Here is a rendition of Irving Berlin's "I'm An Indian Too" -- which we dedicate, of course, to our own (or rather Harvard's own) Faux-cahontas. [read post]

This is fascinating. ("Fidel to Ahmadinejad: Stop Slandering the Jews". And Fidel on Israel's right to exist.) I have to add: fascinating, but not important I think. Fidel is now yesterday's Left. Today's Left is with Ahmadinejad, or as near as dammit - at least about the Zionist Entity, and increasingly (and inevitably) about the Jooz generally. (See the latest Time Magazine cover story for instance, which might - more or less - have been emailed in from 1930s Germany.) On… [read post]

The veteran socialist Michael Foot died in England earlier this month: he was 96. He was George Orwell's editor at Tribune, the left-wing newspaper for which Orwell wrote a wonderful column called "As I Please" - a good title for a column that was often unorthodox from a left-wing point of view. Orwell died in January 1950. It's rather stunning that his colleague and editor just died, more than sixty years later. Here is Michael Foot's lengthy and very interesting obit in… [read post]

Roger L. Simon on the Timeline for Withdrawal bill:[T]he Democrats are more than ever in the position of having to root for an American defeat and the defeat of democracy in Iraq. They have bet their political lives on our failure.But I suppose we should call it the Pork for Surrender bill. [read post]

As many people in the blogosphere have sadly noted, Bill Stuntz died last week very prematurely. Despite being a law professor at Harvard, Stuntz thought and wrote unconventionally, with lots of verve and lots of wisdom, on a lot of different topics. His main academic interest was criminal law: here is a sharp blog post of his on race, violent crime, and the drug laws. Stuntz also wrote and spoke - intensely movingly - about his impending death. What no one (that I have seen) has mentioned is that… [read post]

"Question A Doctor And Lose Your Child", reports the Times of London. PARENTS are being threatened with having their children taken into care after questioning doctors' diagnoses or objecting to their medical care. John Hemming, a Liberal Democrat MP, who campaigns to stop injustices in the family court, said: "Very often care proceedings are used as retaliation by local authorities against ‘uppity' people who question… [read post]

The New York Times ran a front-page story recently about an elderly man who starved to death in Japan, having been denied help by the welfare bureaucracy.  The man kept a diary as he died: heartbreaking to read.  The Japanese welfare bureaucracy seems to have been notably heartless, and not only in this case.  There are other, similar cases of starvation in the past year or two in Japan, according to the Times. There is this brief throwaway in the lengthy Times story:With… [read post]

Barney Frank, whom I praised last night for a grown-up response to the Democrats' defeat in Massachusetts, may be backsliding already. Will Obama and his party really try to ignore the public's ever-clearer rejection of growing debt and growing command and control by the political class?  It is perfectly true that the political class in Europe has succeeded in imposing ("cramming down" would be the less polite way to put it) a variety of transformative policies… [read post]

Josh Gerstein, writing in the NY Sun, tells a fascinating story of James Dean Walker, an Arkansas prisoner on the lam, and the Clintons during Bill Clinton's years as Governor of Arkansas.  The prisoner's story has strong elements of a real life "I Am a Fugitive from a Georgia (make that Arkansas) Chain Gang". Walker's most passionate advocates were Jessica Mitford and her husband Robert Treuhaft, founder of the left-wing Oakland law firm where Hillary… [read post]

Michael Barone has it right about the ugly political religion that now reigns at universities and colleges.  Barone's point is even more apt for campus units like law schools, which have a government-granted monopoly: you can't become a lawyer in most states without a law degree from an "accredited", i.e. university, law school.  There is a also a broader question.  How much are the campus toxins spreading - among media people, certainly among… [read post]

Here is the audio of FDR's "Day of Infamy" speech to the US Congress, 65 years ago today, calling for a declaration that a state of war had existed with Japan since the treacherous attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7. It is a superb speech, of course.  It is not as short as the Gettysburg Address, but it is a short speech too. Here are some "then and now" reflections by Victor Davis Hanson:[Today a] stronger, far more affluent United States believes it can use less… [read post]
