Want to do something besides worry about the fate of Western Civilization? Go to Fayrouz’s blog and send a little help to the widow of the translator, Alan Enwiya, who was killed when reporter Jill Carroll was kidnapped in Iraq. There’s a blogroll of Iraqi blogs there that makes for some fascinating reading. And here’s […]
Robertson Spokesperson Addresses Comments Made by Pat Robertson Regarding Ariel Sharon clearing everything up for us. See, it’s the leftists at the People for the American Way that take everything out of context. God struck Sharon down for dividing Israel just like Joel said, but Pat Robertson feels really bad about it. Those liberals missed […]
It is A Question of Doing What’s Right, like in the post from Reddhedd on Firedoglake. She apparently grew up in the coal mining areas of West Virginia that were so hard-hit by the recent mining accident. I didn’t. I was raised way south of there in Tennessee.

My knowledge of the law is less than zero, but all day, I’ve been thinking about my embryonic understanding of how the law views motive in meting out justice. I think taking a few days off from reading the shameful news out of Washington allowed me to come back to it with renewed outrage. There’s […]
