Checking in with Twitter, I just learned that actor, Neocon and journalist Ron Silver is dead. That’s a great loss. My deepest sympathy to his family and friends.

Sorry I didn’t blog today, but I had absolutely nothing to say.  Part of it is that I have a cold (my first this winter, so I’m not complaining), which means that my brains have temporarily been transformed into cotton wool.  And I think part of it is, as you

Richard Baehr is one of the most astute political commentators around.  So when he turns his gimlet eye on Obama’s performance, every word he writes is worth reading.

An Israeli man just didn’t get lucky.  First, he lost his foot when he stepped on a land mine.  Then, when he was within feet of being hauled into the rescue helicopter, he fell to the ground, and subsequently died. I have to admit to being a little less sorry

We all know that the Obama administration, through statements by Rahm, Hillary and the Obamunist, views America’s economic woes as an opportunity to advance its agenda.  Never waste a good crisis, they say, and what better thing to do than to create the crisis that they then intended not to

Sean Hannity was righteously hammering away at the fact that the Dems’ (and Obama’s) tax plan, by dramatically raising taxes on society’s producers, de-incentivizes work.  Democratic callers professed themselves bewildered: “The people who work will still have more money after taxes than if they hadn’t worked.” Hannity agreed, but couldn’t

I spent more hours than I can count playing Barbie when I was a child.  For me, therefore, Barbie is a nostalgic figure of childhood fun.  For Jeff D. Eldridge, Democrat, she is a figure of consuming evil who must be destroyed.  It’s good to know the Democrats are in

We finally received from Netflix HBO’s six-part production on the life of John Adams.  It’s very good, although it tends to take itself a little bit too seriously, which reveals itself in the . . . very . . . slow . . . scenes . . . as .

If a normal person messes up, he says, “I’m so upset.  I messed up.”  If a narcissist messes up, he says “I’m so angry.  You made me mess up.”   I leave it to you to figure out in which category Barack Obama falls (but there’s a hint in this Jennifer

Much is being made of the fact that Obama, who promised to cut earmarks, is poised to sign a bill that has something like 9,000 earmarks.  Of course, that’s chicken feed compared to the bill’s real purpose, which is to expand government at an exponential rate unknown in American history.
