Lawrence Kaplan hits it on the head when he writes about the number one obstacle blocking officials from going after Saddam. “Toppling Saddam, particularly with the aid of the Iraqi opposition, would topple a few legacies in Washington.” How would President Bush explain his attack on Iraq as not being an operation his […]
The next terrorist attack on America will not be with hijacked planes because passengers and crews will fight back. Peggy Noonan quotes a flight attendent: “And let me tell you, if anyone starts any trouble on my flight he is going down, I mean I will break his legs!” Terrorists have a […]
While not a Beatles fan, I appreciate the tremendous impact they had on popular music. And “Something” is just a gorgeous song. George, R.I.P.
Now, I know why many people flock to bands full of old geezers who shouldn’t be strutting around like rock stars anymore (see Mick Jagger). Crosby, Stills, Nash, and […]
President Bush’s Social Security Commission backs private accounts. It appears they will offer three alternative solutions.

Andrea Millen Rich reports that Hernando De Soto was on the short-list for the Nobel Prize in Economics. I would be shocked if he ever won. While his ideas in The Mystery of Capital are profound and would deserve such an honor (he also wrote The Other Path) I don’t know if he’s […]
Happy B-Day B-52.

If you oppose liberal/socialist orthodoxy like Bjørn Lomborg does in his The Skeptical Environmentalist, then you’re viciously attacked. Anti-Lomborg.com, while claiming not to “personally attack Lomborg” proudly displays a picture of him wiping a pie off his face from an attack in a bookstore. Such actions come close to the terrorist attacks by […]
Now, I might enjoy the intellectual stimulation of a school like Patrick Henry University for a few weeks, but the current cultural homogeneity would get stifling. However, it’s good to know that there are higher education options available other than the typical Left-liberal university.

Rich Lowry wants the U.S. to develop a special nuke to destroy underground bunkers. Think of it as the uber bunker buster, or the “Mother of all Bunker Busters” in Saddam-speak. Lowry writes,
But even if it were never used, developing such a weapon would send an unmistakable message about America’s seriousness and resolve, […]
Rush saw Bush was a little weak on some of his recent security decisions and comes to his rescue in the Washington Post. Let’s see if G. W.’s Democratic opponents will criticize FDR for going far beyond any of Bush’s actions.
One other note: is this a sign of Rush’s future? It’s obvious from […]
If the allegations are true, I hope Paul “Pee-Wee” Reubens never works in showbiz again. Getting caught in a sexually compromising position once can be explained as mere foolishness, but getting caught a second time (especailly with child pornography) speaks of an anti-social sexual fetish.

To prove the fact that anyone can get a record deal, Harvard Professor, Cornell West has just released Sketches of My Culture. Here’s some lines from one of his songs:
Time gets interwoven to refrig and / or oven with variance coming after centuries of scientific observation. Heliocentric puts specific comprehension to circular flow with […]
All guns are blazing in the video game wars. Microsoft will have to sell lots of games for its Xbox in order to recoup the losses from the console. William “Trip” Hawkins, CEO of 3DO, even envisions MS dropping out of the video game market around 2003.
An interesting item in the article is […]
Paul Johnson does a good job in trying to explain why the West has developed economically and politically while the Islamic World seems trapped in the 13th Century. The rule of law in the West is vital in explaining economic achievment and political liberty. Institutions do matter.
