Bloomberg vs. New York
August 11, 2010New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg has forcefully supported the building of an Islamic mega-mosque within spitting distance of Ground Zero, where nearly 3000 Americans were incinerated by Islamic jihadists on September 11, 2001. The mayor is not a passionate man, but for some inexplicable reason, he’s become passionate about this insult to 9/11 victims and [...]

When the Country Was Sick
August 11, 2010Did you know that in 1933, when the country was sick and nobody knew what to do about it, people got in their cars, drove to Washington, presented themselves at the White House, and said “What can I do to help?” Lawyers did it.

Jobless Nation
August 10, 2010Earlier this season, Team Obama launched a PR offensive designed to convince Americans that a real economic recovery was underway. They called it “Recovery Summer!” Note the exclamation point. They wanted you to really, really get that they believed we were in “recovery.” It wasn’t just a “recovery.” It was “Recovery Summer!” We should have [...]

CORDOBA EVICTED BOTH MAIMONEDES AND IBN RUSHD (AVERROES)
August 8, 2010Writing for the Economist, columnist Lexington wades into the lower Manhattan Mosque controversy by quoting approvingly Imam Feisal’s claim that calling his center Cordoba “in recollection of a time when the rest of Europe had sunk into the Dark Ages but Muslims, Jews and Christians created an oasis of art, culture and science” demonstrates the [...]

Magical Wanda
August 7, 2010My best friend in high school and college was Mike Burke. Like many of us in the 60′s, he was a rebel. He had long, blonde hair, loved the Beatles and charmingly caused trouble wherever he went. He was the leader of our pack. They say there is nothing more dangerous than a 17 year-old [...]

If only big brother Rob had given brotherly advice
August 6, 2010My brother and I were catching up over the all-you-can-eat sushi dinner at Sushi Sai on Randolph — very good, very reasonable — and I explained to him my dilemma: I have been reading about the collapse of tuna fisheries all around the world, I said, shoveling big rectangles of very fresh fish [...]

THE OBAMA BOURBONS
August 5, 2010No first lady could not have gotten away with such ostentatious vulgar spending this long especially during a major depression.

An Ugly End Zone Dance
August 5, 2010The National Football League has a rule that calls for a penalty when a player scoring a touchdown celebrates excessively. It’s normal for a player to spike the ball in the end zone, but if he taunts his opponents or dances around crazily in a burst of uncontrolled exuberance, he draws a referee’s flag. It’s [...]

But if you’re still looking for just one reason to vote Republican, here it is, in one word: judges. Right now in America, [...]
