The New Barbarian Invasions

The Rear Admiral says new barbarian invasions could start in less than ten years. And his warning is literal: he's talking about barbarian roamings and incursions, not just the slow Islamic take-over of Europe that we're currently seeing. Wild stuff [http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/

Going Ape

> Spain could soon become the first country in the world to give chimpanzees, gorillas, orangutans and other great apes some of the fundamental rights granted to human beings with a law being proposed by members of the ruling Socialist coalition. Link [http://www.washtimes.com/world/20060609-101506-4499r.htm]. The

48

I guess 48 people have now died of bad/mixed heroin in Detroit [http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060530/NEWS06/605300322]. It's obviously a kind of genocide. I guess we can expect a visit from Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson soon.

Only in the Netherlands . . .

. . . and in California (don't forget about NAMBLA [http://216.220.97.17/], which started there, if memory serves correctly): > Dutch pedophiles were launching a political party to push for a cut in the legal age for sexual relations from 16 to 12 and the legalisation of child

Klever Kurtz

Stanley Kurtz has written a clever (and thorough) article about gay marriage [http://article.nationalreview.com/?q=MTU4NDEzNTY5ODNmOWU4M2Y1MGIwMTcyODdjZGQxOTk] . We're all tired of hearing about it, but the debate is probably just heating up. Excerpt: > The traditional family is losing its monopoly, as new forms of living, like

More EU Aggression

In case your day is going well, check out this story at The Telegraph [http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2006/05/27/wpolder27.xml] about the European Union's plans to forcibly take land from a farming couple, so the EU can create more

Clergy for Fairness

One thing that stinks about blogging (or any journalism or writing, for that matter), is finding a possible post, following it up, then finding it's a non-starter. This morning's NYT has this story [http://www.nytimes.com/2006/05/23/us/23marriage.html?_r=1&

This is Comforting

Some nasty disease is afflicting England [http://news.independent.co.uk/uk/health_medical/article548096.ece]: > So far 161 people in the UK have succumbed to the incurable infection which slowly destroys the brain and leads to death. It can be passed by blood transfusions. The answer? Screen donors.

Life After Roe

The current issue of The Atlantic Monthly is on the stands. The cover story: " Life After Roe [http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200606/roe]" (which I think is available on-line to non-subscribers). I thought it'd be fascinating, but it wasn't. Without too much exaggeration,

Pell Me

Sign me up for the land downunder: > Australia's most influential Catholic has said the Koran is riddled with "invocations to violence" and the central challenge of Islam lies in the struggle between moderate and extremist forces as the faith spreads into a "childless Europe&
