    • Why Glenn Beck and I (and even Deepak Chopra) agree – We’re doomed.  The following comprises an imaginary conversation between two of today’s most influential thinkers (with an interjection here and there by a renowned spiritual philosopher): RB: “We’re doomed.” GB: “You can say that again.” RB: “Okay. We’re...” GB: “Doomed because activist judges ...
  • I Am Not a Sarah Palin Fan, but Come On!

    September 5, 2009

    •   Does the name Levi Johnston sound familiar to you? If you have any idea who this person is by name alone, then you are way ahead of me; that is until I clicked on MSNBC headlines around 6:00 A.M. yesterday morning. Once I began to read the article presented on the site by the fine folks at People.com, I remembered the incident that first propelled Johnston into the public arena. He’s the guy ...

    • San Francisco—Today Laina Adler, Marketing Director for a major American publishing firm which for the purposes of this article we will call CarperHollins, received a call this morning from a company called Bioscript. “They said they needed to talk to me about my daughter Nicola Adler’s account,” Adler said, visibly shaken.

  • Cry My Diluted Swastika

    August 17, 2009

    • As the rhetoric heats over healthcare reform, the swastika has taken center stage. The problem is that no one knows whether the once dreaded symbol is being used to identify the target or the perpetrator. And therein lies the danger. We live in toxic times. The increasing displays of vitriolic calls to violence, fueled by frothy-mouthed commentators like Glenn Beck, Lou Dobbs, Michelle Malkin and ...

  • Hypocrisy At Its Finest

    June 23, 2009

    • Just spending five minutes listening to the news today, I've realized how many lessons there are to be learned in this world.1) If you dare to test fire missiles, produce nuclear weapons-grade materials, threaten to shoot a missile at Hawaii, and generally act like a mad man, the United States will forcefully retaliate by following your ships. Take that!2) Kate Gosselin is a raging bitch. This ...
  • Sarah Palin and her Frank Sinatra Complex

    June 16, 2009

    • Okay, to start off with, two disclaimers: first, I'm a big Sinatra fan, always have been, and secondly, I was too young to swear that this story isn't apocryphal, but if memory serves me right, somewhere in the early to mid-1970's, one of my favorite disc jockeys at the time, Jonathan Schwartz, was suddenly taken off the air for making a pejorative remark about one of Sinatra's latest recordings. ...
  • Sundry Thoughts on a Sunday Morning

    May 24, 2009

    •   It's a holiday weekend so there's a part of my brain that tells me I shouldn't be doing the ordinary, but rather should be kicking back all weekend while in some way honoring those who fight for our country. Will writing this blog as a form of free speech work? Here on Long Island we've gotten several days of uninterrupted sun, although right now it appears that clouds are moving in.  ...
  • The Daily Sam: Sarah Palin’s Big Book

    May 18, 2009

    • In book publishing the publishers generally pay the author an advance against royalties—meaning, the author gets some money up front, and if the book earns back that amount plus other expenses, the author will start getting more money. Most authors get relatively small advances that aren’t enough to live on, but some celebrities and major public officials get pretty fabulous amounts. Stewie ...
