The Camp of the Saints Comes to Europe
(John Hinderaker) The Daily Mail has a long report from Germany on the influx of migrants there. Who, exactly, are the migrants? The article begins: On the busy shopping street in Giessen, a German university town twinned with Winchester, migrant Atif Zahoor tucks into a chicken dish with his brother and cousin at the curry restaurant Chillie To Go. They have left good jobs back in Karachi, Pakistan, and now want to

Augmented Reality Has An Image Problem
To date, Augmented Reality has been referred to as "the biggest technological advancement of our lifetime," a mere "gimmick" or, worst yet, the next iteration of the QR code. The divisive term was introduced more than 25 years ago, but if there's one thing AR proponents and its naysayers can agree on, it's the simple fact that AR, as we know it today, has… Read More

What Next for the House? (Take 2)
(Steven Hayward) John has offered his opinion that the House GOP should have little to fear if they force Obama to veto a continuing resolution that omits funding for Planned Parenthood, thereby causing a government shutdown. This may be correct, though I have my doubts it would work out well for Republicans. We've had this argument before on Power Line, so readers needn't send in comments that the 2013 shutdown didn't seem

And now we're headed toward another needless and self-destructive government shutdown. That's why I need your help. We need grassroots supporters to show the Republicans they can't play

The Boy Who Cried Woolf
When he was a young man, James Wood stumbled across the book that would change his life. It was, he wrote:
not a novel or a book of poems; was not the Bible or Shakespeare's Collected Works, or The Hobbit or Dune, or any of the high or low stories that are canonically invoked when readers and writers look back in fondness. It was a book called Novels and Novelists: A Guide to the World of Fiction, edited by the brilliantly wayward poet and man of letters Martin Seymour-Smith. I found it in 1981, when I was fifteen, at Waterloo Station, on table piled with discounted books.
