Environmental Wackosim: We Are the Idiots
The next time an environmentalist warns us of a pending disaster or that we are running out of something, we ought to ask: When was the last time a prediction of yours was right?
Undoing the Brainwashing

“Mad Men”: The Left’s Hidden Persuader
One question about the creators of “entertainment” such as “Mad Men” which I have never seen asked by other critics is: Why are they stuck in that particular creative rut? Why are stories that are pro-individualism, pro-happiness, and pro-freedom impossible to them to conceive of and develop?
