Whoa.

Drip, drip, drip.

Megyn Kelly is reporting that it was not just James Rosen who was targeted by Obama's Department of Justice.

Evidently, two reporters, including James Rosen, and a producer were targeted.

This truly is beyond chilling.

Kelly is outraged and rightly so.

Hook-Up Land: A Map to College Relationships

by Christine B. Whelan

For the last six years, I’ve taught a course on the sociology of marriage. Midway through the semester, we discuss courtship—the old-fashioned marriage-focused style of pairing up—and 1950s dating. Students dutifully take notes on terms like “parking” and “going steady.” As we make our way to present-day, I suggest to the class that courtship and dating had more set rules than the current…

“Islam is Alone in having a War Strategy”

So sayeth American Infidels. It’s all about deception, and it’s called taqiyya.

While many Muslim spokesmen today maintain that taqiyya is solely a Shi’ite doctrine, shunned by Sunnis, the great Islamic scholar Ignaz Goldziher points out that while it was formulated by Shi’ites, “it is accepted as legitimate by other Muslims as well, on the authority of Qur’an 3:28.” The Sunnis of Al-Qaeda practice it today.

Also, there is Muhammad’s statement, “war is deceit.” He also allowed for lying in battle and between a husband and wife. And when he gave permission to one of his followers, Muhammad bin Maslama, to murder one of his critics, Ka’b bin al-Ashraf, he also gave Muhammad bin Maslama permission to lie to Ka’b in order to lure him close enough to be killed.

And Muhammad is the “excellent example of conduct” for Muslims (Qur’an 33:21).

We do not understand our terrorist enemies half as well as we should. Fortunately, if we adopt the long war/containment strategy that we seem to be moving towards, we will have the opportunity to learn.

Now That They Found Him, Who Was Richard III?

Last Monday, February 4th, medieval history made big news when the University of Leicester announced that remains that had been found buried under a car park in 2012 were, without a doubt, those of King Richard III. History nerds around the world rejoiced! Jokes abounded and internet memes went viral in celebration.

But who exactly was Richard III? If you found yourself muddling along, pretending you understood the significance of this discovery but really not having a clue, well, today’s your lucky day.

Good summation of Richard III and the Wars of the Roses, for such nerds as I who are into that sort of thing. Personally, I'll buy that R3 felt obliged to see his nephews dead. Given the times he grew up in, and that several other kings of England had been quietly murdered by their usurpers, it's not inconceivable. But the rest of the Black Legend just reads like a desperate attempt to dredge up corroborating evidence.

'The only clean energy we will ever have is Unicorn Poop.' says Climate Progress. 'We need more tax dollars spent hunting for Unicorns.'

Some environmentalists are skeptical of the technology, and of the idea of clean coal in general.

“Claiming that coal is clean because it could be clean -- if a new technically unproven and economically dubious technology might be adopted -- is like someone claiming that belladonna is not poisonous because there is a new unproven safe pill under development,”

“I am Not Your Peasant”

Please enjoy this terse, blunt declaration of defiance from a Marine veteran to Senator Feinstein, on the occasion of her proposed gun registration law. It is an instructive delight: instructive in that it affords the Senator an opportunity to learn the possibility of noncompliance, of a whole new swath of citizens learning the means of circumvention that comes habitually to smugglers and gangsters.

But this is the best part:

I am not your subject. I am the man who keeps you free. I am not your servant. I am the person whom you serve. I am not your peasant. I am the flesh and blood of America.
I am the man who fought for my country. I am the man who learned. I am an American. You will not tell me that I must register my semi-automatic AR-15 because of the actions of some evil man.

The ruling class still believes it is not a ruling class, even as it stuffs itself with privilege and pride. That any American Politician needs to be told this should serve as a canary in the coal mine of liberty.

An opinion on gun control

Reblogged from Monster Hunter Nation:

I didn’t want to post about this, because frankly, it is exhausting. I’ve been having this exact same argument for my entire adult life. It is not an exaggeration when I say that I know pretty much exactly every single thing an anti-gun person can say. I’ve heard it over and over, the same old tired stuff, trotted out every single time there is a tragedy on the news that can be milked.

Indeed. Parents across the country hugged their little ones a little tighter and more often this weekend. And, today, those little ones head back to school.

I’m Not a Particularly Good Catholic

Which is why it took Stacey McCain’s epic blog post on Anne Hathaway’s wardrobe malfunction to remind me that I should follow His Holiness on Twitter. Something to confess this Saturday before Armageddon arrives the following Friday. Mea maxima culpa.

When this story first trickled through the media, it was reported that the Pope would not follow anyone, nor re-tweet. But the first thing you’ll notice is that the Pope follows seven people: Who are these seven?

Himself, in seven other languages.

I mean, a Triune God is one thing. A Septune Pope is enough to frighten even the doughtiest ultramontanist.

I am a Fragment Playwright

Glass Mind Theater is a troupe of Hip Young Gunslingers that likes to bring the “play” back to playacting. They recently did a production of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream (featuring the lovely and talented mother of my children) which made me enjoy and think about that odd little fairy romp in new ways.

So keenly look I forward to working with this company on their upcoming short play festival/mashup, Brainstorm the Fourth. The theme is Classic Characters, and they want to hear ideas! Tweet (to @GlassMindThtr) or post on their Facebook page the iconic types that come to your mind when “classic character” comes unbidden to you.

Myself, I’m hoping for something out of Hesiod. I’m a great big dork like that.
