Shorter John Bolton: Democratic elections are only a good thing when they result in our guy winning Maybe Bolton would like to go to Egypt as a poll watcher to keep people from voting while Muslim. Yes. This a good idea.

Building upon the rousing success stories of Sharon Angle and Christine O’Donnell, Tea Baggers have turned their lonely eyes to the only man who can unseat evil Snowe Queen Olympia Snowe, a woman who may very well be invincible seeing as she survived the Salt Monsters of the Red State Strike Force. In a Very [...]

Before I begin, no post about Atlas Shrugged is complete if it does not include this: There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally [...]

We’re on our way to Orange County (or as I call it: Northern California) for the day and won’t be home until late this evening so here are your bassets early. Fenway is not a fan of the cold, and by “cold” I mean it was about seventy-two the other day when I took the [...]

Flush with potential cash, they will super-size their lunch today [...]

Young fresh-faced Congressman Ben Quayle waxes metaphorical in his freshman class Reagan Day essay: When I was a child, President Ronald Reagan was the nice man who gave us jelly beans when we visited the White House.
