Fiction - paperback; Tivoli; 352 pages; 2004. If you ever needed proof that I have rather eclectic reading tastes, then this review coming directly after W.G. Sebald's The Emigrants and George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four should do it. Admittedly, I read Everyone's Got A Bono Story on my sick bed; my mind couldn't settle on anything and I was looking for something completely fluffy, something that...

Thoughts on Alessandro Porco’s Augustine in Carthage and Other Poems (ECW Press, 2008) by Jean-Christophe Cloutier Like most books of poetry, Augustine in Carthage And Other Poems deals with beauty, quotidian existence, and the human spirit.

Obama's Indecision Absolutely. Obama's indecision. I have written on this many times and Kent Blackwell at American Thinker says this: "Cost of indecision about Afghanistan is mounting." That's not a headline in Human Events, or some conservative blog. It's the title of a column by the dean of liberal Washington pundits, David Broder. Even David Broder is concerned about President Obama's...

From 1984 by George Orwell: The Party is not a class in the old sense of the word. It does not aim at transmitting power to its own children, as such; and if there were no other way of keeping the ablest people at the top, it would be perfectly prepared to recruit an entire new generation from the ranks of the proletariat. In the crucial years, the fact that the Party was not a hereditary body did...

Winston Smith was a man who woke up one day in 1984 to realize the government was out to get him. They'd removed his control, they'd removed his freedom, they'd removed his humanity all in the name of doing him good. The future is progressing a lot slower than George Orwell thought, but that doesn't mean his predictions aren't coming true. Governments world wide want to take away your freedom to take...
