The New Neo Posted on September 6, 2012 by neoSeptember 6, 2012

Although I didn’t plan to watch the Democratic Convention, I ended up overhearing a large portion of Bill Clinton’s speech last night. I was at the home of some Democrats; the TV was on in the background, and of course … Continue reading →

The New Neo Posted on August 7, 2012 by neoAugust 7, 2012

Here’s a great reminiscence from Victor Davis Hanson about military historian John Keegan, who died on August 2. Hanson had a unique encounter with him, and his piece reflects on the greatness of the man not only in his professional … Continue reading →

FDR: fireside demagoguery—“saving the Court from itself”

The New Neo Posted on April 4, 2012 by neoApril 4, 2012

[NOTE: Last night I wrote a draft of a post on how Barack Obama’s latest remarks on SCOTUS precedent are an attempt to emulate Franklin Roosevelt in the 30s. I was going to polish it up and submit it to … Continue reading →

Dick Cheney: age, status, and heart transplants

The New Neo Posted on March 26, 2012 by neoMarch 26, 2012

As soon as Dick Cheney’s heart transplant was announced, the predictable unfunny jokes began to proliferate: Have they put Bush on the brain transplant list? Don’t they mean an implant, since he didn’t have a heart to begin with? Too … Continue reading →

The myth of the heavy-ish Marilyn Monroe

The New Neo Posted on March 19, 2012 by neoMarch 13, 2013

The time has come to debunk once and for all the myth that Marilyn Monroe was fat, or even somewhat heavy. I’m not the first one to have tried (see this, for example). And yet the notion persists that she … Continue reading →

Limbaugh and the “slut” remark

The New Neo Posted on March 3, 2012 by neoMarch 3, 2012

You may notice I haven’t yet written anything about Rush Limbaugh’s comments about Sandra Fluke’s sex life and the issue of compensation to pay for contraception, and the furor they’ve caused. Why? Because I don’t write much about Rush Limbaugh, … Continue reading →

Here’s the very best…

The New Neo Posted on March 2, 2012 by neoMarch 2, 2012

…reminiscence about that unique, funny, effervescent wild man Andrew Breitbart. It’s written by Matt Labash of the Weekly Standard, who does a good job of showing why so very many people couldn’t help but like Breitbart—including Bill Ayers. Yep, that … Continue reading →

Devastating news: Andrew Breitbart dead at 43

The New Neo Posted on March 1, 2012 by neoMarch 2, 2012

No one can be replaced, but some people seem more irreplaceable than others, and Andrew Breitbart was one of them. He was also one of the last people whose death announcement I expected to read today. He was young. He … Continue reading →

Villella: dance and guys

The New Neo Posted on February 20, 2012 by neoFebruary 20, 2012

Edward Villella’s position at the helm of the Miami Ballet appears to be in trouble. You might ask: Who? What? If you read the piece, you’ll see that the issue seems to be one that pervades the arts these days, … Continue reading →

Thoughts on Martin Luther King Day

The New Neo Posted on January 16, 2012 by neoJanuary 16, 2012

I have trouble with the hagiography of Martin Luther King. Yes, he was a great man who did a great thing for which he should be duly honored: he was an inspirational figure in the non-violent civil rights movement in … Continue reading →

Pay no attention to that debt behind the curtain

The New Neo Posted on January 2, 2012 by neoJanuary 2, 2012

Regular readers of this blog know that economics is not my field of expertise, although I’m familiar enough with the subject to know that common sense doesn’t get a person very far, and that there’s a great deal of argument … Continue reading →

So, what would Romney do…

The New Neo Posted on December 30, 2011 by neoJune 7, 2012

…if he were elected president? I’ve read many comments (at this blog and other sites) like this one from “geran” on the subject: “The worse habit of a ‘True Conservative’ is a certain disconnect with reality of any sort.” I’m … Continue reading →
