Book Review: Unnatural Selection – WSJ.com. By JONATHAN V. LAST Mara Hvistendahl is worried about girls. Not in any political, moral or cultural sense but as an existential matter. She is right to be. In China, India and numerous other countries (both developing and developed), there are many more men than women, the result of systematic campaigns against baby girls.

Geert Wilders: In Defense of ‘Hurtful’ Speech – WSJ.com. By GEERT WILDERS Yesterday was a beautiful day for freedom of speech in the Netherlands.

Warren Kozak: What If Jews Had Followed the Palestinian Path? – WSJ.com.

By WARREN KOZAK It is doubtful that there has ever been a more miserable human refuse than Jewish survivors after World War II.

James Bovard: My Summer Job Road to Perdition – WSJ.com. I’m sure Obama’s “create jobs” program(s) are different and will truly work. ——— By JAMES BOVARD Mayors, governors and congressmen are busily hyping summer jobs programs. Kids can learn a great deal from a season on the government payroll. I benefitted from my 1973 experience at the Virginia Highway Department, digging postholes, cutting brush and, best of all, wielding a chainsaw—an experience that proved invaluable for my future work...

June 12 | Posted by mrossol | American Thought, Party Politics

The Weekend Interview with Michele Bachmann: ‘On the Beach, I Bring von Mises’ – WSJ.com. Wow. I am interested. —– By STEPHEN MOORE “If I’m in, I’ll be all in,” says Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota, artfully dodging my question of whether she’s running for president. Given that she just hired campaign strategist Ed Rollins, whose past clients include Ross Perot and Mike Huckabee, rumors abound. “We’re getting close,” she says, “and if I do run, like all my...
