Death before Dhimmitude
Energy Independence
Above this race of men stands an immense and tutelary power, which takes upon itself alone to secure their gratifications and to watch over their fate. That power is absolute, minute, regular, provident, and mild. It would be like the authority of a parent if, like that authority, its object was to prepare men for manhood; but it seeks, on the contrary, to keep them in perpetual childhood: it is well content that the people should rejoice, provided they think of nothing but rejoicing. For their happiness such a government willingly labors, but it chooses to be the sole agent and the only arbiter of that happiness; it provides for their security, foresees and supplies their necessities, facilitates their pleasures, manages their principal concerns, directs their industry, regulates the descent of property, and subdivides their inheritances: what remains, but to spare them all the care of thinking and all the trouble of living?--Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy in America

What we're reading:
Feith, a favorite target of the loony blogging left, was there at the inception of the War on Islamofacism and provides firsthand recollections and documentation of the discussions and deliberations post-911 that put the lie to the prevailing narrative. Invaluable for anyone who wants to understand the current crisis.
One of the advantages of being over-40 is having been around to witness the wild, all-too short life of the World Hockey Association. The picture of Bill Goldthorpe -- the real-life Ogie Oglethorpe -- alone makes this book worth the price!
