"One should either write ruthlessly what one believes to be the truth, or else shut up." — Arthur Koestler

‘A Vagina . . . and a Brain’

Contrary to feminist myth, many of us guys actually prefer women who have both a vagina and a brain, especially when a woman knows which organ to think with: I have a mind of my own, and I don’t need to be told I’m a victim. Or that society must change utterly for my convenience. […]

A Tsunami of Posturing

Few things are more predictable in modern discourse than the instinctive opportunism of those who, as soon as tragic news makes headlines, seek to turn it to some narrow political advantage. The as-yet-unnumbered innocent Japanese who have lost their lives can speak on behalf of no agenda, and the distraught survivors of the devastation want nothing […]

‘Stacy’s Insult Against Governor Palin’?

Well, it’s come to this. Not content to accuse me of arguing by means of ”oversimplified fiddle faddle,” now Little Miss Attila comes into the comments and accuses one of my defenders of “trying to slide away from Stacy’s insult against Governor Palin — and me — by simply throwing away the word that is […]

“What, exactly, do Republicans, conservatives, and libertarians have against trains? Seriously, what?” — David Weigel, Slate Few things — not even the threat of a coffee shortage — bother me quite so much as what I call the Existential Theory of Liberalism: Everything that exists must be subsidized by the federal government; ergo, to argue […]
