It is a regrettably neglected area of study in mainstream journalism, presumably because most of the UK press is still stuck on linear, old-fashioned ideas of Left and Right, and blind to anything more intriguing and unexpected. It often seems that the romantic-ruralist fringes of the left and right hate and oppose each other [...]

In one of his last books, America’s British Culture, Kirk defended the transplanted culture of Britain as “one of humankind’s more successful achievements.” The principle features of our culture, Kirk insisted, are British in origin.

Enjoy this hysterical neocon rant. Zak is obviously trying to be another David Frum.
How much difference is there, really, between the far-Left, the far-Right, and overt white supremacists? How do the public stances of Michael Moore, Pat Buchanan, and David Duke compare? Proponents of both extreme views now think and sound so much alike, [...]

Talk about pseudo-science!
The more discrimination African-American women report, the more likely they are to have coronary artery calcification, a buildup of calcium in the vessels that is associated with atherosclerosis, according to a study presented at the American Heart Association’s 45th Annual Conference on Cardiovascular Disease Epidemiology and Prevention.
