It's snowing hard this morning in NYC. Lovely, but I am concerned - deeply concerned - about the glacial advances and their effect on real estate values. Perhaps Dr. Merc is wise to live on his boat in Florida.
Moslems say they will quit attacks if Americans give up beer. Good grief. Perhaps they do not really love "peace." Related, from Am Digest, Repulsive Islam.
Related: I guess it is all about the beer, because electing Barack Hussein Obama just didn't calm them down.
And some jolly Islamophobia from Steyn - one quote:
Signora Fallaci then moves on to the livelier examples of contemporary Islam -- for example, Ayatollah Khomeini's "Blue Book" and its helpful advice on romantic matters: "If a man marries a minor who has reached the age of nine and if during the defloration he immediately breaks the hymen, he cannot enjoy her any longer." I'll say. I know it always ruins my evening. Also: "A man who has had sexual relations with an animal, such as a sheep, may not eat its meat. He would commit sin." Indeed. A quiet cigarette afterwards as you listen to your favourite Johnny Mathis LP and then a promise to call her next week and swing by the pasture is by far the best way. It may also be a sin to roast your nine-year-old wife, but the Ayatollah's not clear on that.
That Steyn is so multicultually insensitive, isn't he? How does the sheep community feel about this casual dating?
Have Europeans ever believed in freedom? I very much doubt it. (And voting isn't freedom, is it?)

In modern America, the market's bounty is assumed always to be there, as if it emerges naturally from the soil, available for us to "redistribute" as we wish.

Conservatism needs to get sexy again. And how.
They call this "security"? (Maybe they think "full auto" means a car full of Somali immigrants?)
The British security guards escaped by jumping into the water, said a news release issued by their company, Anti-Piracy Maritime Security Solutions.
Photo of Coney Island, 1910, via Dr. X who always has interesting photos. Note that sign "Special Ten cents." Does your keyboard have a "cents" symbol? (Dr. Merc probably knows how to do it.)
