Reductio ad Hitlerum. When I read this post on Tim Blair's site I started laughing because I thought it was one of Tim's always-hilarious jokes. It isn't. Check out this sentence, which comes from CNN's report on Arnold's victory.
Schwarzenegger, who, like Hitler, is a native... [Right-Thinking from the Left Coast]

No wonder watching CNN tonight I felt as if I were watching a wake. They are threatened by what is going on—as they should be.

Come and Get Us! [Wall Street Journal]
Who says the world is against us? Slate's Christopher Hitchens interviews Hossein Khomeini, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini's 45-year-old grandson, a Shiite cleric now living in Iraq because he finds the mad mullahs' Iranian theocracy too oppressive:
The best outcome, he thought, would be a very swift and immediate American invasion of Iran.
It hurt me somewhat to have to tell him that there was scant chance of deliverance coming by this means. He took the news pretty stoically (and I hardly think I was telling him anything he did not know). But I was thinking, wow, this is what happens if you live long enough. You'll hear the ayatollah's grandson saying, not even "Send in the Marines" but "Bring in the 82nd Airborne." I think it was the matter-of-factness of the reply that impressed me the most: He spoke as if talking of the obvious and the uncontroversial.
Not only in Iraq but in Iran as well, Hitchens opines, "the United States has also managed to get on the right side of history, as we used to say."

Smartest states
These are the findings of the Education State Rankings, a survey by
Morgan Quitno Press of the public school systems in all 50 states.
States were graded on a variety of factors based on how they compare to
the national average. These included such positive attributes as
per-pupil expenditures, public high school graduation rates, average
class size, student reading and math proficiency, and pupil-teacher
ratios. States received negative points for high drop-out rates and
physical violence.

Amazing.. What's this? The NYT actually admitting to screwing the pooch? A friend sends me this story. The New York Times issued a de facto retraction on Saturday after misreporting two days earlier that Arnold Schwarzenegger once said he admired Adolf Hitler for what he did with his power. In early ... [Capitalist Lion]
