Country singer George Jones, who to my ears had the greatest voice ever recorded, died on Friday. A genius of phrasing and nuance, Jones had a stratospheric voice that captured human heartbreak with bottomless poignancy. I once read that when he was a kid, Jones's father would wake him up in the ...
Observing the noxious media aftermath following last week's Boston Marathon bombings, it has become abundantly clear that we, as a nation, need to start racially profiling liberal writers. I first heard about the bombings from a little old white lady at a gas station down the street last Monday ...
