I just got finished reading the 2-fer of Greg Bear’s sci-fi collection “Darwin’s Radio” and its sequel “Darwin’s Children.” Bear is known as a “hard” sci-fi writer in that his works hew very closely to science as we know it. Bear follows that model here as he spins a story involving viruses, the human genome […]
Paul Ryan attempts to have an adult conversation with intellectual heavyweight Debbie Wasserman Schultz. And fails miserably.
Loretta Sanchez tells Univision viewers that those pesky Vietnamese are plotting to take her seat from her. Don’t hold your breath waiting for the condemnation from the MSM. If you’re interested, you can contribute to “that Vietnamese” guy’s campaign here.
Any politician, or any person, especially when they're speaking off the cuff, can say stupid ignorant things. Generally, it's not indicative of any larger intellectual issues, unless your last name is Bush.

Christine O’Donnell defeated Mike Castle yesterday in Delaware’s GOP Primary. As I said the day before, I don’t think she’s electable in that blue state. Sen. Jim DeMint might rather have 35 Marco Rubios than 65 Mike Castles – that may make him feel he’s principled, but it’s a Pyrrhic victory. In the latter case, […]
Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer has been in the news lately. Last week, National Review’s Bench Memos writer Matthew J. Franck reported on an article Breyer wrote for the Journal of Supreme Court History that was riddled with factual errors. The biggest error was that the infamous Dred Scott decision was a 6-3 decision. Any […]
