So the U.S. Senate on Thursday passed by voice vote a resolution blindly supporting Israeli attacks on Gaza and heaping derision on Hamas. This craven display should awaken anyone who sanguinely assumed that “everything changed” on November 4. The resolution contained numerous twists of history, but the most glaring absurdity is the following: “Whereas Hamas was […]

Why Not Kill all Gazans?
Reading the justifications that Israeli supporters are offering for the IDF assault, I don’t see any rationale being offered that would not justify killing everyone in Gaza.

My George Mason U. Speech is now on YouTube
The spiel I gave last month at George Mason University is now on YouTube. The Future of Freedom Foundation, which sponsored the gig, has a webpage linking to the various YouTube segments of the speech. The audience asked excellent questions and there was some good stomping of the bailouts.

Christmas Comes Early for Cynics!
Just when the national media was hooting up the dawn of a new era of Good Government, another political hack goes down. The arrest of Illinois governor Blagojevich for auctioning a U.S. Senate seat is the perfect tonic to Obama-mania. Initial reports indicate that the feds caught Blagojevich red-handed on tape. If he is guilty, […]
