Welcome! This is an unapologetic, agenda-free zone. Just commentaries on current events that’ll move you to think, laugh, rage, and even cry.
The only person who seemed more dazed and confused than Obama was moderator Jim Lehrer. To continue the boxing analogy, he reminded me of the typical punch-drunk champion who just did not know when to quit. Lehrer’s journalistic legacy, not Obama’s presidency, was the biggest loser last night. (“Romney beats Obama,” The iPINIONS Journal, October… Read more.
This picture is priceless not only because it’s not the Clinton you’d expect to be caught in this compromising position, but also because it gives credence to Washington gossip about Bill and Hillary having a marriage of convenience. Specifically, a marriage that has as its primary purpose the furthering of each other’s political ambition. Which is the… Read more.
I find it amusing when people regale me with a story or opinion that mirrors one of my published commentaries. Such was the case yesterday when a colleague vented her incredulous take on an article in the current issue of the New Yorker titled: Super-rich irony: Why do America’s super-rich feel victimized by Obama? Of course… Read more.
It was billed as the Thrilla in Manila, but this debate was all about the pretender in Denver. Frankly, no fair-minded pundit can deny that Romney ran circles not only around Obama, but around the facts. Still, a win’s a win. Romney won. But I see no point in joining the peanut gallery of those… Read more.

To the contrary, the most… Read more.

Because in his latest syndicated column he not only asserts that “Obama’s administration is in shambles;” he concludes that, but for Obama’s race, the nation would reject him in Jimmy Carter-like fashion in November: Instead, the nation, which is generally reluctant to declare… Read more.
My home team, the Washington Nationals, won the NL East Championship last night. Given the celebrations, though, you’d think we had won the World Series. Of course, the reason for this delirium is that this is the first postseason berth for Washington, DC in 79 years. But the irony or foreboding was not lost on… Read more.
It smacks of rank hypocrisy for the British [who went to war to reinforce sovereignty over the Falkland Islands] to be denouncing the Serbs for merely threatening to go to war to reinforce sovereignty over Kosovo… Kosovo embodies as much historical, cultural and religious significance for Serbs as Mecca holds for Saudis. Moreover, it happens… Read more.
