I can remember the days when liberals were strongly in favor of free speech. They would quote with pride the line attributed to Voltaire (but really made by English writer Beatrice Evelyn Hall) "I do not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it." Instead, […]
The New York Times' house Republican David Brooks, a man of such strength of belief that he is swayed only by pants creases, made an interesting observation on last Friday's PBS Newshour program. And I have my disagreements, say, with President Obama, but President Obama has run an amazingly scandal-free administration, not only he himself, but […]
Los Angeles appears likely to follow in the footsteps of Seattle and San Francisco in mandating a $15/hour minimum wage. If you want to make sure youth unemployment skyrockets, you couldn't come up with a better plan. The number of no-experience 16-year-olds who add more than $15 per hour to your business's value is vanishingly small. […]

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned is a paraphrase of a line written by British playwright William Congreve. Columbia University graduate Emma Sulkowicz is Exhibit A for the 21st Century that Congreve continues to be right. Sulkowicz has made a name for herself carrying around a mattress at Columbia University, including at last […]
On Monday, after 40,150 minutes, Hillary Clinton finally deigned to answer some questions from the court scribes. The former Secretary of State laughably claimed that she wanted all of the emails from her private email account on her private server that she decided she wanted the public to see should be "out there" as soon […]
There's a huge offshore drilling rig currently docked in Seattle, and another on its way, before making their way to their final home off the coast of Alaska.
