Living history
In the New York Sun week before last, Meghan Clyne covered the failure of the Holocaust Museum to touch on the issue of Arab/Islamist anti-Semitism: “U.S. Holocaust Museum comes under fire for failing to address Arab anti-Semitism.” The “fire” referred to in the article’s headline comes from Carol Greenwald and her Holocaust Museum Watch. Clyne reports: Ms. Greenwald, a financial-investment analyst who sits on the boards of several pro-Israel organizations, »
South Dakotans Advocate Diversity
In what could be a model for other states, legislators in the South Dakota House and Senate have introduced a bill that would require each public college and university in the state to report periodically to the legislature on its efforts to ensure intellectual diversity on campus. The Rapid City Journal reports: Rep. Phyllis Heineman, R-Sioux Falls, chairwoman of the House Education Committee and the chief sponsor of HB1222, said »

The clients from hell
All attorneys have had them, clients who take the fun out of practicing law. One sub-species is the client with a losing case who can’t understand why you’re not cleaning the other side’s clock. In fact, some otherwise agreeable clients are like this. Recall the story about the client who asked John Roberts how he could have lost a case in the Supreme Court 9-0, to which Roberts replied “because »

The silence of the Times
Last night at the end of his long post “Ahabs everywhere,” John took a look at the New York Times article by Eric Lichtblau and Adam Liptak purporting to assess the Bush administration’s argument for the legality of the NSA surveillance program. John notes the article’s failure to come to terms with the case law unanimously recognizing the president’s inherent constitutional authority to conduct warrantless domestic surveillance for foreign intelligence »

Yucaipa be kidding
In today’s New York Post, Peter Schweizer has an update on his study of liberal hypocrisy: “A fund for friends.” Schweizer’s column takes a look at the performance of two investment funds — Yucaipa Corporate Initiatives and Yucaipa American — on which Bill Clinton serves as senior adviser. The two funds manage pension fund investments from New York and California government employees and teachers. Schweizer notes that while the funds »

Reality check
Caroline Glick, in the Jerusalem Post, provides what I think is a persuasive analysis of the Palestinian elections. She attributes the Hamas victory mainly to two developments — Arafat’s death and Israel’s withdrawal from Gaza and northern Samaria: Arafat’s death left Fatah without a charismatic, popular leader able to rally Palestinian society behind him and his party. Israel’s decision to withdraw from Gaza and northern Samaria without first reaching a »

Ahabs Everywhere
Most Democrats see every event through the filter of their hatred for President Bush. No matter what happens, anywhere in the world, their spin on events is that they discredit the President. Democrats and their media allies are like an armada of Ahabs, cruising the seas in their obsessive pursuit of the white whale who defeats them time after time, never giving up the chase. Here are a few samples »

A mosque grows in Bridgeview
Our friend Hugh Hewitt drew my attention to Joel Mowbray’s Wall Street Journal column about the Bridgeview mosque in suburban Chicago that has been taken over by radical Islamists. Mowbray’s Journal column is “Reign of Radicals.” Mowbray reports: Between 1991 and 2001, the mosque gave a total of almost $400,000 to three Islamic charities: the Global Relief Foundation, the Holy Land Foundation and the Benevolence International Foundation. All had offices »

The Kiddie Korps acts-up
Jim VandeHei at the Washington Post reports on the attack of the angry leftist bloggers on liberal Democrats who are trying to broaden (or at least prevent further erosion of) the party’s appeal to mainstream voters. The piece includes this quote from Steve Elmendorf, a Democratic operative and lobbyist: The bloggers and online donors represent an important resource for the party, but they are not representative of the majority you »
