I take offense to MoDo‘s PDS hyperbole: Sarah’s view of America is primitive. You’re either a pointy-headed graduate of Harvard Law School or you’re eviscerating animals for fun, which she presents as somehow more authentic. I’m the former, but not the latter, yet.  But the two...

Mario Vargas Llosa, the most recent winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature, addressed a crowd in Stockholm during his Nobel Lecture yesterday. The transcript is worth reading, but here is one part I found to be particularly lovely: “Let those who doubt that literature...

I was born in 1990. Therefore, for most of my life, I have had to live under the veil of Hillary Clinton as “every girl’s role model.” Clinton is undoubtedly very smart and talented. After all, you don’t get into Wellesley or Yale Law school...

Bob Costa and Andrew Stiles of National Review had a great interview with South Carolina’s Governor-elect Nikki Haley. Before today, I didn’t know much about her aside from her policies (vaguely) but I’m really glad I took the time to read the interview. Particularly when...

Who am I to argue with a tireless and indefatigable blog goddess: “Legal Insurrection is the greatest blog I’ve ever seen. It is full of insightful commentary on the human condition, with a wit-tinged subtext calling out for hope in a world of change, bringing...

John Stossel wrote a great column about how, if the present political class had been in power four hundred years ago, we would not have Thanksgiving today. “Long before the failure of modern socialism, the earliest European settlers gave us a dramatic demonstration of the...
