The question is meant only half-facetiously, of course. Under the current rules of engagement between the media and politicians, it is never right to punch a reporter. Treat him or her with contempt, dripping condescension, sarcasm, obfuscation, hostility, Heep-ish like
—– Couple of songs mixed with celeb apostasy is always a pleasant way to start out a new week. A Hillary supporter, before, after, and between songs, Sophie lashes out at Hollywood’s lack of response to the Gulf, President Obama’s
[Ed. Note: “Unthinkable” went straight-to-DVD and hits stores tomorrow. Here’s a sneak peek so you know better what you’re spending your hard-earned money on.] I’ve only been in “Hollywood” the past few years. My experience is limited to a couple
Wilder Publications, a small publishing company based in Redford Va., is offering on Amazon.com a rather unusual compendium of The Constitution, The Declaration of Independence, and the Articles of Confederation. The Wilder edition of our country’s founding documents comes complete

In his June 8, 2010, 7,000-plus word Rolling Stone article entitled “The Spill, The Scandal, and the President,” Tim Dickinson fixed blame for the oil leak in the Gulf, but ignored how the effort to fix the mess it’s causing
The 17th Amendment is stupid: The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senators from each State, elected by the people thereof, for six years…. But let me start at the beginning. Article I 3 cl. 1

Well here we are in the middle of the worst economy in almost a century, wars on two fronts, and a monster oil spill turning our southern coast into asphalt. And what is Congress busy on? Solving gender discrimination in
If you want to laugh yourself silly tonight, you could do worse than to click on this link to the Houston Chronicle. As an illustration of the old adage that a picture is worth a thousand works, the photos you’re
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) recently hit a major stumbling block in its effort to impose net neutrality via the “reclassification” of broadband services. Following months of civil rights groups, artists, and a major union voicing their opposition to net
This is a little off-topic, but whenever I read something conjured by some A-lister over at the HuffPo, I’m always struck by how dull and humorless the writing is. These are big shots, performers, stahs, and most of them write
A Washington Post/ABC News poll shows a major shift in sentiment toward (against?) the tea party movement. As an original tea party organizer, this shift doesn’t surprise me. By “this shift,” I refer to the the tea party’s popularity waning

Before I proceed, I present to you my biases: I like Kevin Costner. Always have, from “Silverado” straight through to “Dances With Wolves” (one of my favorite films), right down to “Swing Vote.” Is he a great actor? He can
I guess Mexico ‘s President Calderon forgot to mention what happens to illegal immigrants on his southern border when he came to Congress to scold us for “discriminatory” treatment in Arizona. They are summarily raped or killed and commonly stripped
