Eric Arthur Blair George Orwell George Orwell: “Speaking the Truth in times of universal deceit is a revolutionary act.” “Pacifism is objectively pro-fascist. This is elementary common sense. If you hamper the war effort of one side, you automatically help out that of the other. Nor is there any real way of remaining outside such a war as the [...]

SEARCH BLOG: HEALTH CARE The Democratic Party was busy this weekend trying to push through the Senate version of the Health Care bill that has ignited the passions of those who would actually have to pay for the free ride it offers.

Let me take you on a tour of Britain, the Britain of sixty years ago, austerity Britain. The first thing you will notice is that is that the physical fabric of the country has barely recovered from the war. All of the larger cities, London especially, were still showing serious signs of damage, with bomb sites and many damaged houses.

The Wall Street Journal story described the contents of what had been taken and published to the internet: "In several of the emails, climate researchers discussed how to arrange...

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...
