I'm delighted to see that John Miller is sticking it to The Man by self-publishing his new novel, The First Assassin . This kind of thing used to be called a "vanity press" and, as Derb wrote eight years ago when he did the same thing: The names of the vanity presses are very well known to literary editors, book reviewers and the like, and anything that comes into a newspaper or magazine...

As state legislators prepare to take up the controversial STAR (sales tax and revenue) bonds bill in veto session this week, Troy Mayor Tom Caraker said he and a group of city leaders stand in strong opposition. He said he wasn't going to be "politically correct" and keep quiet. "It is the most unfair, irresponsible piece of legislation that has passed the General Assembly," Caraker...

(By JOHN MILLER, Associated Press Writer) An Idaho junior hockey team was banished temporarily from a city ice rink after players engaged in a game of "strip hockey" - shedding a piece of uniform every time a practice shot missed its mark. As redress for last Wednesday's incident, Boise forbid the Idaho Junior Steelheads team from using Idaho Ice World for four days; one 17-year-old player...

Scott Johnson and John Miller have exposed the fatuousness of Rocco Landesman’s claim that President Obama is the first president that actually writes his own books since Teddy Roosevelt and arguably the first to write them really well since Lincoln. If you accept the premise, and I do, that the United States is the most powerful country in the world, then Barack Obama is the most powerful writer...

Rally Held For Climate Change At State Capitol - cbs4denver.com "A leader from CU, another from Colorado State have not made the case that we have a catastrophic crisis developing. They say there are some trends that disturb them, but when we pressed them a leader from Colorado, a leader from Colorado State were unwilling to say there's reason enough to slam the brakes on the economy," said...

By John Miller Were you aware that when you borrow money you could actually be shrinking the amount of federal taxes you have to pay at the end of the year? Surprisingly, not all money borrowing programs are equal when it comes times to look at your tax situation. Just about everyone wants to borrow cash sometimes and it makes sense to do your homework before diving into a big situation involving money....

We have a BREAKING NEWS update: an anonymous source from Oslo contacted us with earth-shattering news: announcing Obama as this year's Peace Prize winner was premature and an unfortunate mistake. It turns out the real winner was Jesus Christ from Jerusalem, a long-time community organizer and religious leader. The news has not yet been officially released, with the exception of an unsourced, so far,...

Conservatives are already bemoaning the fact that President Obama won this year’s Nobel Peace Prize, saying that he should turn it down because he doesn’t deserve it. “Obama isn’t the first American president to win the Nobel Peace Prize, but he’s the first to win it without having accomplished anything,” writes John Miller at the [...]

The retired British diplomat on the first American President since Jimmy Carter to win the honor: Here is the citation for President Obama's Nobel Peace Prize. One line stands out: His diplomacy is founded in the concept that those who are to lead the world must do so on the basis of values and attitudes that are shared by the majority of the world's population. Huh? Michael Binyon gets in an early...

I'm all for Americans winning international prizes, and especially the Nobel Peace Prize. I was also quite confident that Obama would win one as president, but I certainly didn't think he would win one so soon, with what Bloomberg calls "no concrete achievement to his credit." Similarly, Reuters describes Obama as "a president less than nine months into his first term, who has yet to...

How perfectly appropriate. Now he shares company with Jimmy Carter, Yassar Arafat, and a worldwide variety of other American-haters (think Harold Pinter) who have done more to enhance the possibility of war than bring about any kind of lasting peace. John Miller : Obama isn't the first American president to win the Nobel Peace Prize, but he's the first to win it without having accomplished anything....
