Richard Brookhiser has come out with another book on a Founding Father. This time it’s John Adams. John, along with his descendents John Quincy, Charles Francis, and Henry make up what Brookhiser calls “America’s First Dynasty.” Jeff Shesol’s review notes that unlike his previous subjects (George Washington and Alexander Hamilton), Brookhiser is […]

I don’t believe Rev. David Benke crossed the ecumenical line when he delivered a prayer at a 9.11 memorial service in Yankee Stadium last fall. What the disagreement within the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod (I’m a member) says is that the denomination does care about absolute truth.

The U.S. women couldn’t get past Canada for the bronze medal in curling. Nevertheless, America’s fascination with the sport continues. If you have no idea what those people are doing sliding rocks on the ice while sweeping, the U.S. Curling Association’s web site can help you out.
The curling club near work is holding […]
To be fair (I’d also say I’m balanced, but I’m not), I noticed this bit of bias in a Washington Times story on Clinton administration favors to Enron. Patrice Hill writes:
As congressional committees dig for evidence to tie Enron and Mr. Lay to the Bush administration, evidence of Mr. Lay’s links to the Clinton […]
Rumsfeld shouldn’t be afraid to lie and deceive to achieve American war aims. War is ugly and messy. This war on terrorism is especially so because of the shadowy nature of the enemy. This war won’t be a set of simple acts of aggression. This will entail hiring nasty people to […]
A smile always comes to my face (followed by anger) when I see such blatant hypocracy from liberals. U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan’s security guards carry MP5 submachine guns. These weapons, used only by law enforcement, may have been illegally imported into the U.S. What’s hypocritical is Annan is the same man who […]
American military unilateralism is inevitable because European forces can’t keep up. Rosemary Righter writes,
To fight alongside the US in the future, its allies must be able to deploy globally, strike rapidly in response to live intelligence, hit hard against buried targets and be able in all weather to hit targets. Unless the Europeans, and […]
Besides linking to TAM, one thing that’s great about The Blue Button is it uses the term “pinko.” I tried to revive the term during my battles with socialist leaning College Democrats, but even some of my College Republican friends thought I was going overboard.
Another thing is it’s emphatic on the real cause of […]
The French ice dancing gold medals are tainted. The accusation is that French judge Marie-Reine Le Gougne traded her vote in pairs figure skating so the French team of Marina Anissina and Gwendal Peizerat could win in ice dancing. What happened? The French won. Did they win because they performed better […]
For supporting men who mean to destroy a system where human rights are respected, I consider William Goodman, director of the Center for Constitutional Rights, to be a fifth columnist. Intentionally or not, Goodman is helping the enemy. He may think he’s defending three men’s legal rights, but if he’s successful, he’s slitting […]
If you read the NY Times story on their web site on companies incorporating in Bermuda for tax reasons you would have missed blatant bias on the part of the “objective” grey lady. Beneath the headline “U.S. Corporations are Using Bermuda to Slash Tax Bills” is the smaller headline reading “Profits over Patriotism.” […]
Can someone please tell Mr. Derbyshire that his supposed “bloggings” aren’t. Sure, they’re short, random blurbs on things that strike his fancy, but where are the links? The point of blogging is to find interesting things on the Internet for your readers. It’s a way to sift through the mountains of new […]
The U.S. Men’s Hockey team is in great position for the medal round. A win over Belarus (the U.S. was leading through two periods) would give them the top seed.
Even after 4 years of watching college hockey at the University of Minnesota Duluth, I still feel like a novice hockey fan. So, it […]
Modulate is the first of three albums coming out from Bob Mould. These will be his first releases since his The Last Dog and Pony Show three years ago. Modulate is incorporating electronic sounds to his edgy power pop flavor. In between albums, Mould lived a childhood dream by working for World […]
