Friday melange and New Editorial Policy
- I don't share Michelle Malkin's (and my wife's) enthusiasm for ABC's prime-time spelling bee last night. The kids are impressive (orsprack!), and I appreciate wholesome family programming as much as the next conservative, but where have the writers gone?
- Yankee fans know Jeffrey Maier - in a 1996 playoff game vs. Baltimore, he converted a Derek Jeter fly out/single/double into a home run that jump-started the late-90's Yankees dynasty and sent the Orioles franchise into a decade-long tailspin. Turns out Maier can throw and hit, too; he's a promising minor league pitcher - who may well land in the Orioles' farm system.
- Jed Babbin on Haditha: "We don't know what happened at Haditha...No matter how quickly military investigators work, and no matter how firmly any crimes are punished, the anti-war left won't be satisfied unless Haditha becomes the lever that pushes President Bush to admit the war was wrong and set a time to withdraw from Iraq."
- According to voters in a poll over at Powerline blog, the greatest American novel of all time is The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. (And to think I only read the Cliff Notes.) Atlas Shrugged was not on the ballot because it's hardly "literature" - anyone who's tried to read the last 100 or so pages of that book know what I mean. Who is John Galt? A guy who talks a lot.
- I don't agree with much over at Slate, but the writing there can be very good; almost everyday there's an article on the obscure-but-interesting. Today Jack Shafer discusses our plague of cliches.
- New Editorial Policy: In a shameless effort to boost traffic I will now be posting pictures of smokin' hot babes. Call it un-conservative, and apologies to my mother and sisters who are (I think) regular visitors to the site. Today's installment is the hot chick formerly known as Winni Cooper from the Wonder Years:
Fred Savage, eat your heart out.
