Fatherless Boys, Rathergate, and Davids

March 24, 2006

Update II (3/27): From the Townhall.com review of An Army of Davids: Reynolds provides a wide range of examples how new technologies empower individuals, from helping amateur musicians distribute their online music to the masses without record companies to allowing private citizens to respond to terrorist attacks and disasters better and more efficiently than the [...]

Rally for Abdul Rahman at Afghan Embassy

March 23, 2006

Update IV (3/27): If you’ve never visited IMAO, you must stop by. Frank J. and his contributors are hilarious. (And their podcast provides much-needed comic relief, too.) Frank lightens the mood with this funny and spot-on “editorial” about Christianity. Update (3/26) III: On this Lord’s day, Abdul Rahman’s life is spared. A giant step toward [...]

There Goes The Neighborhood II

March 22, 2006

People work hard, save money, make sacrifices, and buy houses (for a premium) in safe, clean neighborhoods, and a gaggle of liberal lawyers ask a judge to dictate social policy and ship in people who didn’t do those things, people dependent on the government. “Good schools” is one of the reasons cited. Does anybody want [...]

Pardons for Segregation Law Violators?

March 21, 2006

I’ve thought about writing articles (and maybe a book) in defense of the Southern Strategy, and I’m similarly inclined to write an op-ed opposing the idea of pardoning people who violated segregation laws (also see this story) back in the day. Maybe this is why I get hate mail. After all, such ideas are “dangerous.” [...]

Googlezon?

March 20, 2006

Watch this cool video about the future of the Internet to 2015. The speculations are pretty close to the mark and entirely probable. The video references Reason Magazine, which sent subscribers an issue with a satellite image of their houses/apartment buildings (with the address listed) on the cover. I was a subscriber at the time [...]

Former Muslim Asked to Deny Christ or Die

March 20, 2006

Update II: Mark Tapscott: It is true that the Church has grown most intensely from ground watered with the blood of martyrs, especially during the Roman persecutions and during the Reformation, as detailed in John Foxe’s classic “Book of Martyrs.” Bloggers like Malkin and Barber have been all over this story, but President Bush said [...]

Since 2004, the journalists at the Project for Excellence in Journalism have released an annual [...]

‘Black. White.’: Shallow and Pointless

March 15, 2006

Update (12:10 p.m.): I’ll appear on Tammy Bruce’s radio show at 1:30 p.m. EST to talk about the series. ——————————————————————- I reviewed FX’s new reality show, “Black. White.”, which runs for six episodes Wednesdays at 10:00 p.m. I don’t watch much TV, and I never watch reality shows, but I’m a writer, right? I do [...]

Polls: Deep ‘Spirituality’ and The End of Evolution-Only

March 14, 2006

Read my amateur, rabble-rousing, “ignorant,” and hate e-mail-generating opinions on Beliefnet! Related: Intelligent Design, the Cab Driver, and Christmas Update (3/15): In an uncharacteristically delayed reaction, dissenters of the homosexual post, apparently afraid to use their real names, are sending me “tolerant” and “open-minded” missives. I count it all joy. I’m joyful about it because [...]

Welcome to the Jungle

March 14, 2006

Update (3/15): Kerry Gilliard, a teacher in a Prince George’s County school, responds to a post about the county’s academic failures: The parents – the bulk of them – have lazy kids. My kids are walking around with 800 accessories to go along with their brand new PSPs, iPod nanos, shuffles, and minis, ridiculously expensive [...]

The End of Skin Color-Based Scholarships?

March 14, 2006

Update: This interview with black conservative writer Shelby Steele is a must-read. Sample quote: “Affirmative action and all of its sundry manifestations should be completely eliminated. It stigmatizes all blacks, and it’s not voluntary. One of the real cruelties of affirmative action is that whether we want it or not, it is imposed on us, [...]

Homosexuals Arrested at Liberty University

March 13, 2006

Update III: I landed a week-long guest blogging gig at Beliefnet. I cross-posted today, but look for fresh content this week. While visiting the site last week, I found a link to The Da Vinci Dialogue. Check out the line-up of experts. On a different note, this post hasn’t generated hate mail yet (It’s a [...]

Update: Marion Barry Gets Wrist-Slapped

March 13, 2006

In January I blogged about the 70-year-old Marion “Da Mayor” Barry’s arrest for dodging taxes and testing positive for cocaine. It looks like he’s caught another break. Barry won’t be sent up for his crimes. Instead, he received probation and cut a deal to pay half the taxes he owes. (Source) Barry could be locked [...]

Republicans Support Free Speech for Bloggers; Democrats Oppose

March 10, 2006

Thanks to Republicans in Congress, political bloggers may get an exemption from campaign finance laws. (Also see Beltway Blogroll) This issue has been on the table for a couple of years. We bloggers have been pleading our case since last year. Brief background: The Federal Election Commission (FEC) is considering extending the Bipartisan Campaign Reform [...]
