When searching on Amazon, I regularly see items listed for well over their normal price, especially mundane office supplies. I don't know what's going on, but it is puzzling.

Ed Driscoll has another example of Mike Wallace's perfidy: http://pjmedia.com/eddriscoll/2012/04/08/mike-wallace-dead-at-93/

Good luck with the move. I hope it works out well. As for blogging, your family and practice come first, so I'll be happy with whatever you have time to do, and will look forward to your next post.

"Until we as people decide that it is not okay for others to suffer severe poverty we will have these issues." Brackenwolf, you are a fool. Your socialist fantasies are a failure. If the Somalis don't want to be poor, then they should get off their butts and improve themselves. And they should start by jettisoning their barbaric culture which is incapable of creating prosperity, but all too capable of creating pirates and religious nutjobs.

Kill the pirates wherever they are found, whether at sea or on land. Bomb their places of business. Bomb their homes. If "bystanders" are killed, tell the Somali savages that this is the price of doing business with (or even living near) pirates.

When reviewing the many ways that Obama has insulted Britain, don't forget how he removed that bust of Winston Churchill from the Oval Office and returned it to Britain.

Hurling a blizzard of half-bricks into a gathering of Marxist professors is clearly wrong but.... :-D

"From their website Wiscon sounds like a rather extremist feminist convention" Yes it is. In fact, most of the founders were outright communists, with a strong love for Stalinism/Maoism/etc--although they often masked their love of totalitarianism with superficial platitudes about freedom.

Bring back DADT?? Are you crazy? God bless you. It will make all the little birdies sick! Only a hateful hating hater would want the sweet little birdies to die. God bless you. Us blessed people who are better than you, we all love the little birdies. God bless you. Unlike you, you nasty little hobbitses, we hates th--No wait, nurse, I'm not done having fun on the internet. Please, just another five min--

Insult, followed by "God bless you". Repeat until everybody reading this thread collapses in helpless laughter. Thanks, shayna, that was fun.

"Having spent quite a few years in academia I'm always ashamed to discover such rabid asshats. I wish it were unbelievable but sadly it's all too familiar." I agree. I've met many academics and veterans over the years, and in my experience your average veteran is a better person than your average academic--more courteous, more civil, more honest, more courageous, more honorable. The cowardly pettiness and nastiness in academia must be jaw-dropping to someone who has never encountered it before.

Hoping for the day when all these pomo frauds are begging on street corners: "Brother can you paradigm?"

"graft and expertise"? That's an hilariously appropriate typo Kholeif made.

"...we must oppose those barriers which prevent Afghan women from empowering themselves." I think that "oppose" means displaying a bumper sticker...although not until all American troops have left the region.

"I now believe I can go out, get a lawman's badge, and start telling all the stories..." Better yet, pretend to be a judge. See how he likes that. ;-)

"Apparently that was enough armor as no sailors lost their lives to enemy fire" FYI, only critical parts of the ship were protected by 12 to 18 inches of armor, on the principle that it could not be entirely sheathed in such heavy armor and some areas (guns, magazines, engines, waterline) were far more vital than others.

"I’ve listened to the video below five times, quite carefully, and have so far failed to detect any trace of subliminal gangsta racism." On the other hand, I have detected overt racist gangsterism from the NAACP. Time to stop playing only defense, and go on the offensive. Push back. Point out their lies. Question their motives. Trash their reputations.

LC, are you related to Armed Liberal? :-)

Excellent taste in t-shirts, Uncle Jimbo!

"I never believed that most of those making these claims actually wanted us to do anything in A-stan" Yes indeed: I have met Democratic Party operatives who, in their public statements, spoke of "focusing on Afghanistan" but in private or among only other Dems said that we should immediately leave Afghanistan as well.

Remember when Michelle Obama was telling us about the unjust suffering that she and Barak endured when they had to live in a mere 2-bedroom condo?

Thanks for doing these interviews.

As for "no more war", these lefties are no more anti-war than they are pro-free speech. They are merely against America winning a war, just as much as they are against anyone else having free speech. I've known many Madison lefties, and it's amazing how many are Stalinists at heart.

"What if they gave a war and nobody came? Libtards always omit the next line of the poem: "Well, then, war will come to you."
