It starts with a trickle, and the trickle becomes a stream, and the stream becomes a river. And then the river becomes a flood: Parents should be allowed to have their newborn babies killed because they are “morally irrelevant” and ending their lives is no different to abortion, a group of medical ethicists linked [...]  Very much in the eye of the beholder, according to the admittedly partisan Hinderaker, who surveys the legacy media’s response to “Act of Valor“: (Quite) a few movies have been made about post-September 11 warfare in Iraq, Afghanistan and around the world. Virtually every one of them has been shameless propaganda. You probably didn’t [...] It may or may not surprise the readership here, but there was a time during which your scribe considered giving over the Nomex tuxedo for to go to law school. The University of Virginia being his target destination. But two roads diverged in a yellow wood, etc. And that has made all the difference: [...] This beggars belief (and I mean that in both interpretations): The incident occurred at the Mechanicsburg, Pa., Halloween parade where Ernie Perce, an atheist activist, marched as a zombie Muhammad.
