“What else can we call a man who produced 14,352 square feet of drawings for the Eiffel Tower—drawings which called for 15,000 structural members and 2,500,000 rivet holes—and who put this immense jigsaw puzzle together without, as far as we know, a single error?” Mario Salvadori

"There is something especially nauseating about the latest Middle East war — scenes of worldwide Islamic protests with photos of Jews as apes, protesters (in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida of all places!) screaming about nuking Israel and putting Jews in ovens, parades of children dressed up with suicide vests and fake rockets, near constant anti-Semitic vicious sloganeering, Gaza mosques stuffed with rockets to be used against civilians — all to be collated with creepy Hamas rhetoric about the annihilation of Israel. This is the world in which we now live." Victor Davis Hanson.

"Israeli air strikes kill cute kittens and Hamas terrorist leaders. But mostly Hamas terrorist leaders." Robert Stacy McCain.

"With all sincerity, Joaquin Phoenix might just be the best celebrity in the world right now. I don’t really know what place he’s at in his life, but I sort of want to go there and buy a condo." Alex Blagg.

" I can't think of a single movie, from It's A Wonderful Life to Mary Poppins, that wouldn't be improved by a whole bunch of machine guns and dead Nazis." Tamara K, View From the Porch.
