Hopefully the extra cash flow will help stymie...

300 Shocker
Since about, oh, September 12, 2001, every writer, producer, director, and suit in this town has known one thing to be true: Don’t make fun of our so-called “enemies.” Don’t stereotype them as bad guys. Don’t mock their beliefs. Don’t even mention their names. And for heaven’s sake, don’t make them mad. Instead, try to understand them. Celebrate their diversity. And realize that, in a world...

Barack Obama’s Top Ten Foreign Policy Follies
This has hardly been a stellar year for the projection of American global power. Weakness, rather than strength, has been the hallmark of US foreign policy under Barack Obama, from the Iranian nuclear crisis to dithering over the war in Afghanistan.

Conversation with a Born Again
Last week while I was bored, I noticed a friend’s Honesty Box on Facebook. Her question read: “Want to tell me a secret?” Since I didn’t have a secret to share, I decided to ask her what the meaning of life was. She gave me a sort of vague and aimless “God” answer, which I won’t post because it’s not important. But she ended with the words:...
