. . . here’s something cool. The “Movie Poster Addict” website has a display of the the promotional posters for each of the last 79 “Best Picture” winners. What a contrast to today’s marketing. I love the slogan for the Frank Capra film above: “You’ll love them all for giving you the swellest time you’ve ever had!” I was […]
Media bias for one thing. Check this out.
1. In the post below I mentioned Michelle Obama’s hyperbolic warning that under an MesmerO administration, we’ll all be required to “shed our cynicism.” (The phrase triggers an image of a bunch of snakes molting their skins.) Today Mark Steyn mentions that the whole concept of compulsory cynicism shedding reminds him of this old Dilbert cartoon: […]
As Jim Geraghty reported this morning, Michelle Obama is the gift that keeps on giving. In a recent speech she gave us a glimpse of what you and I will and won’t be allowed to do under President MesmerO:  Barack Obama will require you to work. He is going to demand that you shed your cynicism. […]
 I missed this Charles Krauthammer piece from a few days ago which covers a lot of the same territory as my ObaMessiah post below. Excerpt: Obama has an astonishingly empty paper trail. He’s going around issuing promissory notes on the future that he can’t possibly redeem. Promises to heal the world with negotiations with […]
Google has gone too far. Yes, for years the principal partners have donated hundreds of millions to left-wing causes. Yes, they have been complicit partners in the Chinese government’s Big Brother information control regime.

Seriously, people.  Poster: Ray Noland  The spirit of adulation presently gripping the multitudes in the thrall of the entrangling power of the hypnotic waves of joy emanating from the Obama persona has rapidly moved from amusing, to startling, to disturbing, and beyond. It’s now pegging the “creepy” meter.  As Mayor Shinn said of Professor Harold Hill […]
On the menu above you will find a new tab labled “My Reading List.” It’s my way of preparing an answer in advance in the unlikely event that you should wonder, “Has David read any good books lately?” There you will find links to three pages: Â one for a list of books I have recently […]
Competing with the one-piece jumpsuit for future-men was the. . . what would you call it. . . a smock-vest? Actually I wore something not unlike this in Junior High. I had buried it in my subconscious but James Lileks brought all the polyester horror back to the surface a few days ago when he […]
I noted Lincoln’s birthday in a post below. Came across a long, wonderful, illuminating essay by my favorite Abe-o-phile, Andrew Ferguson, over at First Things. He explores the conundrum and mystery of Lincoln’s Christian faith in “Lincoln and the Will of God.”
