Happy Martin Luther King Day to all. Many news pieces commemorating the holiday have floated across the Web today, and Carolyn Garris of The Heritage Foundation has written one of the best of the bunch. Let's all remember Dr. King's Conservative Legacy.
An interesting battle between liberals and conservatives has been brewing at Amazon.com over Kate O'Beirne's book Women Who Make The World Worse and How Their Radical Feminist Assault Is Ruining Our Schools, Families, Military, and Sports. In only a few days, the book has garnered hundreds of emotionally charged reader reviews, virtually all of which either highly praise or completely trash it. I haven't read the book, but numerous leftwingers clearly seem to hate it with a passion, which leads me to assume Ms. O'Beirne really must have struck a tough chord into their core beliefs. Scroll through the reviews to see everything for yourself.
Older, but unfortunately not wiser: Walter Cronkite calls for U.S. defeat in Iraq. Either Mr. Cronkite wishes to relive his 1968 moment of glory, when he announced America had lost the Vietnam War's Tet Offensive (a battle U.S. forces had actually handily won), or he simply just doesn't get it. Either way, good thing the mainstream media no longer has a stranglehold on wartime reporting.
Victor Davis Hanson explains why Iran must be confronted before it's too late.
Also, TheSolidSurfer.com wishes a hearty thanks to:
RealClearPolitics.com for reprinting my post Europe, Islam, and Demographics via pen name on their fine website.
And The Million Dollar Homepage, for hosting the first Solid Surfer advertisement. For anyone unfamiliar, The Million Dollar Homepage consists of one million on-screen graphical pixels split into 10,000 small blocks of 100 pixels each. The site's owner, British student Alex Tew, sold each block to advertisers (including yours truly) for $100 each (i.e. $1 per pixel), eventually filling the site and, yes, raising a full million dollars. The site has now closed to new advertisers, and Tew, who originally launched the venture to help finance his university education, has become a minor celebrity, appearing in The Wall Street Journal, the BBC, Yahoo! News, and many other prominent publications. TheSolidSurfer.com's purchased pixel block (which links here to this site) is located just above a green sign marked "GET FREE PIXELS" on the upper-middle right side of the page. We have a black-colored block with a white-colored letter "S" on it.
