Dum Pendebat Filius

Michelle Malkin erzählt uns die wahre Absicht eines Kriegsdenkmals:
I am not an architect, but here is my 9/11 architectural philosophy: War memorials should memorialize war. If you want peace and understanding and healing and good will toward all, go build Kabbalah centers.
Please, for the sake of those who have sacrificed, let’s put the design [...]

Res ipsa loquitur, readers. The thing speaks for itself, and is here reproduced in full, in all its shining glory. A college student at UNC-Chapel Hill has wrested the foaming flagon of wingnut Kool-Aid out of the white-knuckled grasp of David Horowitz and has drank her fill, coming out of total obscurity to [...]

The Washington Post’s “Dr Gridlock” has devoted today’s column to a concatenation of readers’ pet peeves. Me being a Northern Virginia resident, the topic of traffic is, of course, prone to recur frequently in my thoughts, and I’ve written about it before. Here are some of my own automotive pet peeves:

Exceeding the 15 [...]

Michelle M. commemorates 9/11 by displaying her prowess with a handgun.
Unlike many left-wingers, I like handguns and am a staunch supporter of the Second Amendment (the right to keep and bear arms is one of the fundamental rights we all possess as American citizens), but this is deeply silly indeed. What’s she trying to [...]

Dennis Prager plays fast and loose with the concept of sin this morning.
First he says this:
Some religious groups have said the devastation of New Orleans is the wages of sin brought on by the “decadent” lifestyle of that city… Like most good traits, however, the religious tendency to see God’s judgment in tragedy comes [...]

What do you see there, readers? Do you see the sappy grin of a beloved cartoon character, or do you see the dreaded Crescent of Islam, the grim harbinger of a future of dhimmitude and destruction?

Wingnut Free-Association
Featuring the language of hate and the language of cowardice
Pretend like you’re Dr Carl Jung, Swiss chronometer in hand, and let’s go for it:

One/Un/waaHid: Memorial

Proposed Flight 93 Memorial

Two/Deux/ithnayn: Hilaal

hilaal (crescent, Islamic)
ﻫﻼﻞ
That’s a crescent, a Muslim symbol.

Three/Trois/thalaatha: Croissant

croissant
(Tasty, but French; ergo un-American)

Four/Quatre/arbaa’: Commie

Hammer and sickle
That means Communism, baby.

Yes, this is all [...]

By now, readers, you’ll have heard about the man who interrupted Vice President Cheney’s on-camera interview by telling him to “go fuck himself.” Who was that guy? Something of a character, it seems. Here’s his explanation of what drove him to his display of anger and intemperate language:
As Marble explains, he was [...]

I went out of town last Friday, readers, and you didn’t get any Friday MP3s. I’ve been neglecting Dum Pendebat Filius lately, that’s for sure. I’ll make up for last week’s lapse with some good music now.
This week I’m focusing on the fabled industrial label Wax Trax! Records, a longtime favorite of mine. [...]

What’s wrong with America?
That’s the question that Hurricane Katrina has brought to the minds of some social-conservative Kool-Aid drinkers this week, as they stroke their chins pensively, sip their fruit-flavored drinks, and ponder what it all means. What went wrong, and what can we do to prevent such needless tragedy in future?
Thomas Sowell has [...]
