I don’t like Hillary because I don’t like Hillary’s bone deep, far left conviction that government is the answer. However, I have to give Hillary credit for something. Despite all her desperate squirming around to placate the anti-War crowd, she has continued to support a military presence in Iraq: As
Continue readingSan Francisco has been in the press a lot lately (and inspired some pretty funny Jay Leno riffs) because of Gavin Newsom’s sexual misconduct with his ex-campaign manager’s wife. It’s sordid, it’s sexy, and, at bottom, it’s not troubling. That is, as with all good sex scandals, we can purse
