Media Series: Post 1–Media in Macro, How Information Flows
Friday, March 28th, 2008How does the media work on a large scale? Why do national events grab the spotlight? If you pay any attention, you see the “it bleeds, it leads” mentality at work in the media. Fewer people bother to go deeper than a cynical comment or two in asking how news is made.

Monday, March 24th, 2008It’s fairly easy to just rave on about this or that being wrong with society.

The liberal worldview comes home to roost
Wednesday, February 20th, 2008The Associated Press reported Monday that Hillary Clinton is trying to smear Barack Obama.

Something to be proud of in France. Amazing.

“I would rather have a German division in front of me than a French one behind me.” —General George S. Patton
