Mel Reynolds and Bill Clinton: Bosom Buddies (The Scoop on the Clinton Pardons)
Johnny-come-lately liberals are in an uproar over former President Clinton's peddling of White House pardons: Clinton has no shame! He'll do anything for a quick buck! He disgraced the highest office in the land! This is news? Lost in the hoopla is Clinton's repugnant...
Gun Shows Under Fire: Bureaucrats Attempt To Ban Gun Shows

American Citizenship For Sale?
In his inaugural address, President George W. Bush issued a call to reinvigorate citizenship: "We are bound by ideals that move us beyond our backgrounds, lift us above our interests, and teach us what it means to be citizens. Every child must be taught these...
Some Probing Questions About Bush Cabinet Nominee Elaine Chao
In this poisonous era of identity politics, it is impossible to raise questions about a prominent minority figure without being branded a racist. But since I am an Asian-American, and the subject of my scrutiny is an Asian-American, perhaps we can put aside the race...
Look Who Supports Americorps
President Clinton triumphs again. His relentless propaganda machine, in the last throes of its legacy-building frenzy, sent out a White House press release this week heralding the success of AmeriCorps. Created in 1993, this big-government boondoggle pays young people...
What America Owes Me

Gambling Off the Reservation
If Indians want to reap multi-million-dollar profits from casino gambling, they should be required to shed their legal status as societal victims and compete on a level playing field. Savvy tribes, armed with lawyers and lobbyists, are targeting non-tribal lands in...
Ignoring A “Hate Crime” in D.C.
Here in the land of pontificators and tolerance preachers, a hateful crime goes unpunished. President Clinton, our lame duck lip-biter, is nowhere to be found. Neither are the chest-beaters at the New York Times. And the rainbow coalition of loud-mouthed minority...
Feminization of Gun Debate Drowns Out Sober Analysis
WHEN IT COMES to talking about guns, responsible women should adopt Johnson & Johnson's Baby Shampoo pledge: No more tears. No more mom-in-tennis-shoes proselytizing. No more irrational NRA-bashing. No more maudlin sermons. Alas, the sopping feminization of...
Brace Yourselves for Floridation
One of my favorite bands, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, recently penned an ode to "Californication." The term refers to the spread of the Golden State's worst attributes: smog, strip malls, drive-bys, and celebrity worship. "It's understood that Hollywood sells...
The Real Grinches are Environmentalist Luddites Who Stand In the Way of a Free-Market For Electricity
Windmills and candles and warm woolen mittens. Staticky sparks from the fur of small kittens. Campfires and solar panels and thermal paddings. These are a few of the favorite things that radical environmentalists would rather rely on for warmth, light, and electricity...
UNICEF Kills the Little Children…
"Breast is best." No, it's not the new slogan for Hooters restaurant. It's the mantra of breast-feeding advocates who promote their cause with a cult-like fervor around the world. Their extremism must be condemned. I have nothing against breast-feeding. After weighing...
The Amish Against The Feds
Everything I learned about the Amish, I learned from the old Harrison Ford movie, "Witness." Members of this pacifist religious community don't use electricity or listen to music. The women wear bonnets. The men drive black buggies. Thanks to principled elders,...
Napster is About Freeloading, not Freedom

Let the Sun Shine on the Supremes: Open up the Courts to America
When will the high and mighty hermits on the U.S. Supreme Court get over themselves and get with the 21st century? Unlike the judiciaries in 47 states, the highest court in the land still refuses to allow its hearings to be televised. Thanks to snooty traditions,...
A Politically Correct Nobel Peace Prize for Murder
Stanley "Tookie" Williams was nominated for the 2001 Nobel Peace Prize this week. His supporters call him "wise," "compassionate," "well-read," and "wide-eyed like a child." So just what are Tookie Williams' qualifications for one of the most prestigious honors in the...
A Vicious Double Standard in Journalism: Fog Horns of the Fourth Estate
TV journalism means never having to be truly sorry. You would think that after last Tuesday's election coverage fiasco, the broadcast networks might show a smidgen of humility. Instead, NBC and MSNBC -- which led the blow-dried lemmings in erroneously awarding Florida...
