Posted: September 2nd, 2010, 9:00pm PDT
The first thing many people think when they see the carnage going on in Mexico is, “What have we done?” Then they exhale and add, “If Mexicans are killing each other to supply us with pot, meth, coke, and heroin, our need for each must ... -

Six months before the invasion of Iraq, Taki Theodoracopulos, Scott McConnell and this writer launched a new magazine, The American Conservative.

Three Cheers for Dr. Laura
Posted: September 1st, 2010, 9:00pm PDT
I haven’t heard Dr. Laura Schlessinger’s radio show for many years now, but I still have many fond memories of the smart, brash, opinionated, no-nonsense, funny, bitchily-charming woman whose voice dominated the talk radio airwaves for a while, pushing even the mighty King Limbaugh’s ample ... -
The Secret of Eternal Youth
Posted: September 1st, 2010, 9:00pm PDT
Spetses. I was filled with unbearable nostalgia. There I was again, boating, swimming, sunning, wine drinking with good friends, feeling the ecstasy that only a Mediterranean afternoon can arouse in me.

Glenn Beck: Beggar-in-Chief
Posted: August 31st, 2010, 9:00pm PDT
I’ve somehow missed out on the Glenn Beck phenomenon. My entire exposure to the guy has been from his occasional appearances on the O’Reilly show, which I watch from long habit. Beck’s persona there is goofy. He giggles, hams, pulls faces, and banters with O’Reilly. ... -
Can the Tea Party Deliver?

The Myth of Equality
Posted: August 29th, 2010, 9:00pm PDT
In 21st century America, institutional racism and sexism remain great twin evils to be eradicated on our long journey to the wonderful world where, at last, all are equal. What are we to make, then, of a profession that rewards workers with fame and fortune, ... -

In Defense of Stoning
Posted: August 24th, 2010, 9:00pm PDT
