One
thing we’ve learned about Britain – the British love celebrating anniversaries.
(For whatever reason or reasons, the U.S. tends to be anti-historical.) Or
perhaps they’re just better at marketing. This year is not only the 200th
anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo, but also the 600th
anniversary of the Battle of Agincourt.
The Spectator published an article on Agincourt – noting that Shakespeare got
it mostly right in Henry V.
Good
photography and art this week, some good poetry. And a warning from The Jerusalem Post about what may happen
as political correctness paralyzes Western governments.
And
the ninth Planned Parenthood video was released by the Center for Medical
Progress. Planned Parenthood says it doesn’t accept fees or payments for fetal
parts procured from abortions. So what do you call “$60 per tissue specimen,”
or does it depend upon your definition of the word “payment?”
