For those of you with better things to do–and that’s virtually all of you–Keith Olbermann has this segment on his show called “Tea Time.” The intent, as far as I can understand it, is to mock and ridicule Tea Party members–definitely the road less taken at MSNBC and yet another reason why Olbermann has become [...]

Book review: Why Intelligence Fails – WSJ.com
February 25, 2010 By 1 Comment
When we hear the sound of hoofbeats, should we think horses or zebras? The question is a classic problem of intelligence analysis. Too often in recent years the CIA, FBI and Department of Homeland Security have got it wrong—most recently with the Christmas Day underwear bomber, who was able to board a U.S.-bound flight despite [...]
The Ideological Rigidity of Ron Paul’s Economics
February 24, 2010 By Leave a Comment
Part 1 of my Ron Paul essay received more attention than I expected. His supporters are intense, to say the least.

I started listening to The Glenn Beck Program in 2003. One of the things that attracted me to the show was the opening music. It went something like “Glenn Beck, Glenn Beck.

January 20, 2010 By Leave a Comment
That clunking sound you hear is the Media Matters spin machine breaking down.
The George Soros Steno Pool is so unglued this morning that they’ve either lost their ability to read simple English, or more likely, they’re just twisting simple facts into pretzels in sheer desperation.
Today they announce: “Poll undermines conservative claim that Brown victory is [...]

Run Away! Run Away!
The first twenty minutes of President Obama’s speech at West Point found me in a state of shock. His clear and forceful justification for our presence in Afghanistan, sound identification of the enemy, the Taliban and not just Al Qaida, and the declaration of his intention to commit the necessary troops to
