Perhaps the real story of the Jackie Mason/Ray Hanania squabble is coming to light.

Read Lileks. What more can I say…

Interesting to note that the Kitty Hawk is the American warship with the longest total period of active service afloat today. As such, since 1998, and before the May directive regarding the First Navy Jack which I blogged about below, she was the only ship in the Navy entitled to fly the First Navy Jack.

NEVER FORGET.

The flag at the top of the main index is the First Navy Jack, which the Secretary of the Navy has ordered to be flown from all U.S. warships for the duration of the War on Terrorism. You can read a copy of the official announcement at FoundingFathers.Info.

I missed this yesterday — Charles Krauthammer’s “Year One: We Didn’t Change At All”
Great piece.

BOTW also notes an article on EUObserver.com that suggests ex-French President Valery Giscard d’Estaing is reading up on the making of the US Constitution.
Since Giscard is the President of the Convention on EU Future, this may be interesting to watch; that would make him kind of like the George Washington of our Constitutional Convention.
Tellingly, the article is entitled “Giscard Suspected of Taking Interest in USA System” and includes the line “Members of the European Parliament suspect Valéry Giscard d’Estaing, president of the Convention on EU future, of taking too much interest in the American institutional system, with a view to introducing it in the European Union.” Nah, this will be fun to watch; our own Constitutional Convention had no authority to write a Constitution at all, but was convened to repair the Articles of Confederation. And my goodness, did the fur fly over that…there were threats to secede all over the place, primarily from New England…
I wonder if M. Giscard was reading “Miracle at Philadelphia” by Catherine Drinker Bowen, which is quite possibly the best — or at the very least, most accessible — single-volume account of the Convention ever written…
You could look it up.

Via Best of the Web, take a look at this, noting the scare quotes and the tag line: “Human rights around the world have been a casualty of the U.S. ‘war on terror’ since September 11.”
Disgusting. News services are supposed to report the news, not editorialize, unless they specifically state that they are editorializing. Reuters is going to have a big “black eye” from their biased, opinionated “reporting” before this is all over.

is still alive and well at Harvard. I give you Professor Neil Ignatiev, who wishes to “abolish[] the white race”.
Just as there is nothing worse for Jews than a self-hating Jew, there is nothing worse for whites than a self-hating white man.

Radley Balko has it exactly right. Excluding Social Security, paycheck withholding is the biggest scam ever perpetrated on the American people.
