I don't have much to say on the topic today but this crossed my screen earlier this week and seems to be of much more importance that much of the "Breaking News of the day" airtime filler that sucks all of the oxygen out of every news cycle. I will log it here for later …

Since time is short for me this weekend, I will not attempt to tie this post back into my various rants at the legacy site about how proper history will not be kind to the modern anti-intellectualism of the left and their stoolies within our perimeter. (Maybe I will take some time later to link …
My morning stroll through trusted sites passes directly through Instapundit.

Normally I just post stuff like this as updates in the comments of the recent relevant post on the subject but, given this new format, I am going to try to make a habit of putting what I consider substantive updates in follow-up posts like this. This update (H/T Instapundit) links to a couple of …
