Bush, Babes, and Human Rights by Christopher Brauchli I hate [slavery] because it deprives the republican example of its just influence in the world-enables the enemies of free institutions, with plausibility, to taunt us as hypocrites-causes the real friends of freedom to doubt our sincerity. - Abraham Lincoln, 1854 speech at Peoria, Illinois

First of all, Davis makes two contradictory points. In point one, he says that elitism is unconnected from wealth; it's an attitude. In point two, he says, that elitism hurts democrats more because it's hypocritical for the rich to rail against the rich. Well, which is it? Are they elitist because they're rich or not? Second: Again, fairly or not, McCain looks like an old torn-ca

Which Bush do you believe? "America keeps its word," the president brayed in Baghdad (please ignore the fact that he had bypassed America's Constitution to get us there. "America" hadn't said a word.). But now, as Lew often reminds us,...

OK, here first and then a simple question. While her fellow students at MIT read newspaper articles about the massacre of Muslims in Bosnia in the 1990s, Aafia Siddiqui sprang to action, giving slide shows and rousing speeches to collect...

FINALLY Hollywood makes a film that says President George W Bush was right. But director Christopher Nolan had to disguise it a little, so journalists wouldn't freak and the film's more fashionable stars wouldn't walk. So he hides Bush in a cape. He even sticks a mask on him, with pointy ears for some reason. Sure, when the terrified citizens of Gotham City scream for Bush to come save them, Nolan...

Several conservative writers recently noted parallels between Batman, as portrayed by Christian Bale in Christopher Nolan’s new film, “The Dark Knight”, and President Bush. I blogged the subject here. One question remains. If Bush is Batman, then who is this? Something to think about?

My post arguing that the Dark Knight is about George Bush has received a fair amount of traffic and comments both for and against. I think it’s worth noting that, in addition to the Wall Street Journal writer I linked at the time, other bloggers and columnists have since come to the same conclusion. Scott at [...]

A boycott isolated to the opening ceremony avoids targeting the athletes. It would have sent a strong symbolic statement to Beijing at little substantive cost to US-Chinese relations. Instead, Bush has made a powerful statement of tacit approval. His decision is regrettable.

Andrew Bolt, in the Melbourne Herald-Sun, agrees with Andrew Klavan: Batman is George W. Bush. Ironically, Hollywood has found a way to smash box office records which it is not going to like: well-executed action movies with conservative themes. Pity that John Wayne is gone. Finally Hollywood makes a film that says President George W Bush [...]

By emphasizing the commonality of the U.S. and Europe's destinies above all else, Obama is beginning the healing process after eight years of Bush pompously dictating to the world.

Or, rather, Batman is President Bush. From Andrew Klavan in tomorrow's Wall Street Journal (I am not making this up): A cry for help goes out from a city beleaguered by violence and fear: A beam of light flashed into the night sky, the dark symbol of a bat projected onto the surface of the racing clouds . . . Oh, wait a minute. That's not a bat, actually. In fact, when you trace the outline with your...
