Gay Softball World Series Lawsuit
This hilarious report from one of last month’s issues of National Review: A lawsuit has recently been filed over the 2008 Gay Softball World Series, in which a San Francisco team called D2 was stripped of its second-place finish for having three bisexuals on its roster. The rules allow no more than two straight... »
Living Liberally
Matt Labash has to be one of my favorite authors. When the Weekly Standard features one of his pieces, I actually set aside my OCD method of reading magazines from cover to cover and I go straight to his piece to read it first. His latest feature was no exception, and is funnier than... »
Mattisisms
The Weekly Standard had in last week’s Scrapbook some memorable quotes heard from new Central Command head Marine General James Mattis: ■ Speaking to tribal leaders in Iraq: “I come in peace.

Jeffrey Goldberg, a correspondent for the Atlantic, cast a spotlight on yet another disgustingly overt example of pure bias in the mainstream media, particularly at the anti-Semitic Reuters newswire. He points to a Reuters news item which contains the following despicable sentences: Police said it was a “terrorist attack” — Israel’s term for a Palestinian [...]
In the [sparse] reporting of the Palestinians’ massacre of the Fogel family, several newspapers stand out with their distorted sense of “balance”, i.e., where they feel overwhelmingly uncomfortable describing the barbarity of the Palestinians without at least taking a swipe or two at the Israelis, no matter how patently irrelevant or disgustingly disrespectful it comes [...]
