I have long said that we men really are not much. Women are unquestionably the superior gender. We certainly would not be at war now in Iraq if women were in charge.
My son, who is embarking on that stage of his life where he is thinking about a wife, recently asked me a few questions [...]

Eighteen months ago, with Hillary leading Obama by a wide margin and probably already having commissioned the initial design etching of her inaugural pantsuit, I wrote a column titled: “Hillary will be sunk by a vast left-wing conspiracy.”
In it I said “Barack Obama is the anointed big media Democratic presidential nominee. From the way journalists [...]

“If they (Tennessee Republicans) think that they are going to make Michelle an issue in this campaign, they should be careful, because I find unacceptable the notion that you start attacking my wife.”

“A man has to believe in something. I believe I’ll have another drink.”

Our Washington government is starting to remind me of my drunk uncle. Perhaps we all have one; he is the guy who shows up late at family reunions, in a remorseful “going to make it up to us all” way, given [...]

It is the time of the year when a young college man’s thoughts turn to romance; and if that does not pan out, he takes a lead from Eliot Spitzer and turns to the Yellow Pages.
We are in the throes of an annual bacchanalian rite in the United States: Spring break, wherein our teenaged kids [...]

“If you have 10,000 regulations, you destroy all respect for the law.”
— Winston Churchill
It seems that with the resurgence of the Democratic majority in Congress and the years of drift by the complacent Republicans, symbolic gestures and showy Congressional hearings are on the rise.
Recently, Congress paraded baseball players before a committee to testify on possible [...]

“The big, the new scandal breaking here in New York, Eliot Spitzer apparently involved in some kind of prostitution activities — you know what that means: hookers. And right now, Spitzer is huddling with his advisers to develop a drinking problem.”
— David Letterman
NEW YORK — It’s when things like this happen that I love writing [...]

First, since the Democratic establishment wants to control everything in a manner it sees fit, the Democratic National Committee punished Florida and [...]
