Luis sent me this essay on the Elian kidnapping and subsequent march on Calle Ocho. It was so perfect and heartfelt for the sad anniversary of that black day thirteen years ago that I asked for his permission to publish it. I think you will cry and feel a little pride in who and why [...]

Forty-five years ago. April 3rd. A young family boarded a plane in Varadero. Tired, hungry, scared, they walked the tarmac in a huddle. Tears fell, but no one looked back. Forty-five years ago. April 3rd. A lifetime, and then some. The Gonzalez family has grown, but we've never lost hope that our feet will once [...]

If you take ten minutes to read one OpEd today, this is the one worth reading. Sultan Knish (Daniel Greenfield) is dead-on, and this article is brilliant. "To believe that there is no such thing as constructive violence is to reject free will. Without accepting the necessity of constructive violence, there is no good and [...]

Why am I not surprised? MSNBC unquestionably has the largest liberal viewer base of all news networks, and 78% of their viewers think that "targeted killings of American citizens on U.S. soil" is OK. These are probably the same morons who agree with the ACLU when it argues that terrorists should be tried in U.S. [...]

For Andrew I have writer's block. It's not that I can't find stuff to write about, but rather that everything that I write ends up in the recycle bin when I proof it. It ends up there not because it lacks substance or the delivery is less than what I set up as a standard [...]

From Lion's Den, Daniel Pipe's blog: Chuck Hagel at Defense? Three thoughts as the U.S. Senate gears up to consider on Jan 31 the nomination of Chuck Hagel for the position of secretary of defense: It's more than a bit curious that Barack Obama should nominate a politician of no distinction, with no significant bills [...]

This is rich. According to a new study from sociologists at the City University of New York, more than a third of activists in the Occupy movement in New York City had household incomes above $100,000, placing them at the cusp of the top quintile of income distribution in America. Researchers surveyed 729 people who [...]
