Writing. Meet Mr. Wall. Wall. Say hello to The Writing.  The question I’m pondering this morning is this: “In what meaningful ways would a McCain presidency differ from a Hillary administration?” I’m not being pedantic or ironic. It’s a question I’m processing in my mind. Between a Hillary pulled right by events and a McCain drawn left by […]

The horror of political correctitude that Canada now is is precisely what we will be if we continue to hand political control over to the party of Nancy Pelosi and […]
To no one’s surprise, Fred Thompson has dropped out of the race. In hindsight, Monday morning quarterbacking, and all that. . .Remember that six month period of time when Fred was doing a fan dance? Teasing everyone about if and when he was going to get into the race? Early on, there was a huge […]
