Many of our most thoughtful environmentalists are telling us that our planet is facing an unfathomable calamity. The combination of unbridled overpopulation and increasing greenhouses gases puts us on a path to destroy Mother Earth...unless we do something now. Two of the major suggestions to prevent such disaster...

My favorite person in the world - aside from Wilford Brimley - is Vaclav Klaus, president of the Czech Republic. Recently he wrote that global warming hysteria has become a problem of truth versus propaganda. He says the issue is more about freedom than tiny changes in global...

Sad but true: The homeless are four times more likely to die early than those of us who lead sheltered lives.
I ask: why?
Is it frostbite? booze? Steam grate burns?
No, No, and sadly no. Instead, the blame must rest on the iPod, the portable media player designed...

At the Campaign for America's Future "Take Back America" news conference this week, no one uttered the word "liberal." Instead, they used "progressive." Weird. Are progressives taking over the left?

Whenever I visit this lovely blog, I usually run into someone - a "leftist," if you will - who finds pleasure in things that make our country or the President look bad. I suppose I could say these angry types are no better than cheerleaders for terrorism. After all, both...

On January 10th, 2007, at the Huffington Post, John Seery, an academic with credentials, just proposed a novel contest. He says it's "sort of like Monopoly," except it's far more clever: you get to guess how many US troops will die this year. "Submit your estimate," he goads, in a...
