Every Wednesday, Friend-In-The-Steyn-Ether Laura Rosen Cohen posts links to (1) some news that may not have been covered on a wide-scale and (2) analysis that is spot-on. Covering America, The Anglosphere, and Israel, she also offers — often witty, but serious — observations.
Some highlights from this week’s installment [links to be found at her post]:
OMG Paul Ryan, how can we miss you if you just won’t leave? You are useless. Worse than useless. This is pathetic. Hey Speaker Ryan, there’s a call for you in the lobby on the 1990s Poseur Conservatives Start a Think Tank or News Aggregating Web Site Courtesy Phone. As well, why is there a clip of the light towers representing the Twin Towers in the video clip? When I see that, I think “losers”, and “victims of terror” not “great ideas” or innovation. OK I’ll stop now. Actually I won’t because hello??? The logo-the Statue of Liberty’s crown? As my buddy Kathy Shaidle always says: crappy poetry does not make a good immigration policy”.
Ever since he was a [Failed] candidate for the Vice Presidency under Monsieur Willard Mitt Romney, we’ve seen again and again that Paul Ryan was either (1) always Phony pretending to be a Libertarian Conservative or (2) a man who Sold his Soul.
I don’t know which one to believe, but I agree with Laura’s hope that Ryan will just leave.
But I doubt it: even if this project ultimately fails, it will get him some serious cash from Idiot Millionaires who think they’re help the Conservative Cause and it will get him ‘respect’ from some of the Leftist Media and Fox.
You have sat too long here for any good you have been doing. Depart, I say, and let us have done with you. In the name of God, go!

More from Laura:
Catholic priest actually acts Catholic, denies Joe Biden communion. Good.
It’s rather simple this issue: Joe ‘Hill’ Biden is not merely disagreeing with a Church position, he’s in conflict with Canon Law. Therefore, he is a Heretic and cannot receive The Sacrament Of Communion. End of story.
In another section, entitled The Formerly Great Britain, she shows how Anti-Semitism is becoming more tolerated in the UK.
This is very troubling that The Anglosphere is starting to give any respect to Jew Hatred — it’s, as we’ve seen, growing in America.
