Lying With Statistics. Donald Luskin does his usual excellent job of taking apart the liberal lies, embodied in their misuse of statistics. Longtime Readers will know that this is a particular gripe of mine, and is perfectly illustrated by this part of Luskin's piece:

Warm Up. [Cox & Forkum]
The Nov. 11 New Yorker editorial -- Getting Warmer -- is a typical example of global warming advocacy. It starts out sounding very certain about global warming with sentences like this:
[T]he evidence that human activity is changing the planet’s climate has continued to mount, as has evidence of the consequences.
But later, when discussing criticism of the theory, you get less certain sentences like this:
Though it's impossible to determine exactly how much of the current warming trend is the result of atmospheric changes wrought by man and how much is caused by natural climate variation, the vast majority of credible studies in fact point to the former as the more significant factor.

Those wacky libs. So much hate!
KILL AS MANY AMERICANS AS YOU CAN.
Unfortunately, we can't help these innocent U.S. soldiers. They are victims, like ourselves, of the bandits in Washington. Nor can we disabuse them of the propaganda that an occupier isn't always an oppressor. We regret their deaths, but we must continue to kill them until the last one has gone home to America.

du Toit was right. A gun store clerk told me recently that many young men come into his shop offering to sell their entire gun collections. They dump the weapons on the counter and announce, "I’m getting married and my fiancée says it’s either me or the guns." [Curmudgeonly & Skeptical]

Tip This. [Curmudgeonly & Skeptical]
"What if there were a moment at which the American public became so appalled by the casualties and costs of the Iraqi occupation that President Bush felt compelled to bring the hammer down … a moment when C-Span was filled with hard-right demonstrators demanding that Bush subdue the terrorists by any means necessary, a moment when a revered Republican senator quoted Pulp Fiction director Quentin Tarantino, urging the president "to get medieval on their asses," a moment when conservative pundits clamored for Bush to, say, level Tikrit to pacify Fallujah, or level them both to pacify Baghdad?"
