Today is the 60th birthday of my political and literary hero, P. J. O'Rourke. And, ironically enough, I was re-reading "Give War A Chance" in the middle of the night, and one passage inspired me. In that passage, P. J. explains the current state of the Middle East, as of... [Full Story]

Fake, But Accurate

Over at Rob Port's excellent blog, Say Anything, he has a contributor by the name of "Pilgrim." (Why bloggers can't just use their real names, I'll never know.) He's a damned fine essayist, solid thinker, and seems like a decent sort. But he got fed a story that was apparently... [Full Story]

I saw this Saturday night and was ROFL. Thanks to the miracle of modern technology, YouTube allows me to share it with you - and the world. UPDATE: Apparently, NBC has pulled all versions of the video down. Why? No clue - unless they don't want to offend Iran. Go... [Full Story]

If Satire Is Your Cup Of Tea...

As we've proved here on several occasions doing satire is hard. When done really, really well many people just won't get it. I ran across an example of really good satire today at, of all places, ESPN.com by blogger DJ Gallo. The deal with the piece is that unless you're... [Full Story]

Fight the real enemy

Posted by Jay Tea · Published: May 18, 2007 · Comments (15)

One of the bigger arguments going around lately is that the US is not fighting the right people. Some say that we didn't "finish the job" in Afghanistan. Others say that we haven't really gone after the really troublesome nations in the world, and then cite North Korea, Iran, Syria,... [Full Story]

I blame society

Yesterday, I wrote a very angry piece about the Virginia Tech shooting. As can be expected, it provoked a lot of emotional responses. Unfortunately, some of them were more emotional than I was prepared to handle. For comments that were too intense, I found I banned fred, nukem high, jack,... [Full Story]

For some time now, Wizbang! has enjoyed a bit of popularity among the conservative, Christian, Republican crowds. This has made me occasionally feel like a bit of an odd duck, being a self-described "militant moderate," agnostic, independent, but for the most part I don't mind the association. (One of my...

Jack Bauer's Time Management course

Embracing the Chickenhawk argument

Posted by Jay Tea · Published: January 17, 2007 · Comments (59)

For a long, long time now, I've been staunch in my opposition to the "Chickenhawk" argument. In fact, one of my proudest pieces was an all-out assault on its philosophical underpinnings. But maybe I'm getting older and jaded, or prematurely senile, or just tired of fighting the good fight, because... [Full Story]

Wow, what a week it's been in the Valerie Plame mess. First, there was the sight of Richard Armitage -- Colin Powell's #2 man when Powell was Secretary of State -- being frog-marched out of his home by FBI agents and charged with exposing Valerie Plame's identity. Some cynics say... [Full Story]

Yesterday, North Korea fired about half a dozen missiles, including one or two of their most ambitious project, a planned intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) that could, conceivably, reach as far as Chicago. And all of them plunged into the Sea of Japan. Let's see... North Korea is working on nuclear... [Full Story]

A sorry excuse for an apology

Posted by Jay Tea · Published: April 7, 2006 · Comments (13)

Last week, something odd happened to my TV. Just like on "Friends," when Joey and Chandler's TV started getting free porn, my TV started letting me hear the thoughts of the people along with their words. It was fascinating. For example, I happened to catch Representative Cynthia McKinney's apology on... [Full Story]

Hillary on the hoof

Everyone's all in a dither about Hillary Clinton comparing the Republican-led congress to a plantation, saying that only a liberal could get away with such an insensitive remark. I've got my own theory, though, that I haven't seen floating around. As a lifelong New Hampshirite, I consider myself a bit... [Full Story]
