Don’t Mess with Texas
January 9, 2011Anne and I have just come back from a month-long driving trip to my home state of Texas, and I have never been so terrified in my life. From what we experienced in Texas, the shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords today in Arizona... continued
The Jolly Season
December 25, 2010I have seen 65 Christmases and remember 61 of them, and yet every year at this time, I find myself deeply moved and filled with an upwelling of hope and joy that is quite unquenchable, and is as intense right now... continued
Climate Change: What to Watch For
December 24, 2010My appearance on Coast-to-Coast AM on December 20 and my last journal entry resulted in some ferociously angry email from climate change deniers, as well as some more considered letters. Most of the 'denier' email had an element of hysteria... continued

The Wonder of Western Civilization
October 19, 2010Western civilization is in the doghouse. Its popularity among intellectuals has dropped to an all-time low. To the far left, it's invalidated by its historical prejudices. To the far right, it's annoyingly insistent on freedom for all--even the far left.... continued
It’s Not Enough
October 17, 2010Since my discovery, after my close encounter, that the US government was engaged in a massive program of lying and denial, I have not taken much interest in conventional politics. My interest has been directed toward finding out why it... continued
Thoughts on the Ninth Anniversary of 911
September 11, 2010On this ninth anniversary of the 911 attack, American anger is more intense than it has been in many years. In part, this is because of the mosque that is being built near the site of the World Trade Center,... continued
