The war on women, by women
This was rather predictable: Democratic “strategist” and DNC adviser Hilary Rosen was being interviewed by Anderson Cooper about the so-called “war on women,” and said the following about Ann Romney, “Guess what, [Romney’s] wife has actually never worked a day … Continue reading →
Worried about the deficit?
If so, you can help Uncle Sam out. I was doing my taxes, going over everything with a fine-toothed comb (and then some), when this stopped me in my tracks: How Do You Make a Gift to Reduce Debt Held … Continue reading →
Zimmerman case and second-degree murder
One of the odd things about the latest announcement in the Zimmerman case is that the charge was second-degree murder. That’s much heftier than was expected, but it could have been done in order to temporarily placate those crying for … Continue reading →
George Zimmerman…
…has been arrested and charged with 2nd degree murder. You may have noticed that so far I have refrained from drawing any conclusions about Zimmerman’s guilt or innocence, because we just don’t know enough about the facts of the case. … Continue reading →

Hard-wired politics: what about changers?
New York magazine’s Sasha Issenberg has a weak article on a topic that interests me, the difference between liberals and conservatives, and whether it’s hard-wired. In it, he (and some of the researchers he quotes) not only displays the typical … Continue reading →
The Hunger Games
What do you get when you cross the TV show “Survivor” with the Roman Colosseum, “The Lottery,” dystopian sci-fi, Lord of the Flies, “The Most Dangerous Game,” and “The Wizard of Oz,” and then pitch it to the audience for … Continue reading →
