God v. State: Steel Cage Death Match, Loser Leaves Town!
Dennis Prager has a wonderfully insightful — and technically inciteful — column in today’s Town Hall schmeer. Do you recall that I recently contrasted Prager to Michael Medved by saying the former was sometimes profound? This is one of those times.
Profundity doesn’t always mean enunciating a brand new revelation; it can also be [...]
On Taxes, Violent Revolution, Michael Medved, and the Late Mr. Stack
On today’s show, Michael Medved said something fatuous.
Yes, I know this is hardly news enough even to raise an eyebrow; he has done it many times before, and he will continue to do it. To be fair, he also says things now and again that are unusually perceptive; but to continue our brutal fair [...]

Failure Is Always an Option - Thank Goodness!
I was going to write about the curious fact that it’s not only mathematically possible but now even somewhat plausible that Republicans could take over the Senate in November; but everybody and his monkey’s paw is already going on about that. So I’m shifting gears: Instead, I’ll argue against Michael Medved and every [...]
DWTS
One pitfall — or do I mean pratfall? — into which a disturbing large percent of conservatives fall — including Hugh Hewitt, Michael Medved, and a rasher of conservative columnists — is to pooh-pooh such supposedly “elitist” pastimes as dance, serious music, and art. I suspect that if you scratch many self-proclaimed conservatives, you [...]
