I looked through Jonah Goldberg’s latest, trying to find a single paragraph to quote here.  The column is so perfect, though, it was likely ripping an arm off Michaelangelo’s David — it would just ruin the purity of the whole thing.  So, instead, all I can urge you to do

I noted in my post yesterday that James Crowley has behaved impeccably from start to finish when it came to this whole sordid affair.  Yes, he may have let an obstreperous Gates press his buttons on that night in Cambridge, but since then he has epitomized grace under fire.  As

You may feel that the White House is fairly hostile to your interests as an American, but there’s no doubt but that select groups of people are feeling pretty darn good about what Obama has to offer.  Here’s a case in point.

For about ten minutes, there was a post here with a bullet point list of provisions from the health care bill.  I just got an email, though, saying that the list may contain significant inaccuracies.  I’ve therefore pulled that post pending further information.  In the meantime, here’s a solid link

I was talking with Don Quixote about the AARP’s seemingly bizarre support for ObamaCare (“seemingly bizarre” only if you don’t know who is now behind the AARP), and I finally figured out what health care for the elderly will look like.  If your statistical life expectancy is too low, bye-bye

Here’s the story: “It’s almost immoral what they are doing,” Pelosi said to reporters, referring to insurance companies. “Of course they’ve been immoral all along in how they have treated the people that they insure,” she said, adding, “They are the villains. They have been part of the problem in

Victor Davis Hanson, after describing the disconnect between America’s most heated critics and their own lifestyles, sums up the reason at least a few Americans are tuning out the grievance mongers: In the old days, critics for the most part of what we called the “system” were at least blue-collar

More than three years ago now (and where in Heaven does the time go?!), I wrote an article for the American Thinker regarding the essential moral conservatism in the Harry Potter books.  I was (and am) inspired to believe that children raised on those books are better situated than they

Funny how things work out.  When health care was on the front burner, it was so manifestly awful, people were outraged and the Dems made noises about holding off.  Once they made those noises, people (that means citizens — ordinary voters) took the pressure off.  I just got word that
