Harry Whittington’s case shows what happens when you wait for the threat to become imminent.

All over America, neolibertarian heads explode.

He probably beats James K. Glassman on points in their Townhall.com back-and-forth on the Dubai Ports World deal. Glassman uses twice as many words, most of which are mummery of one kind or another, especially the implication that we should approve the DPW deal because, he all but says, “Dubai’s got hookers!” (Which appears to [...]

Frank Gaffney has a blog.
Somehow, someone, some way has to arrange for Hugo Chavez to become a comment troll there.

Kelly Jane Torrance spots a possible new outrage to keep people occupied until War-on-Christmas Season rolls around again:
