Extracts from the Slate Daily Podcast and Open Source Sex. Time Magazine really has flipped out: I rather like Robert Spencer's take on their nonsense award over at JihadWatch. Judith Kesher at Keshertalk gives us the 2006 take on how to deal with the Ku Klux Klan. The Ynet story about the Israeli Supreme Court can be found here. Meryl Yourish will be back in the new year. Damian Penny is talking about Dictators. Laurence Simon is talking the denial of Muhammad conference in Tel Aviv. This week's closing quote is once again by Winston Churchill. This time it is from a document found in the library of FDR. You can find it here. At this moment when the New Year opens in storm, I feel it my duty on behalf of the British Government and indeed the whole British Empire to tell you, Mr. President, how lively is our sense of gratitude and admiration for the memorable declaration which you made to the American people and to the lovers of Freedom in all continents on Sunday last. We cannot tell what lies before us, but with this trumpet-call we march forward heartened and fortified and with the confidence which you have expressed that in the end all will be well for the English speaking peoples and those who share their ideals.
