…chelle Obama was able to prove to Guinness that 300,265 people did jumping jacks all over the world in a 24 hour period is beyond me. I’m still trying to figure out how her husband, war monger and assassinator, won the Nobel Peace Prize. Nevertheless, Guinness accepted the figure and this number of jumper jackers shattered the old record of 20,425. But wait, there is a problem. It looks as though Guinness World Records changed the rules …

I will try to get another column out before the end of the week. There will be a column by Ira Schwartz tomorrow about the Nobel Peace Prize. My Swedish Summer Many years ago, I left Sweden answering an ad for an Au Pair in Chappaqua, New York. I’m still here. Now married with a teenage child, and U…

… seemed on the superficial level to offer continuity, it was actually an ideological reversal, back to the Liberal wing of the Republican Party. Though he lambasted his opponent Michael Dukakis, tarring him with the “Liberal” label, which Reaganism had turned into a dirty word, Bush himself was every bit a Progressive. His admitted trouble with “the vision thing” prevented him from continuing with Reagan’s unfinished work: shrinking government, e…

F. A. Hayek “Why I Am Not a Conservative” By Nobel laureate F. A. Hayek. “At all times sincere friends of freedom have been rare, and its triumphs have been due to minorities, that have prevailed by associating themselves with auxiliaries whose objects often differed from their own; and this association, which is always dangerous, has sometimes been disastrous, by giving to opponents just grounds of opposition.” – Lord Acton Th…

… of these circumstances, the use of the word hero is trivialized. A deeper problem is that ides of myth, legend and story hold a society’s culture together. The concept of the hero is central to these. By misapplying the hero label and refraining from using it when needed takes our culture in the wrong direction. I hope we can recover the sense of propriety about who we call a hero and what they did to be considered brave before it’s too late. A …

Republicanism is not lost but it is certainly a candidate for a “Progressive Lite” label….or what as “Congress is Useless” all about? http://www.hollywoodrepublican.net/2011/11/congress-is-useless/ And all that is supported in academia today is under the myth of “academic freedom”.

…ith the protests since mid-September, including about 700 arrested during the Oct. 1 bridge demonstration, according to police. The demonstrators refer to themselves on signs and in slogans as “the 99 percent,” a reference to Nobel Prize- winning economist Joseph Stiglitz’s study showing the richest 1 percent control 40 percent of U.S. wealth. Oakland police cleared a downtown encampment yesterday after a slaying on Nov. 10. Police in Portland ev…

…ced around 98 degrees with 99% humidity, made me really, really, really appreciate AIR CONDITIONING. To this day I still feel we need to make the day air conditioning was invented a national holiday and its inventor given the Nobel Prize for anything. Back then the family doctor was just that and house calls were common place. But medicine was still in the dark ages compared to today. If it wasn’t for today’s medical advances millions of people …
