Thomas Sowell is retiring from the column business

The New Neo Posted on December 27, 2016 by neoJuly 3, 2019

I can understand it; after all, Sowell is 86. Writing a regular column takes a lot of dedication, and he’s been working hard all his life. Time for some relaxation while he still has enough health to enjoy it: Even … Continue reading →

Tallulah

The New Neo Posted on December 26, 2016 by neoDecember 26, 2016

What a name she had: Tallulah Bankhead. What a voice she had. Even among the many dramatic and flamboyant personalities who used to populate Hollywood and the theater in the 30s and 40s, Bankhead was more unpredictable than most as … Continue reading →

Kissinger on Trump

The New Neo Posted on December 20, 2016 by neoDecember 20, 2016

American hero John Glenn dies at 95

The New Neo Posted on December 9, 2016 by neoDecember 9, 2016

Leonard Cohen explains about his singing

The New Neo Posted on December 2, 2016 by neoDecember 2, 2016

And, since he’s Leonard Cohen, he explains it very, very well: And what about the charge that his singing causes people to feel suicidal? Exactly. As for me, I happen to think that Leonard Cohen’s renditions of his own songs … Continue reading →

Neil Sedaka

The New Neo Posted on November 26, 2016 by neoNovember 26, 2016

Yes, Neil Sedaka. Why not? As for the why, I was listening to the song “Breaking Up is Hard to Do” the other day. I hadn’t heard it in a gazillion years, and I got curious about him. So I … Continue reading →

The New Neo Posted on November 26, 2016 by neoNovember 26, 2016

The news comes as something of a shock—not because Castro has died, but because he was still alive till now and only 90 years old. After all, this was a man who came to power during the Eisenhower presidency, and … Continue reading →

Et tu, Oprah?

The New Neo Posted on November 14, 2016 by neoNovember 14, 2016

Almost as soon as the Trump win had occurred, I began noticing that, among former Trump opposers left and right, it was shaking down into two camps: the optimists and the pessimists. The optimists were saying some version of “wait … Continue reading →
