Clinton has been about to take the stage “any second now” for ten minutes, it seems.
Sean Hannity is chatting with Karl Rove. Rove expects a full-throated endorsement of Obama. I suggest instead we’ll see another Hillary-style incredibly well delivered, but substantively inadequate, speech. Just as Senator Clinton didn’t praise Obama much, President Clinton is likely […]

Had I been faster on the draw I could have had these done before the TV shows were aired on PBS but I’ve had a busy summer and lots of media to get through. Foyle’s War is a very nice, tight, and clean British murder mystery series set during World War II. The plots are […]

Don’t be scared off by either the word “Sundance” or “Limbaugh”. The film features no gay cowboys or strip-teasing eight-year-olds in a beauty pageant. Nor does the […]

The Catholic Lions Roar!

I genuinely enjoy FDR as a president.  The biggest reason why is because he was wise enough to look across the ideological divide and take some fantastic ideas from socialism and embed them into what had obviously become an overly oppressive and exploitative economic system.  He also fought the Nazis, still the proper decision to […]
