Image via WikipediaMichael Hirsch at Newsweek says that the nation has become “Southernized,” and that this is a bad thing — the title of his piece posits, “Maybe it’s Time for the North to Secede.” I don’t differ with Hirsch much on the fact that Southern mores have more pronounced influence now.

Boy, with all the hyperventilating on the Lefty websites, I was expecting much worse than this.
That link is to the North Carolina “attack ad” against Barrack Obama, which incorporates the clip of his pastor, Jeremiah Wright, calling for God to damn America. The New York Times opens its editorial about the ad thus: “Manipulative. [...]

So I’m getting ready to do a post about Jimmy Carter’s shameful, Islamist-validating trip to the Mideast, which has already been covered by a lot of folks, and I’m looking around for a public domain portrait of Carter that I can use in the post, when I run across this public domain photo of Carter [...]

And a frightening one, as you would expect. No doubt he’d claim to be braver than I because, unlike me, he does not publish anonymously. To which I would respond, how brave do you have to be to condemn your country from the perch of a university professorship?

Went to the Scandinavian festival today. I know Ace would hate it (a whole festival — on American soil — celebrating Scandinavia), but it has always been a fun outing for the family and one with special meaning for us, as my wife’s stepfather is Swedish. Not an American of Swedish ancestry; [...]

Here’s what Obama had to say in explaining his “bitter” comments the other day (according to the NYT [emphasis mine]):
And yes, what is also true is that wedge issues, hot-button issues, end up taking prominence in our — in our politics. And part of the problem is that when those issues are exploited, we never [...]

OK, so Obama raised “wedge issues” again, and someone’s going to have to explain to me what a wedge issue is. Based on what I hear from Obama and The Left, a “wedge issue” is a conservative position.

. . . when you devalue human life the way we have since 1973: a college student creating “art” by using blood from her miscarriages induced specifically for that purpose. She underwent a series of artificial inseminations and induced miscarriages just so she could do this project. And she claims she’s not going for shock [...]

John Fund at OpinionJournal on the growing problems that Barack Obama presents for the Democrats:
But they have themselves to blame for letting him get this far largely unexamined. While Republicans tend to nominate their best-known candidate from previous nomination battles (Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush and now John McCain), Democrats often fall [...]

I really, really like Ben Stein. I used to love his column in The American Spectator years ago (it’s been a decade or more since I’ve looked at that magazine), and Win Ben Stein’s Money was hilarious.
So I was really excited to learn about his new movie, Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed. From the radio [...]
