The New Mark Twain?
Newly minted Senator Scott Brown has been offered a book deal, and MSNBC’s Chris Matthews thinks he should just say no:

According to “The Wall Street Journal,” Brown is [...]

In Tom Brokaw’s documentary Boomers!, which aired last week, the main subjects — six baby boomers — asked the narrator at the end of the program what he thought a good word was to describe the baby boomer legacy. To which Brokaw answers, “Unrealized.”

“Defend Education”: The Usual Suspects Behind California Unrest
March 7, 2010 By Leave a Comment
As predicted yesterday in my post about bourgeois Berkeley brats bemoaning tuition hikes, far from being a genuine student upswell, these poor saps are, in fact, being orchestrated by an extensive coalition of neo-communist networks.

A New View of Marriage
February 13, 2010 By Leave a Comment
Marriage seems to be a hot topic these days — perhaps because of all the politicians who can’t keep their penises in their pants.
Or maybe that’s just a coincidence. Regardless, there’s a new book out called Marry Him: The Case for Settling for Mr. Good Enough, by Lori Gottlieb. The gist of the book is [...]
