Forward is not a destination. If you’d asked Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot or their supporters if they were taking their nations forward, they’d have undoubtedly said “yes.” Mussolini? Forward. Napoleon?

If you missed the Democratic Convention, you didn’t miss much. It was extremely liberal, relatively nasty, and most of it was paint-dry-boring watching. The DNC was also abortion-palooza 2012.

A Democratic National Convention Review: Day 2 (Booing God, Even Cenk Uygur Was Bored, And Clinton Gone Wild)

Day 2 of the DNC was a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day for the Democrats. It started with an attempt to fix a previous mistake: The Democrats were going to put “God” and making Jerusalem the capital of Israel back into the DNC platform. In and of itself, that move just drew more […]

What Happens If Obama Wins A 2nd Term? Probably 4 More Years Of Gridlock

Here’s the Obama line on what happens if he’s reelected. If Barack Obama wins re-election, Republicans will accept the fruitlessness of strategic obstruction.

The 7 Most Overrated Blockbuster Movies Of The Last 20 Years

As a capitalist, it’s tempting to say that box-office receipts are a better judge of a movie’s worth than Hollywood award ceremonies.
