President Obama surely didn’t intend it, but he deserves some credit for last year’s 7.4 percent drop in murder rates. His election caused gun sales to soar, and crime rates to plummet. While gun sales started notably rising in October
When times get tough, the unsettled among us turn to fictionalized superheroes to vicariously battle the world’s uncertainties. They can even provide an example for turning the lemons in our personal lives into lemonade just as Bruce Wayne (Batman) and
Gun owners might not feel besieged right now, but they should be very concerned. Last week the Obama administration announced its support for the UN Small Arms Treaty. This treaty poses real risks for freedom and safety in the United
They say a conservative is a liberal who’s just been mugged, but for years Richard Cohen of the Washington Post has adamantly refused to accept the evidence of his own senses, and steadfastly hewed to the usual leftist blatherskite, even
George Stephanopoulos’s “interview” with James O’Keefe and Andrew Breitbart on this morning’s Good Morning America summed up everything that is wrong with institutional American journalism. No doubt it is even now speeding its way over to the Newseum for permanent
Jersey City pimp Allen E. Brown was recently sentenced to 18 years in federal prison for trafficking underaged prostitutes. Perhaps he would have gotten off had he simply claimed in court that he wasn’t dressed as a pimp when operating
Judging by this editorial, the Washington Post chewed on the White House memo written by White House Counsel Robert F. Bauer entitled “Review of Discussions Relating to Congressman Sestak,” and then swallowed it whole. The title of the WaPo editorial
Remember this book? A white man darkened his skin and went undercover to report first-hand on the plight of the black community. The project was initially funded by Sepia Magazine. What about this one? A card-carrying member of the Washington
First it was Bristol Palin’s pregnancy. Then it was Sarah Palin’s very existence. And now, courtesy of the once-interesting but now completely unhinged blogger/amateur gynecologist Andrew Sullivan, it’s the Palin Family Fence. You heard that right. [youtube G4p4N9CTUu8 nolink] Poor

As if we needed one, here’s another item showing bias in the way the mainstream media covers the controversial Arizona illegal immigration law. Many major news organizations, including, MSNBC, CNN, and USA Today for example, covered a story about a
After pleading guilty to what is apparently the misdemeanor of “Entry by false pretenses to any real property, vessel, or aircraft of the United States” (18 U.S.C. 1036), James O’Keefe has joined a long list of political activists convicted of
Things were going so well for David Shuster at the start of the year. On January 26, James O’Keefe, chief ACORN-buster, and several of his friends had just been arrested for “breaking into” the office of Senator Mary Landrieu. The
The cover-up continues. This past Sunday, Congressman Joe Sestak appeared on Meet the Press and continued to tap dance around the charge he made that he was offered a government job to drop out of the campaign. Here’s the exchange
Democrat senatorial candidate and sitting Congressman Joe Sestak (D, Pa.) has repeatedly confirmed that he was offered a government position by the Obama Administration in exchange for withdrawing from his eventually successful race against incumbent Senator Arlen Specter for his
One: How do the haters not understand that forgiveness and letting go, particularly after decades of natural healing and the universe having moved on, is an essential tenet of a humane and compassionate philosophy/attitude? Especially when the victim herself has
When British actress Charlotte Lewis first came forward to accuse fugitive director Roman Polanski of abusing her in 1983 at a press conference last week, one of the more intriguing statements was made by her attorney Gloria Allred: “[Ms. Lewis]
The Chicago media covers Illinois political corruption like crime reporters. They show up at the scene, gather for the perp walk, snap a photo, and cover the trial. In short, they wait for the story to happen and then accept
Fox’s FX channel has a history of pushing the boundaries of “free cable” programming, with shows such as Nip/Tuck, The Shield, Rescue Me, Dirt, Damages, Sons of Anarchy, The League, and It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. But although “edgy” material
Why does talent get a pass? And to what extent does the “morality paradox” color our view of great artists? Roman Polanski’s best films, like all great films, are very moral–in particular Chinatown and The Pianist. They deal with socially
***UPDATE: According to Texas Governor Perry’s office: “At this time, no funds have been released to Troublemaker Studios.” I’m assuming this statement is in reference to “Machete.” But Rodriguez wasn’t going to to shoot “Machete” in Texas without the promise
It’s pretty clear from the loud and explodey and awesome trailer of the upcoming A-Team remake that the script version the Sucker Punch Squad’s source obtained was a draft or two back from the final shooting script. That’s a good
The Treme (pronounced treh-MAY) is one of New Orleans oldest and traditionally black neighborhoods. It is also the home of some of its musical legends. The area was one of those hit hard by Hurricane Katrina. HBO’s new series explores
