Royalists for Social Justice?
After yesterday’s post about the royal wedding, I decided to develop the theme into a column for The American Spectator: Conservatives, predisposed to defend all things traditional and hierarchical, might naturally be expected to admire the British monarchy. But the remarkable fact is that most of the Americans obsessed by the royal wedding (and the […]
Anti-Monarchist Christopher Hitchens Stubbornly Resists Royal Wedding Mania
Give him credit at least for consistency: Convinced republican that I am, and foe of the prince [i.e., Charles] who talks to plants and wants to be crowned “head of all faiths” as well as the etiolated Church of England, I find myself pierced by a pang of sympathy. Not much of a life, is […]
You Might Be a Terrible Mother If …
. . . there’s even the slightest chance you could ever lose custody of your kids to Charlie Sheen: Charlie Sheen is declaring legal war on Brooke Mueller and will not only ask a judge for full custody of their twins, he wants to cut off the child support he’s paying her. . . . […]

It’s not what his detractors want you to […]

by Smitty After about a half-hour outage, the network pipe seemed stable enough to grab some tuneage off of Amazon. Rush’s 1993 Counterparts has this essential cut. No matter how deep the rot revealed inside the Beltway, there just isn’t any excuse to give in to despair. You may be right, It’s all a waste […]
Sheen: My Show Is So Outstanding, I Should Totally Be President
by Smitty The headline is a complete fabrication. However, there is time for us all to chip in and send the POTUS to Toronto to catch Sheen’s act. As I doubt there is going to be any political will to impeach BHO, irrespective of what he does in the next 18 months, the least the […]
Having Met Todd Palin …
. . . I would advise anyone to avoid ever insulting the man. He is not particularly tall, nor ostensibly stocky, an easygoing, modest and quiet man by nature. Mr. Palin reminds me very much, however, of certain fellows I grew up around and, if I judge the man rightly, you’d never want to make […]
