This time, it’s personal: To end where we came in, M J Murphy wrote: “I think you owe Dr. Miller an apology.” Au contraire, I think “Dr Miller” owes me and Oriana an apology. Since he decided to go to such kinky lengths to catch my eye, he has accused me of failing to provide a source for a quote: False. He’s accused me of making up famous rulings of ......

Who does Jennifer Lynch, the chief commissar of the Canadian Human Rights Commission, look up to as a role model? A grotesque speech that she gave a few weeks ago, at the ironically-named Discrimination Prevention Forum in Ottawa, gives us a window into Lynch’s warped world. You can see her full remarks here . Below is her speech in italics, with my comments interspersed. Welcome to t......

Earlier I wrote: Speaking of Human Rights Commissions: it seems appropriate to recall, in this week of ghoulish anniversaries, that the one-time head of the Indianapolis Human Rights Commission was none other than... mass murdering Marxist Jim Jones.

Alistair Cooke, whose 100th birthday is today, was "a terrific writer who became famous as a talker - on Radio 4 in Britain and on PBS in America".

If you have been following magazines and blogs for the past year, you are probably aware of the human rights and free speech controversy involving Mark Steyn and  Maclean’s . Starting in 2005, Maclean’s ran a series of articles by Steyn and Barbara Amiel which, according to a group of Osgoode Hall law students, cast Muslims in a dangerously negative light.

Obama, Action Hero or Bobblehead Figurine? Mark Steyn has an interesting column on National Review, titled, “ Double O bama .� In it he is aghast at the new 007, James Bond, actor Daniel Craig ’s response to the question as to which of the two major party candidates for president in this year’s election would make a better 007.

A few more thoughts, in no particular order, on National Review’s 2008 post election cruise. 1. I met up with Mona Charen to chat over drinks before dinner one night. I am a big fan of Mona’s books Useful Idiots and, most recently, Do-Gooders . Mona has the gift of writing about enraging subjects with lucidity and common sense, a bit in the manner of Thomas Sowell. 2.......

(Guest post by Greg Forster) After the U.S. entered World War II in 1941, it was formally at war with Germany, but American attention was primarily focused on the Pacific theater. This was only natural given that the impetus for our engagement was Pearl Harbor, but another contributing factor was widespread anti-British sentiment among American elites. This animus against Britain had bee......

A thought for the day: In “A Clarification of Questions,” Iran’s Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini wrote that “if a fly gets into the throat of one who is fasting, it is not necessary to pull it out.” Hey, Minions: A couple of weeks ago, Scott Gilbreath and I attended the Halifax Symposium. Professor John Miller was one of the presenters. His animus towards bloggers, ......

Professor John Miller has an air-tight defence against the copy of Ayatollah Khomeini’s “Blue Book� that Mark Steyn promised to send him .  Whatever it says, he won’t believe it . The Blue Book “is a collection of quotes purportedly from him, but without any documentation�. […] [N]o one has verified that the Ayatollah ever said: “A man who has had sexual relations with an ......

Journalism Professor John Miller is determined to show his students and peers that Mark Steyn (who did not attend ”J School” is an unprofessional rube.   So far that doesn’t seem to be working out so well for the good professor.  Read the whole thing (nobody fisks like Steyn) and be sure to make it to the final sentence.

Ryerson University journalism professor John Miller has crossed a line, and Mark Steyn has had enough. At a recent Halifax Free Speech debate , Prof Miller said that he was unable to locate the source of a quotation from Ayatollah Khomeini that Mr Steyn had cited in a column. The only place Miller mentioned searching for the quotation was on the internet. That seems bizarre because the Aya......

In an absolutely brilliant piece Mark Steyn nails it with this sentence: McCain vs Obama is not the choice many of us would have liked in an ideal world. But then it’s not an “ideal world�, and the belief that it can be made so is one of the things that separates those who think Obama will “heal the planet� and those of us who support McCain faute de mieux .
