More emerging Boston bombing stories
I speculated some time ago that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev might kill himself before capture. And in fact, I was very surprised later to learn that he’d been taken alive. It turns out, though, that there’s a very good chance he made … Continue reading →
As Denmark goes?
Once a population has been welfarized, can a nation go back? Countries in Europe are facing problems as they start to run out of what Margaret Thatcher called “other people’s money.” So Denmark is trying, at least a little bitty … Continue reading →
Sunday roundup
Sunday is usually my day of blogrest. But so much has been happening lately that I thought I’d try an Instapundit turn. You’d do well to read Stuart Schneiderman on the left’s “poor pitiful bombers” narrative (hat tip: “sharpie”). And … Continue reading →
