GONZOBALL...and fare thee well...It's been almost two years since my unceremonious resignation from political blogging. It's not that I've lost interest, but a combination of burnout, and an interest in preserving my own sanity has made me lose all interest in political rant grandstanding.Thus, I now bust balls about sports.

LOOK MA, NO RIOTS!Pretty "offensive" stuff, right? But if you notice, neither Jesus or Moses is depicted in the cartoons. That makes it kosher (so to speak) to Muslims. Insulting peoples' faiths, or propagating genocidal intentions, or quoting from the long-discredited "Protocols of the Elders of Zion," that's all cool. Just don't draw a Prophet.

JERRY LEWIS IS A GENIUS IN FRANCE, TOOThank God for Sam Mendes, the one-hit wonder director of "American Beauty." After sitting through his muddled mess of a film "Jarhead," I had a feeling that I, a simple and likely retarded American, was missing something. Plot? Character development? Realism? No, no, according to Mr. Mendes, it's because I was expecting an "Oliver Stone film." ???“

BAD NEWS BLOGSI realize I've become a little one-note here, what with my harping on the nihlism and brutality of Islamo-fasicsm and it's enablers, so (to paraphrase Nixon) let me make one thing perfectly clear:I do not want more war. I do not want a war with Iran, Syria or North Korea, as much as I think it's in all mankind's interest that the governments of those nations fall. I am not trying

ANTI-WAR AND ANSWERIt bears repeating, that you can't be anti-war, and pro-Milosevic, Kim Jong-il, and jihadists. Well, you can, but you're a jackass hypocrite. To be against war and militarism, in the tradition of Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht, is one thing. But to have a record of consistent support for war and militarism, from the Red Army in Eastern Europe to the Serbian ethnic

THE GUARDIAN'S OWN FASCISTThis was so good, I just lifted the whole thing from Andrew Sullivan:The Guardian, in the wake of mass murder, publishes this piece defending Islamo-fascism from one of its own "trainee journalists" who also advocates a world-dominant Islamist state, calls for a war to extinguish the Jewish state, and openly boasts that his loyalty is not to any nation-state.

THEY'RE BAAAAAAAAACKAl-qaeda, you know that unwieldly global network of Islamo-fascism and terrorism, has struck the transit systems of yet another metropolis. Waiting for the "they had it coming" posts on Michael Moore's website, as he has previously compared Al-qaeda to the "Minutemen." Waiting for Ward Churchill's latest, when he'll likely compare the London subway riders to "Little

OH, IF ONLY I WAS IN GRAD SCHOOLFrom Reason:“One of the peculiar phenomena of our time is the renegade Liberal,” wrote George Orwell in 1945. He meant not the classical liberal who believed in individual freedoms and small government but the leftist liberal who glorified communist experiments and disdained middle-class life. To Orwell, the existence of intellectuals who loved the Soviet Union

WHICH SIDE OF THE BERLIN WALL WERE PEOPLE TRYING TO GET OVER?I've seen this photo in a number of publications, but our old pal Michael Moynihan, formerly of The Politburo and currently in self-imposed exile in Sweden added his typically acerbic commentary:In a move bound to confuse Eva Björklund and Oliver Stone, a group of Cubans sacrificed a life of free healthcare, occasional rock concerts and

ART TAKES A DIVEWhenever public funding of "the arts" is threatened with cutbacks, the words "ignorant," "stupid," and "cultureless" are thrown about. But with the shock and awe-ful state of much grant-seeking performance art, can you really blame the government for tightening it's belt? I'd say let this enlightening expression be funded by the people who enjoy it: Barbra Streisand and two

SOCIALLY CONSERVATIVE DEMOCRATS, R.I.P.In the last Democratic primary, I was astounded, and at times appalled, that I found Sen. Joe Lieberman (D-CT) to be the most appealing candidate. After all, he seemed to have his head on straight when it came to actively confronting Islamist terrorism, and he certainly was more fiscally responsible than Bush, so why did I have such pause in considering him

HELL'S KITCHENI've been choking on disgust over the now-imminent demolition of the Far West Side of Manhattan for the sake of a football stadium that will host a whopping EIGHT GAMES a year, and if all goes as planned, the site of the first nuclear terror attack on U.S. soil when the Olympic games come here in 2012.I don't know which point to latch on to.

NEVER AGAIN...AGAIN AND AGAINI don't subscribe to the philosophy that any and all criticism of the state of Israel is tantamount to anti-Semitism. However, I do suspect that most of the criticism is based in a "those crafty, usurping Jews" mindset. It appears to be the only plausible explanation for many liberals (as well as paleo-conservatives like Bob Novak and Pat Buchanan) explaining away

FREEDOM ON THE MARCHThere have now been three massive protests in Lebanon in two weeks. The first was an anti-Syrian occupation protest attended by about 200,000. The next was a pro-Syrian rally, organized by the terrorist group Hezzbollah (best known for religious extremism and suicide bombings in Israel). This rally dwarfed the previous one, and was attended by 500,000. Suddenly, it looked

THE VAN GOGH EFFECTI realize that it's been five months, so it's an "old" story, but I just can't get over the staggering lack of outrage at Dutch filmmaker Theo Van Gogh's public butchering by a fanatical Islamist. But what is this? Somebody at Yale took notice?The events in Holland this November were hardly the first occurrence of their type. There may be older examples of artists being

DECLINE AND FALL OF THE ARAB "STREET"?Christopher Hitchens discusses how the dreaded cliche "The Arab Street" is fading fast.
