Noonan on Obama and Afghanistan

The New Neo Posted on December 4, 2009 by neoDecember 4, 2009

Yes, I’m back to critiquing Peggy Noonan’s columns. But please forgive me; there’s a personal reason this time. As vanderleun has pointed out, she seems to have stolen my meme: After the president announced his plan he seemed to slip … Continue reading →

Jones and the Climategate data: when was it destroyed?

The New Neo Posted on December 4, 2009 by neoDecember 4, 2009

The blog Wattsupwiththat makes an excellent point (hat tip: commeter “huxley”)—one that the press might have pointed out as well, had its members been the least bit interested in doing their jobs: if the raw data was actually destroyed back … Continue reading →

The Sunmaid maiden gets a makeover

The New Neo Posted on December 4, 2009 by neoDecember 4, 2009

I don’t know about you, but I think this is an utter outrage. Why mess with an icon that has stood the test of time? Oh, I know she’s been spruced up periodically in the past, but she’s always remained … Continue reading →

Palin and the birthers: “it’s a fair question”

The New Neo Posted on December 4, 2009 by neoDecember 4, 2009

The blogs are all over the fact that, when pressed about Obama’s birth certificate, Sarah Palin said that it’s a fair question. You know what? It is. But to the Palin-haters (and their numbers are legion), this is just another … Continue reading →

Is Obama his own worst enemy?

The New Neo Posted on December 3, 2009 by neoDecember 3, 2009

It is interesting that two analyses of Obama’s newly-announced Afghan policy conclude with essentially the same thought. In the WSJ, Eliot A. Cohen ends his essay with these words: As a wartime leader [Obama] will tend many wounds, but the … Continue reading →

Climategate: using the tried and true Madoff approach

The New Neo Posted on December 3, 2009 by neoDecember 3, 2009

Commenter “BumperStickerist” at Ace’s makes the following observation about Climategate: What the CRU is doing is identical to what Bernie Madoff did. Bernie asserted that his investment scheme was legit. Bernie didn’t share his raw data. There were skeptics who … Continue reading →

Republicans up, Democrats down—for now

The New Neo Posted on December 3, 2009 by neoDecember 3, 2009

A new Rasmussan poll indicates that the percentage of Americans identifying themselves as Democrats has gone down to 36% (a shift of minus-five since the beginning of 2009). Two percent of that drop has been this November alone. The percentage … Continue reading →

And about that 18-month exit date in Afghanistan…

The New Neo Posted on December 2, 2009 by neoDecember 2, 2009

It is clear that the only reason for Obama to publicly disclose that 18-month exit date in Afghanistan was to address his own Leftist base and say to them: “please don’t hate me too much; this distasteful war thingee won’t … Continue reading →

Anne Frank: are people good at heart?

The New Neo Posted on December 2, 2009 by neoDecember 2, 2009

I’m currently reading Francine Prose’s Anne Frank: the book, the life, the afterlife. It’s about the process by which Anne Frank wrote and then rewrote her diary, with an eye to its ultimate publication, and how her father edited her … Continue reading →

Climategate reading

The New Neo Posted on December 2, 2009 by neoDecember 2, 2009

If you haven’t read these three pieces on Climategate yet, I suggest you do: this, this, and this.

Obama faces the enemy at West Point: a day late and a dollar short

The New Neo Posted on December 2, 2009 by neoDecember 2, 2009

In Obama’s long-awaited “hello I must be going” speech on Afghanistan, delivered at West Point, there were no real surprises. We knew he would take the opportunity to bash the previous administration, ignore the influence of the surge on Iraq, … Continue reading →

The New Neo Posted on December 1, 2009 by neoDecember 1, 2009
