Debbie and I are in Paris as I write this. The article Smoking Around Bebe is right on the money in every regard. Parisians do not talk to strangers. This can be profoundly disconcerting to a New Yorker who’s used to freely bitching about life’s daily indignities with whoever happens to be in line with them […]
A Promising Step Toward Round-the-Clock Solar Power
A simple, cheap device turns sunlight into hydrogen fuel. If solar power is to become a primary source of electricity around the world, we’ll need cheap ways to store energy from the sun when it isn’t shining. A paper published in the journal Science this week reports a major step toward such a system. Researchers […]
Nicolas Sarkozy launches political comeback
Last week, Sarkozy announced via his Facebook page that he would seek the leadership of the centre-right Union for a Popular Movement (UMP) party, according to the reports. The development came after the suspension on Wednesday of a case against Sarkozy about an alleged attempt to influence judges who were looking into his affairs. Sarkozy […]
Intervention and Big Government Losers
The Cato Institute’s Dan Mitchell asks, can you name a nation with interventionism and big government that is outperforming a similar nation with free markets and small government? 1. Can you name a nation that became rich with statist policies? Before you say Sweden, or even France, note that I asked you to name a […]
Iraq Military Base Overrun

Obama’s Coalition of Arab Tyrants
Michael Scheuer, the former head of the CIA bin Laden unit, spent his career developing strategies to keep America safe. Dr. Scheuer outlines the deepening hole Barack Obama is digging for Americans both at home and abroad. The recklessly lawless Barack Obama has again violated the Constitution by attacking Syria without congressional approval. He also has […]
Love America, Hate Our Government
Pat Buchanan explains the obvious. Is Burger King an Economic Patriot? “Merchants have no country. The mere spot they stand on does not constitute so strong an attachment as that from which they draw their gains.” Jefferson’s brutal verdict comes to mind in the fierce debate over inversions, those decisions by U.S. companies to buy […]
The $10 Million Bounty and the Death Ray
Wanted Dead or Alive: Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. The U.S. has posted a $10 million reward. Now it is time to take him out. Here is exactly how. I refer back to Gary Bernsten’s Jawbreaker, The Attack on bin Laden and Al-Qaeda. Dateline November 2001, northern Afghanistan. American Green Beret forces code named Tiger 02 […]
What does Rand Paul Stand For?
In this incoherent feature in the WSJ, it’s not hard to come away with a fuzzy view of Senator Paul’s foreign policy position. This, of course, may have been the intent for a publication deeply in bed with the military/industrial complex. On the other hand, the intent simply may have been to update readers on […]
