There was something deeply satisfying about watching Sunday's Academy Awards show end in unmitigated disaster. It was the perfect capper to a very bad year for our beloved Hollywood elites. Trump's victory, Hillary's defeat, Obama's farewell, the GOP claiming both houses of Congress and an ...
In my column several weeks ago, I took a swipe at certain types of Christian conservatives, suggesting that their belief in the reality of "demonic possession" leads them to accept wild notions about how the entertainment industry can magically influence the voting preferences of average ...
The hellstorm of protests that greeted Milo Yiannopoulos on the UC Berkeley campus wasn"t nearly as disheartening as the flood of pro-censorship op-eds that poured from the pages of the Daily Cal newspaper in the days that followed. The anti-Milo riots could (in theory) be dismissed as the work ...
Ace Backwords doesn"t recognize Berkeley anymore. Sure, some of that can be attributed to his admitted drinking problem. But in a more figurative sense, the local icon and popular "underground" cartoonist no longer sees in present-day Berkeley even a small trace of the ostensibly ...
What a genocidal racist Donald Trump is! Last week, as proof of his desire to rid the world of nonwhites, he resuscitated the so-called Mexico City Policy, which withholds U.S. funding from international NGOs that perform or promote abortions. And the same leftists who"ve accused Trump of being ...
When it comes to how the right should deal with Hollywood leftism, Andrew Breitbart, much as he did on the night of his passing, took the long way home. He advocated a complex battle-plan to deal with a problem that, it turns out, has a deceptively simple solution. During his life, he worked ...
Hollywood simply cannot conceal its massive butthurt over Donald Trump winning the election. With awards season in full swing, expect a slew of Meryl Streep moments from now through the Oscars. Showbiz types are a uniquely repulsive species, and I say that having mixed with them for the better part ...
Jazz great Louis Armstrong, one of the most influential figures in the history of American music, kept a spoken-word diary via a reel-to-reel tape recorder he"d take with him on the road. When the recordings were first made public in their entirety in the early 2000s, I remember being struck by ...
Ah, Israel, the ultimate wedge issue for people on the right. Nothing can queer an alliance between mainstream conservatives, paleoconservatives, and white nationalists quicker than Israel. There's so much we all agree on! Affirmative action and antiwhite racism? Blech! Illegal immigration? Phooey! ...
Yeah, that's right"I went there. No, I don"t mean the gay bar (although I did go there, too). I mean I used "tail" instead of "tale" because the story I"m telling involves a dog, a pun so tired and hackneyed it's beneath even the most banal of writers. But by this time ...
