Not that anyone watches them anyway, but tonight’s Golden Globes are a foregone conclusion. Bet the farm on Brokeback Mountain (I mean, come on, it’s a sensitive movie by Ang Lee with gorgeous cinematography (so I’m told - I’ve yet to see the film) - and it’s about GAY COWBOYS! Talk about a […]

Sharon Once Again Undergoes Brain Surgery

Wow - truly horrible news; at this point one has to wonder if survival is worse than death, from a sheer suffering standpoint. Polls show his newly formed Kadima party would win the election if it were held today, but of course, you can’t be sure how much of that margin comes from sympathy […]

More On Iran

Pajamas has a roundup of reaction to the Der Spiegel report claiming the Bush is planning on striking Iranian nuclear facilities. Meanwhile, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad seems determined to bring public anti-Semitic references to a level not seen since the end of the Second World War:
“Don’t you think that continuation of genocide by expelling […]

Happy Holidays To You, Too, Jerk!

Alright, my tongue is way in cheek with that headline, but there’s a lot of holiday snarkiness in the air, it seems…on the heels of the embedded blogger ‘controversy’ that I referred to below comes a series of posts decrying right-wing bloggers in general and Pajamas bloggers in particular as one-voice lemmings whose opinions are […]

We’ve Got Good News and Bad News

The good news: 3rd quarter GDP growth was 4.1%, a very strong (if slightly less than forecast) reading. Either Bush has been much better at managing the economy than he is given credit for, or presidents simply don’t sway a global economy that much anymore and the U.S. is just that strong, economically. […]

Trouble In Iraq?

Whether this is the typical whining of the losing party (think of the followers of Al Gore and John Kerry) or a more serious reaction is hard to gauge at this point, as the concept of democracy is still so new in Iraq, but the Sunnis are raising quite a ruckus over preliminary results of […]

The Antidote to Terror?

Freedom, of course. Critics of the Bush Administration and apologists for the terrorists often say this is a simplistic view; however, events in Iraq confirm the suspicion that the real fear of the Zarqawis and bin Ladens is the spread of freedom in the Muslim world. Witness the contrast between the disillusioned Sunni […]

It’s Election Day

Millions of Iraqis participated today in the most basic of democratic functions, an event that would have been unthinkable for any of them had the U.S. not put a stop to the tyranny of Saddam’s regime. At Pajamas, you can find a series of on-the-scene reports from a variety of correspondents. Turnout is […]

That OTHER Country We Freed

In all the carping about tactics and mistakes, it’s easy to lose the big picture: the Taliban and Iraq under Saddam Hussein were truly evil, tyrannical regimes whose overthrow gave hope to millions who had never known it before, and without the strong hand of the U.S. and its allies, would have had no prospect […]

Whom Do You Trust?

Peng Hwa Ang of the UN Working Group on Internet Governance responds to Claudia Rosett’s call for keeping the notoriously corrupt ‘world government’ out of the most successful innovation of the last 50 years. The Professor helpfully frames the debate in just the right terms:
It is important to note that the United Nations is […]

The CSM on Pajamas

The Christian Science Monitor has one of the few pieces I’ve seen yet on Pajamas Media that is not either (a) a complete snark fest, or (b) a thinly disguised PR release. Critics such as Ann Althouse (naturally!) are quoted, along with co-founder Roger L. Simon, who basically says give the venture a chance, […]
