  • Barack Obama: Tell Me Who Your Friends Are and I’ll Tell You Who You Are

    By Selwyn Duke

    By now, everyone knows about the controversy surrounding Barack Obama and his vile, bigoted pastor, "Reverend" Jeremiah Wright.  Everyone is awaiting Obama’s speech on the subject, but what’s the point?  We know what he’s going to say.

  • The Concept of Free

    By Selwyn Duke

    A long time ago I wrote about the left’s very successful manipulation of language.  I think about this when I hear about socialized medicine schemes and "free health care."

  • When I Must Admire a Liberal

    By Selwyn Duke

    It probably won’t come as a surprise to many that I’m no fan of Geraldine Ferraro, but, wow, she must be receiving inspiration.  As you may know, she recently opined that Barack Obama would not be enjoying his current success were it not for his race.  And, as many don’t know, she is absolutely correct.

  • Taking a Toll on the PeopleWhy toll roads are absolutely the worst way to raise revenue

    You’re driving north on the New Jersey Turnpike
    (I-95), heading toward the Big Apple. Cruising along, you pass exits 7, then 8, 9, 10 and 11, and everything
    is fine.  Then you come to exit 12, and
    traffic starts to slow down; soon, it’s a New York bumper-to-bumper nightmare,
    the worst kind. Creeping along like an
    inchworm missing a few millimeters, you know that traffic will abate just down
    the road, just a few miles – and an hour and a half – away. You also know why:

  • Eliot Spitzer: Goodbye and Good Riddance

    By Selwyn Duke

    As a native New Yorker, I’ve long associated Eliot Spitzer with prostitution — the political variety, that is.  He’s a man who would, it seems, do anything to advance himself, including using his office when attorney general to harass pro-life organizations on behalf of the abortionists who greased his palms.  In this vein, Michelle Malkin reports on his latest quid pro quo with the abortion industry.  It’s called the Reproductive Health & Privacy Protection Act, and Malkin writes that it would:

  • Breitbart: 1 in 4 Girls Has a Sexual Disease

    By Selwyn Duke

    Staggeringly, a recent study shows that 25 percent of American teenage girls — and almost half of all black girls — have a sexually transmitted disease.  Writes Breitbart:

    Upon being asked what wisdom was, the ancient sage Confucius once
    replied, "Wisdom is, when you know something, knowing that you know it,
    and when you do not know something, knowing that you do not know it."
    If this definition is correct, I would say most politicians are sorely
    lacking in the quality.

  • Exposing the Galileo Myth

    By Selwyn Duke

    I responded today to an American Thinker piece by fellow AT contributor James Lewis titled "The Epicycles of Global Warming."  While Lewis’ article was very well done, it included a recapitulation of the Galileo myth, and I was moved to address it.  Here is my response:

  • Breaking News – NY Times: Gov. Eliot Spitzer tied to prostitution ring

    NEW YORK – Gov. Eliot Spitzer has told senior advisers that he had been involved in a prostitution ring, The New York Times reported Monday, citing an anonymous top administration official.
