How would monks who have taken a vow of silence sing the Hallelujah Chorus? Like this:

Mundane Noodle!
One of the joys of watching “A Christmas Story” over and over is the challenge of deciphering Darren McGavin’s made up swear words when he’s doing battle with the furnace in the basement or with a flat tire on the Oldsmobile. With that in mind, here are some key phrases that may come in handy […]
Great Sci-Fi Ruined by BDS and Liberal Platitudinizing
Jonah Goldberg has a great essay up over at Commentary Magazine about the way Battlestar Galactica deteriorated into liberal nonsense and New Age gobbledygook. Excerpt: In the two (awful) sequels to The Matrix, a -science-fiction hit about humans being used as a fuel source by a world overtaken by machines, Bush is visually compared to […]
What "Hide the Decline" Really Means (It's Worse Than You Think)
This long and mildly technical post by Marc Sheppard over at American Thinker is a pretty devastating explanation of just how bad the Clima-quiddick scandal is.

The following graph shows, for each president, what percentage of his cabinet had private sector work experience before entering the cabinet. In other words, what […]
Mom: Son in coma heard everything for 23 years
From the AP newswire: BRUSSELS – A mother says her son has emerged from what doctors thought was a vegetative state to say he was fully conscious for 23 years but could not respond because he was paralyzed. Rom Houben had a car crash in 1983 and doctors thought he had sunk into an apparent […]
Speaking of the Government's War on Business Owners . . .
In the post below, I noted, “The Dems pursued a strategy of trying to help job seekers by attacking and hamstringing job providers.” Today, Congressman Michael Burgess (from this neck of the woods) had a chance to grill Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and made pretty much the same point: BURGESS: Your own special inspector general […]
