While pundits and politicians use the mass shootings in Dayton, El Paso, and Odessa to score cheap political points, I thought it would be a good time to take a deep breath and reflect on that age-old question, Why do bad things happen to good people — or, perhaps more accurately, to innocent bystanders? To […]

Last week I wrote a two-part article about Woodstock and the events leading up to it, and it got me to thinking about my years growing up in the Midwest. For space reasons, I did not include these thoughts in my Woodstock article, but I’d like to share some of them with you today. I […]

Following Woodstock, the slovenly intellectual attitude of the hippies rolled on through the seventies, then began to lose steam in the eighties. Perhaps it was Ronald Reagan’s presence in the White House that slowed its progress, perhaps it was the glorification of Wall Street and Tom Wolfe’s depiction of its titans as “Masters of the […]

I remember going to an orthopedic doctor for a pinched nerve about 35 years ago and telling him that, without warning, I felt an excruciating pain in my neck, like someone had stabbed me with an ice pick.

Democrats seem almost giddy with excitement over the back-to-back massacres in El Paso and Dayton, and with good reason.

Tonight’s Dirty Dem debate will once again be about hating Trump, hating America, redistribution of wealth, and pummeling mainstream American values. And, once again, Joker Joe Biden will be front and center. He’s the perfect politician. He’s never accomplished anything, has almost no knowledge of important issues, and goes about his corruption in a low-key […]

Sooner or later, you knew it had to happen. With all the racism going on in the most racist country on earth, it was just a matter of time until someone elevated a racist dog into the spotlight — a white, blue-eyed, racist canine with a hateful racist bark. Not only is he the wrong […]

Thanks to the cultural division over the Vietnam War, “Love it or leave it” became a battle cry for the anti-hippie crowd in the sixties and seventies. I was going through my purist libertarian years back then, confused about the difference between theory and reality, so I was kind of turned off by this slogan. […]

Most pundits believe that when every Democratic candidate raised his/her hand when asked if they would support healthcare for illegal immigrants, it was the death knell for the Dirty Dems’ chances in 2020. And they’re probably right. Even so, from what we’ve witnessed to date, there are certain to be many more excellent reasons not […]
