http://youtu.be/OkAr9Bov5Gc I thank God for small favors — and for the big ones, too. My company just got the opportunity to help promote Madison Rising, a new — and unabashedly pro-American — band that launches its debut album this week. The music video above is from that album. It is entitled “Walking Through That Door,” and it tells the […]

The Real Question About Mr. Cain’s Libya Interview
http://youtu.be/WW_nDFKAmCo Herman Cain is clearly talking nonsense about U.S. policy toward Libya during this much-criticized Milwaukee Sentinel interview this week. But the greater question is what on earth was Mr. Cain doing in Wisconsin in November? Wisconsin doesn’t hold its Republican primary until April (It has caucus meetings in February, but still…). The GOP nomination race could […]

http://youtu.be/ks4esvyHGLQ New York City has cleared Zuccotti Park of the Occupy Wall Street tents. That’s a good thing. But there are downsides. Where now will my old friend, the libertarian filmmaker Evan Coyne Maloney get material like this? Maloney’s secret, by the way, is that he he’s a genuinely affable guy. He lampoons the Left, […]

There may be no clearer thinking American today than Canadian Mark Steyn. He has an almost supernatural ability to see through smokescreens In an article appearing this morning in Investor’s Business Daily, the America Alone author toys with the wisdom coming out of the so-called congressional Super-Committee like a cat with a ball of loosely-strung yarn. Here is […]

http://youtu.be/B0rmHzBYHyc Say what you will about Rick Perry’s debate performance Wednesday night; the clean-up job by his media team has been remarkably good.

All went quiet on the Western Front on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month in 1918. The day became known as Armistice Day in America, and later Veterans Day. With such exact times recorded, one naturally wonders what happened in the minutes before. Did the fighting continue? Who was the […]

Three years ago I had the good fortune to bring my two eldest daughters to Washington, DC for a long weekend. They were the perfect ages for an inaugural trip to the nation’s capital, 10 and 12, and they were hopped up and wide-eyed from grammar school civics classes. We went at the exact right […]

The over/under on President Obama rescinding his 15-cent federal surtax on Christmas trees is 6 pm Thursday. Any takers? The Department of Agriculture tax is supposed to help support the image of the Christmas tree industry — paid for by people already buying Christmas trees. Huh? And if Christmas trees are taking a hit, why not allow […]
