A New Greek Oracle

February 28, 2010

The ancient Oracle of Delphi used to be a spot where ancient Greeks would go to breathe in various toxic fumes and listen to Pythia tell them about possible futures in cryptic phrases and symbols. Well, millennia later, the Greeks still have some prophesying to do — this time on the eventual collapse of what [...]

Miss Him Yet?

February 10, 2010

Well, duh, of course we do! But, this is an actual billboard paid for by a “group of small business owners and individuals who just felt like Washington was against them” up in Wyoming, Minnesota. Those who paid for the billboard want to remain anonymous, but their sentiment is made plain: as much as George [...]

Ryan’s Story of 2009

December 30, 2009

When the history books are written about 2009, what will they say? What will I be teaching my students about this year in ten years or so? I haven’t got a clue. You can’t anticipate what’s going to be historically important while it’s happening, with the exception of 9/11-type events. But even then, its impact [...]

Mark Steyn on Obamacare

July 8, 2009

Mark Steyn’s Election View: Obama in 2-D

November 1, 2008

I just finished reading Mark Steyn’s controversial book America Alone which deals with how European-style “social” democratic institutions have ruined the economy, military and culture of Europe to the point where two trends are set in motion which may permanently destroy Europe as we know it: a lack of children being born to support the growing welfare [...]

To McCain-Palin: “I’m Mad!”

October 9, 2008

At a joint town hall appearance today in Wisconsin, John McCain and Sarah Palin got a dose of the folk’s frustration, not just with the economy, but with the Republican ticket not stepping up their attacks on an obviously weak and potentially dangerous set of candidates. One fellow got up and said the following:

“I’m mad. [...]
