...]

At Unqualified Offerings, our motto is, “Content isn’t just king, it’s a hermit king.” At Anton Sherwood’s Sightseeing in Plato’s Cave, Content lives all by itself. Unqualified Offerings wishes that Sherwood would condescend to narrow his text columns, but then, Unqualified Offerings wishes a lot of bloggers would condescend to narrow their text columns. But [...]

Unqualified Offerings mentioned this new weblog a few days ago. On the evidence of his postings since then, we are already way past flash-in-the pan status. Two meaty pieces weigh in on the gender disparity in undergraduate degrees. There’s a substantial item on quantum computing, and a couple pieces on Bush’s Middle East the speech [...]
