If someone told you that there was a Moslem group that did military-type exercises near the reservoirs that supply much of New York City’s water you would probably think that it was some right-wing fantasy. But it happens to be true. The group calls themselves the Jamaat ul-Fuqra.
I first found out about this group Click Here to continue reading.

The Futility of Debate….
In this post, Jane Galt bemoans the fact that people in abortion debate are imputing motives to their opponents. In response, Ape man bemoans the fact that even if they perfectly understood their opponents it would not make any difference.
Please Tell Me This Is Just a Prank…
I don’t have the langue skills to check up on this, but this post claims that Belgium is going to ban the wearing of the numbers 18 and 88.
I can’t imagine how anyone with enough brains to keep their heart beating dares to purpose such a thing with a straight face.

Essay of the Week (1/21/07 to 1/27/07)
It is no good knowing your history if you are willfully blind to the lessons that it gives. Victor Davis Hanson has a Ph.D. in the Classics from Stanford University, so he knows his history. But as “Spengler” demonstrates in this week’s “essay of the week” that does not stop Hanson from being willfully blind to the lessons that history offers.

Pondering the Battle of Bicocca
The Chief’s essay “Pondering the battle of Bicocca” is bizarre. Who else would compare the United State’s Air Force to the Swiss Pike Formations? But we think that it makes a nice change from the typical talk about the US Military.

Arguing for Royalty…
I get so tired of seeing the same old arguments all the time. Conservative, Liberal, Green, Libertarian; It does not matter if I agree with them or not, they all get boring the 40 millionth time you see them.
I say that by way of explanation for my strange hankering after eccentric and off the wall Click Here to continue reading.
