Tom McMahon mentions the History Channel program The Little Ice Age that was on the other night. I watched most of it. Despite large dollops of global-warming scare-tactic hoo-hah it had some interesting material, such as the fact that French peasants refused to turn to the potato as a food crop the way countries like […]
As an update to my torture post below, check out this post on Garfield Ridge. Dave says:
Again, I personally find torture to be vile. I also don’t find it very effective. I see virtually no exceptions to a rule that says torture can not be used. But even if we’re talking full-on, […]
Various communities in the UK would like everyone to experience the Mood of Their Choice At An Unspecified Season for Some Reason, but not in public, because that would not be Diverse™. It was then that I had my brainstorm. It took less than five seconds to type my request into the Google search box. […]

It is also rumored that a back-up offer to distribute it among the fishermen of the French coast was rejected on the grounds that they are […]
Victor Davis Hanson Bruce Thornton* is feeling a bit frustrated:
Anyone familiar with the history of Islam and its 14-centuries-long violent jihad against the West and the Jews will not be surprised or shocked by these events. They express perfectly the arrogant intolerance of a religion convinced it has been chosen by God to rule the […]
