This is the William F. Buckley I want to remember. After Vidal calls him a crypto-Nazi, I love Buckley’s toothy, bemused expression as he threatens to “sock” Vidal:

Politics and Foreign Policy

Britain is tracking 22,000 Islamic radicals, 200 networks and 30 active terror plots by members of the Religion of Peace.

I don’t like Hillary. But at least she’s a grown-up.

Jimmy Carter announces Hamas is ready for a peace agreement. All they want is a large swath of Sudetenland occupied territory.

In response to Dhimmi Khadr’s Hamas summit meeting, Rep. Joe Knollenberg (R-Mich) plans to defund the Carter Center. Also, John Bolton kicks Dhimmi Khadr around like a nerf ball.

American Thinker has a valuable article on Saddam and his support for terrorism. One of the Big Lies of the Left is the claim that Saddam’s terror ties were a myth. Check out these findings from declassified Iraqi documents.

Ace on those mysteriously disappearing Sadrists.

Rick Santorum backs McCain.

Society and Culture

We’re not all like that Taxi Driver. Research shows gun owners are overall a pretty sunny bunch.

Jared Bridges: Ben Stein’s Expelled was “intelligently designed.” Brent Bozell is also impressed. HT: Challies / From the Cheap Seats has big thots as well.
