Poor, Poor, Pitiful AnnAnn Coulter’s foul-mouthed antics remind me of Lyndon LaRouche who blends sexual innuendo with political polemics to produce such masterpieces as “The Sexual Impotence of the Puerto Rican Socialist Party,” and, more lately, “The Little Lords of the Unzipped Flies.” Coulter’s tone apes LaRouche at his wackiest... |

Learning Not to ChokeThe sports in which one tends to choke are boxing, karate, judo, tennis, golf most of all, and things like darts, pool, and other such extremely silly pursuits.

History
Being Honest About AbeWith the recent observation of Abraham Lincoln’s 200th birthday, it might be worth looking at what the last two centuries have wrought. George Washington’s vision of a humble constitutional republic, decentralized and debt free, has been replaced by an imperial superpower, where U.S. influence not only spans the globe, but the globe foots the bill, as presidents and Congress hastily pass “bailouts” and “stimulus packages” in the hopes that China and other foreign nations will keep America financially afloat. Washington’s farewell address, in which he urged a young republic to avoid “foreign entanglements” has been rejected by an America forever searching for foreign nations to tangle with. With the nationalization of significant parts of our economy, the Founders’ attempt at republican democracy further descends into empire. Perhaps it is time Americans were honest about their Caesar? |
