When, in The Federalist, Alexander Hamilton writes that “energy in the executive is a leading character in the definition of good government,” he refrains from asserting that energy in the executive is the leading character in the definition of good
I spent much time during the past few weeks helping my son study for the state-wide World History test he took a few days ago. Working with him through his studies, I learned his class presented a brand new version
When it comes to the way the MSM covers the news, sometimes it’s the little things that are the most annoying. The AP covered Interior Secretary Ken Salazar’s decision to re-impose a six month deep water drilling moratorium in predictable

In politics, temperament matters – it matters a great deal, as Barack Obama has unwittingly shown us time and again. Some women and men love to posture, talk, debate, and negotiate. Temperamentally, they are suited for a legislative role. It
I was sitting in Church-Lady Helen’s living room. Someone commented on the illegal immigration problem. I said, “For some strange reason our government doesn’t know that illegal immigration is illegal.” Pious Helen stuck her nose in the air and proudly
****UPDATE: Link to trailer has been fixed. Most (good) history books correctly portray the collapse of communism as due to the efforts of Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher, and Pope John Paul II. But there were other subversive elements at work,

We all know of the great slights that Hollywood deals out to the American right. We see them all the time. From the TV shows that casts Republicans as villains, the movies that make Christians out to be hypocrites or
You can’t accuse E.J. Dionne of not trying. In this Washington Post article he does quite a Cirque du Soleil contortionist routine in his effort to convince us that “big” government is to be trusted and that the Tea Party
One thing our founding fathers could not foresee… was a nation governed by professional politicians who have a vested interest in getting reelected. They probably envisioned a fellow serving a couple of hitches and then looking forward to getting back

The Atlantic Online has a video up today of an unearthed TV episode featuring Ronald Reagan and James Dean acting together, unseen for decades. Edited from “The Dark, Dark Hours” episode of General Electric Theater, which aired live from Hollywood
On Saturday morning, I was stopped short by a text message- a plane crash had killed Polish President Lech Kaczynski and 96 others. Immediately, I called and asked the location… Russia. With tragic irony, the Polish Presidential delegation was wiped out
Well, this certainly ought to drive the MSM crazy. From the National Journal: Of the many unflattering caricatures of Sarah Palin that litter the political landscape, the notion that she is a dummy or a puppet — a mere figure
Almost fifty years ago, in the film journal Sight and Sound for Winter 1964/65, critic Roger Hudson wrote that the talent of motion picture production designers “is often overlooked, except where it is the greatest element in a film’s success,
