‘Defeat? I Do Not Recognize the Meaning of the Word!’ Margaret Thatcher, R.I.P.

When my daughter Kennedy was 11, Margaret Thatcher came to Washington to give a speech — sponsored by the Heritage Foundation, as I recall — and I managed to get Kennedy inside on my media pass. While I don’t recall exactly what Baroness Thatcher said on that occasion, I was deeply grateful that my daughter [...]

British Left’s War on ‘Page Three Girls’

Since 1970, Britain’s largest-selling newspaper, The Sun tabloid, has been famous — or, as some would say, notorious — for publishing photos of topless models on page 3, so that the “Page Three Girls” have become something of a national institution. Yet now, radical feminists have mounted a campaign to ban these buxom beauties: The [...]

Transsexual Bullies Successfully Censor Feminist Writers Who Criticized Them

News from the competitive victimhood sweepstakes in Great Britain indicates that transsexuals have won the Most Oppressed Group prize, and are now able to demand complete deference. Kathy Shaidle and Donald Douglas have covered this bizarre controversy. To summarize: Suzanne Moore, a columnist for the left-wing Guardian newspaper, published a feminist essay in the New Statesman magazine that included [...]

CNN’s Foreign Subversive Piers Morgan ‘Threatens’ to Leave U.S. Over Guns

At the end of a long rambling anti-gun diatribe: In conclusion, I can spare those Americans who want me deported a lot of effort by saying this: If you don’t change your gun laws to at least try to stop this relentless tidal wave of murderous carnage, then you don’t have to worry about deporting [...]

Everybody Hates Piers Morgan

The petition to deport Piers Morgan is now nearing 90,000 signatures — which is what I’d call “a good start” — and this groundswell of antipathy to being lectured by a smarmy Brit on CNN has now reached America’s youth, including Michael Butler at The High School Conservative: Piers Morgan “has a case of the sads” [...]

Fleet Street to Be Neutered?

As a journalist, I’ve long admired and envied the aggressiveness and flair of the British press. During the 1990s — when for the first time the Internet allowed Americans to see foreign newspaper coverage in “real time” — Fleet Street’s coverage of the Clinton scandals was often as important as anything published in U.S. papers. This attracted notice at [...]

Commie Punks Protest Olympics

A policeman is attacked by protesters in London The scum of the earth — wretched asinine left-wingers — have descended on Ye Merry Olde to make an Olympic-class nuisance of themselves: Hours after the opening ceremony fireworks echoed around east London, up to 400 demonstrators marched through a neighborhood near the Olympic Park to protest [...]

Ungrateful Limeys!

The British press and politicians are having an Olympic field day at Mitt Romney’s expense, with assistance of U.S. media. Never mind that we twice bailed them out against the Huns, eh? Maybe they’re still pissed off about us sending them Madonna.

Making ‘Anglo-Saxon’ Scandalous

The English-speaking world shares a culture as well as a language, and the term “Anglo-Saxon” has long been employed as a shorthand designation of this culture, for good or ill. But use of the term becomes a shocking scandal when it is employed by Republicans: As the Republican presidential challenger accused Barack Obama of appeasing [...]

The World’s Youngest Blogger Salutes Queen Elizabeth

by The World’s Youngest Blogger On the occasion of the Diamond Jubilee, I should like to wish a merry day to England and Her Royal Highness. Please accept my sincerest regrets for the latest in a series of snubs proffered by this regrettable Commie jackwagon they elected three years ahead of my birth. Alas, halting [...]
