After a lifetime parroting Cuban caudillo Fidel Castro’s personal life and party line, the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela’s ill Presidente, Hugo Chavez is dead. But under the lingering ministrations of the left’s octogenarian chief surgeon, Castro, what is the health
It’s been a year since we lost Andrew Breitbart. In sorrow, we’ll reflect upon what was, what wasn’t, and what is: specifically, the fate of Andrew’s “Pop-Cultural Conservatism.” In a Republic where the consent of the governed and their delegation
Presidents’ Day honors the (to date) men who’ve served as our nation’s Chief Executive. In the case of some of former Presidents, the man and the moment met; and their legacy is secure in history and the hearts of their
Once more confronted by the mystery of evil, our hearts break as we pray for the Newtown, CT tragedy’s victims and their families. May we as a nation remain focused on the human and the moral, not the partisan and
In the classic noir novel The Big Sleep, the world-weary private eye Philip Marlowe muses on a man’s final resting place in a dirty sump: “You were dead, you were sleeping the big sleep, you were not bothered by things
We live amid enduring impermanence; a material world where, as Oscar Wilde noted, our desired “necessities” are demonstrably unnecessary. Indeed, in this Age of Globalization, rife and rent with pervasive, instantaneous communications and the unprecedented expansion of human knowledge (if
Since some media outlets have peremptorily declared President Obama re-elected, it’s only fair that we reconnoiter the two main political traps the predatory Left will set for President Romney. The Predatory Left’s Target President Romney is an authentic centrist-conservative –
“Those Were the Good Old Days” Penciled into the lineup for June 28th at 7 p.m. in Washington Nationals Stadium, thebipartisan Congressional Baseball Game’s history is oft ignored. We shan’t buck thetrend. Rather, let’s gawk at the aging glad-handers’ baseball
Salut! Be on guard when bustling about the bush on a global skunk hunt for international tyrants, terrorists, tinhorn dictators, and sundry misanthropes brutalizing humanity and hating America. These pungent oppressors will spray you with their odiferous agit-prop. Instinctively, the
In the parlance of their youth, it’s “mind blowing” how ex-hippies who couldn’t control themselves want to control everybody else, even in the area of physical fitness. Those afflicted with the logic see the inherent irony of the moderation-immune, self-medicating
Everybody’s talkin’ ’bout Bagism… Ok, not everybody, just me. Being four years old at the time, fate cheated me of my consciousness being raised by 1969’s brief burst of Bagism (though I later had my inseam measurement raised by the

When asked to write an article for the newly launched Breitbart.com, of course I agreed; but, in the wake of Andrew’s tragic passing, what to write? Two experiences proved instructive. The first experience occurred when another of Andrew despondent friends
Even as the Republican Presidential primary hits fever pitch in my home state of Michigan, the GOP establishment maneuvers for an orchestrated convention that “chooses” some “new face” as our standard bearer. I abjectly reject such despicable machinations. Having unsuccessfully

“I cannot recall at any time when the gap between the kind of words which statesmen used and what was actually happening in many countries was so great as it is now. The habit of saying smooth things and uttering
When asked by Big Government to review Greg Gutfeld’s The Bible of Unspeakable Truths, my response was instantaneous: “Why me, Lord?” Alas, we mere mortals can but abide His infinite wisdom – God’s not Gutfeld’s. Resigned, I shouldered the onus

Defending the Tea Party to its opponents is like explaining Bob Dylan to his critics: their ears don’t hear what your heart understands. For a year now, Tea Partiers have peaceably assembled and petitioned government for the redress of grievances;
This week, nominated by Tom Costella of Canton, MI, the “Educated Idiots Award” goes to… Fidel Castro (remember him)? The communist octogenarian/anachronism has come out of semi-comatose retirement to praise President Obama’s trillion dollar government takeover of Americans’ health care.
So this is what change looks like. If he were here, Mr. Speaker, in this time of momentous national distress, I would remind the President of the United States that he is not the leader of a party or an
This week, the vast majority of the American people have nominated a motley crew of elitists for the “Educated Idiots Award:” The arrogant Democrats who will defy the American people and abet Obama’s nearly trillion dollar government takeover of Americans’
The people have written! After sorting through scores of nominations from readers, I am dyspeptic to present another recipient of the “Educated Idiots Award” (EIA), which is given to the arrogant intellectuals unacquainted with real life who foist their insane
My late father had a phrase to describe the arrogant intellectuals unacquainted with real life who foist their insane ideas on the “unenlightened” rest of us: The phrase was “educated idiots.” Sadly, today his words ring ever truer. To witless:
