Bookworm Room

I’m late to the party on this one, but I still wanted you all to read, if you haven’t already, Don Surber’s post about Ezra Klein, a Progressive who shocked the world (at least the Leftist world), by honestly stating that he believes the Constitution simply isn’t a relevant document. It’s so old, you see.  [...]

A matched set: First, read the New York Times interview with Col. Allen West.  I’m sure that New York Times readers are appropriately horrified by this militaristic, un-PC war machine kind of guy.  The rest of us, of course, are very, very impressed. Then, watch this: The more I hear about and from this man, [...]

There was obvious disagreement among commentators with regard to whether or not drug should be legalized and under what conditions. My son, having recently returned from out-of-state, recently came across an old high school friend who ran off a list [...]

Taking a short break from brief-writing and thought of a question you might be interested in.  From the day we were married, my wife and I have always viewed everything we have as “ours.”  I was thinking about this the other days, as I thought about “our” trying to raise enough money to fund “our” [...]

Sports fans like me have always watched events in which people got hurt.  In some cases, hurting the opponent is the point (boxing, MMA).  But the events were played by people dedicated to their sports who were striving to be the best they could possibly be at their level, be it high school, college, pros, [...]

I’m spending the holiday weekend working on a legal brief that has to go out on Monday.  I don’t have enough energy to do anything serious, so let’s have some fun.  If you were going to create a TV program (Oprah is looking for some shows for her new network, you know) what would it be?  [...]
