Elf and Faerie : The development of Elves in Tolkien's Mythology [by P A van Heusden] Many readers of Tolkien's works are familiar with the faeries of literature and folklore, and the differences and similarities between these and Tolkien's Elves. I believe in Tolkien's Elves we are seeing a reinterpretation of these beings, and by studying them we can glean insights into Tolkien's mythogenic intentions in 'Lord of the Rings'. [more]
Palin Bags a Bigfoot [Weekly World News] WASILLA, AK - Records and eyewitnesses have come to light that prior to announcing her candidacy for the Vice Presidency; Sarah Palin shot a Bigfoot from a helicopter. A government helicopter was seen flying low over the Chugach National Park with what witnesses described as “a sexy librarian shooting out the side.” Employees at a local bait shop report seeing a similar woman only hours before carrying an infant in a camouflage Baby Bjorn.

An Eleven Year old Girl and her Weapon [in John C. Wright] Surely it is written: it is more difficult for Achmed to put a damsel in a burka when she is armed with an AR 15. Semper Fi! [more]
Palin V.P. Nomination Puts Pentecostalism in the Spotlight [in Pew Forum] From the time she was a teenager until 2002, Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin attended a church affiliated with the Assemblies of God, the largest Pentecostal Christian denomination in the U.S. Pentecostalism emphasizes such practices as speaking in tongues, prophesying, divine healing and other miraculous signs of the Holy Spirit, which it believes are as valid today as they were in the early Christian church.[more]

The Other 9/11 Story - What has and hasn't happened in the seven years since September 11, 2001 [by Victor Davis Hanson] Seven years ago we suffered the worst attack on the American homeland in our history.

A Vote for Sarah Palin [by Suann Therese Maier] Three memories have shaped my approach to this year’s general election. Here’s the first. In the late 1970s, during a two-year break from teaching to raise our second son, an adopted child, I found myself at a Los Angeles dinner party filled with DINKs, the “double income, no kids” crowd who were just emerging as a self-aware and upwardly mobile social group. I fell to talking—or more accurately, listening—to a chatty young female attorney who said she was putting in eighty hours a week as a junior associate on a variety of important cases. [more]
The Culture War [by Erin Manning] Remember the culture war? That endless divide between Americans over such hot-button issues as abortion, gay marriage, gun control, and the like?
