I’m a blonde secular Jewish bisexual. That makes me very versatile. I can be secular when needed, I can be Jewish when needed, and I can flirt with anyone I need to. And it never occurs to anyone in the British media a Jewish woman might not be left of center so that was never a problem. – So sayeth an American friend of mine when I asked her how she ended up working for the BBC.

 I belong to a Facebook group called “Che Guevara was a murderer and your T-Shirt is not cool”. It has 10,935 members. It’s not nearly enough.

“You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours.” – General Charles Napier expresses a nineteenth century view of multiculturalism, quoted by Douglas Murray in the course of explaining that the West’s values are better.

It’s a pretty good piece, though author Bara Vaida calls me a “conservative,” which is only true if “conservative” is a synonym for “supports the war.” But then, that’s common usage these days. October 5th, 2007 | Comments are closed

Andrew Keen: Are you comparing the Instapundit, the idiotic crazy libertarian ex-law professor, to Polly Toynbee and Robert Fisk? They are my heroes! Adriana Lukas: No, I am not comparing Instapundit to Polly Toynbee or Robert Fisk. That would be unfair to Instapundit. – Adriana Lukas, speaking at a debate at the Front Line Club.

In the next few days Pope Benedict plans to issue his second encyclical – the most authoritative statement a pope can issue – which apparently will focus on social and economic inequity in a globalized economy. In the statement, he is expected to denounce the use of tax havens as socially-unjust and immoral in cheating the greater well-being of society. According to the Times (UK) newspaper, the statement may have been inspired by a recent request to the Vatican by Romano Prodi, the Italian prime minister, who urged church leaders to speak out on tax evasion. – The delightful Corporate Accountability and Workplace website. Quite right, too. What higher moral authority could there possibly be than a Prime Minister of Italy? September 3rd, 2007 | 46 comments - (Comments are closed)
