How Long May One Say ‘Happy New Year’?
Until the end of January, but no longer. This is the rule. If you violate it, then, like ACHmed the Terrorist, I kill you! Happy New Year! Related articles Bernie Goetz, 30 Years Later Conservative Marquette Poly Sci Prof Suspended for Blogging

Freedom of Speech and Freedom After Speech
What is the difference between the USSR and the USA? In the former there is freedom of speech; in the latter, freedom after speech. An old joke, but new to me. I just now heard Dennis Prager tell it. He also mentioned Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens. How long would Muslim equivalents of them have…

Harvard Faculty Crimson Over ObamaCare
A entirely typical example of liberals who want to do good, so long as it is with other people's money. And that reminds me of a cartoon that should resonate at this time of year.

Halloween Friday Cat Blogging!
I Ain't Superstitious, leastways no more than Howlin' Wolf, but two twin black tuxedo cats just crossed my path. All dressed up with nowhere to go. Nine lives and dressed to the nines.

Who is Caius?
Robert Paul Wollf here replies with wit and lefty snark to a charming request by one Pamela N., a personal assistant, who wants to know who Immanuel Kant is referring to when he writes, "Caius is a man; man is mortal; therefore, Caius is mortal." Pamela confesses, I will admit, I have not read Kant's…

Dennis Miller on Obama
Last night on The O'Reilly Factor, the sharpest comedian out there uncorked the following: He makes Narcissus look like he invented self-effacement. In battling the Left, it is not enough to have facts, logic, and moral decency on one's side; one must turn their own Alinsky tactics against them by the use of mockery, derision,…

Joan Rivers: A Conservative Response
I was one of those who saw "Last Tango in Paris" when it was first released, in 1972. I haven't seen it since and I don't remember anything specific about it except one scene, the scene you remember too, the 'butter scene,' in which the Marlon Brando character sodomizes the Maria Schneider character. In a post…

The Golf Address
Lincoln and Obama share the Illinois connection. There the similiarity ends. And the Maureen Dowd parody begins: FORE! Score? And seven trillion rounds ago, our forecaddies brought forth on this continent a new playground, conceived by Robert Trent Jones, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal when it comes to spending…

To this list I add: Rusty Nagel's. (If you got that, I will buy you the cocktail to which I am alluding.) Continuing…

Philosophy and Feminism: Spencer Case Replies to Critics
Excerpt: I am critical of giving feminism and race the extra attention and insulation from criticism that comes from designating these topics as “entire sub-disciplines of philosophy.” Given that it’s considered impolitic to criticize “entire sub-disciplines of philosophy,” we should vigorously debate what deserves to be considered as such. Knowledge, ethics, and being-qua-being deserve that…

Of Hurt and Humor
Don't tell a hurtful joke and expect the victim to appreciate the humor while abstracting from the hurtfulness.
