He claims that over the years, Rosenberg has labeled her peers in [...]

Father George W. Rutler: The year 1942 had more glaring villains and shining saints than almost any other year. Read it all. You will be glad you did. (And for those who do not remember the history of In Flanders Fields, read it here.)

More classic Steyn as he identifies more pompous asses: It’s true that I have no education or expertise in …well, anything, really. So let’s go to a man who does – New York Times honcho Thomas Friedman: …this bill’s goal of reducing U.S. carbon emissions to 17 percent below 2005 levels by 2020 is nowhere [...]

Joanne Jacobs: Michele Kerr, who comments here as “Cal,” has earned a master’s degree from Stanford’s Teacher Education Program (STEP), despite threats to declare her “unsuited” for teaching. FIRE has the links. . . . Stanford tried to revoke Kerr’s admission after she voiced disagreement with “progressive” views held by STEP administrators, but FIRE intervened [...]

Dr. Weiss is co-author of the book, Radical Prescription — A Physician’s Perspective on Healthcare Reform. The book, in its entirety, is available online. The primary theme — attacking cost [...]
