Death of a Crush
Remember “Obama Girl?” The head cheerleader for America’s “crush on Obama” back during the election of 2008? Seen her lately? Here’s a well-produced video that does a good job of explaining in two minutes and twenty-two seconds how that crush died and why American voters are about to do a morning-after “walk of shame” to […]
Another "Deleted Scene" from "The Faith and Values of Sarah Palin"
Another snippet picked up from the cutting room floor: To the lover of pure wildness, Alaska is one of the most wonderful countries in the world. John Muir’s Journal, 1879 On a fog shrouded morning in June of 1879 John Muir, the legendary naturalist and explorer, packed his camera, a few blank notebooks, and some […]
The Zimbabwe-ization of Venezuela Continues Apace
Hugo Chavez continues his push to do for Venezuela what Robert Mugabe has done for Zimbabwe. Yet he remains an object of admiration among the Hollywood elite and many American Christian liberals.
Another "Deleted Scene" from The Faith and Values of Sarah Palin
Another bit of prose that ended up on the cutting room floor: Any American who has even casually followed the news since the presidential election of 2008 can surely recite the thirty-second biography of Sarah Palin: Grew up hunting and fishing in Wasilla, Alaska . . . co-captain on a state championship basketball team .

Here’s a worthwhile piece from Powerline’s John Hindraker on the ongoing breakdown of social order south of the U.S. border.

So they started digging. What they found may have blown the cover off endemic union-enabled vote fraud across the country. Catherine Englebrecht and friends started […]
Cut from the Palin Book – Part 2
Another deleted scene from the book, The Faith and Values of Sarah Palin: For most of us, our life memories begin with a small collection of hazy scenes from our fourth or fifth year of life. This is true for Sarah Palin, and thus her earliest memories are of Skagway. Most of those remembrances, in […]
Cut from the Palin Book – Part 1
As is often the case with books (and movies) a lot of stuff got cut in the final edit. The publisher had a specific word-count target in mind so after a frenzy of writing came the frenzy of cutting. I wrote probably 7,000 to 8.000 words that didn’t end up in the book. In order […]
