  • Sharia Creeps Into Zanzibar. 2006-08-31. I’m sure my throngs of adoring fans have wondered what’s up: It’s been a combination of a slow news week and a busy work week. Anyway, today I noticed this curious example of impending Sharia law on CNN: Zanizibar Muslim leader: Ban Freddie Mercury party. I, for one, was personally offended by this news because Queen is one of the most musically-talented and technologically-superior bands in history, and any move to ban a celebration of their members or their work is tantamount to crushing the human creative spirit under the iron bootheel of fascism.

  • Welcome To Web 2.0. 2006-10-05. I saw on Crowhill that one of Michelle Malkin’s videos (something about Islamic violence) got pulled from YouTube. This struck me as funny. :) And not just because Malkin, a la the best war profiteers, is personally profiting from the culture wars.

  • Welcome To Web 2.0, Part 2. 2006-10-05. A short addendum to my post on Malkin’s video getting pulled from YouTube: 1) Now that I’m home, I can verify that there is a “Flag as Inappropriate” link right below each video, though admittedly you have to login to use that feature. (Not a problem for bots.) 2) I don’t dispute that dhimmitude was the motivation for wanting to yank Malkin’s videos, I just don’t think YouTube submitted to dhimmitude so much as they submitted to a flaw in the peer-review system.

  • On I’m Not Emeril’s Religion Of Peace. 2007-01-03. Old Dominion Blog Alliance member I’m Not Emeril recently wrote a defense of Virgil Goode’s suspicions about the religion of Islam. Fellow ODBA member SWAC Girl wrote that it was a “well-researched article on the subject that needs to be read.”

  • A Post-Mortem On Discussion. 2007-01-10. There comes a time when “discussion” is no longer fruitful. I tried to challenge some of the beliefs of the SWAC Bloggers on In-Politically Correct today, but I guess I’m wasting my time. I tried to be polite on their blog but I don’t need to do that so much here.
