Don’t Send Your Kids To College (or L.A.)
The addendum to yesterday’s post where I linked to an article about how low quality of life ratings for L.A. County have gotten has me on a slow burn for the last 24. The excuse making is extraordinary and indicative of just how low the…
Does California Have A Bottom?
It is said that an addict has to “hit bottom” before they will actually change. Hitting bottom is defined, “reaching the lowest possible point, state, or condition, often characterized by intense misery, failure, or despair.” I am beginning to…
When Arguing With A Fool, Make Sure He Is Not Similarly Occupied
Sometime when I was in what was then known as “Junior High School” my mother clipped a one-panel cartoon out of the newspaper (remember those?) and posted it on the fridge. There it sat well into my adulthood disappearing only sometime well…

A Time For Choosing – The Hugh Hewitt Show
We are in a post-Christian era, no doubt. But in recent years the church has moved from simply being viewed as irrelevant to being viewed as dangerous and has come under active attack. I wrote about it Tuesday and again yesterday. In both…
The Greatest Tragedy?
On Tuesday I wrote about how young people seem to be migrating from mainline protestant churches to Catholicism. I analyzed the trend in terms of an outlook to personal salvation and evangelicalism. Among hardcore Evangelicals there is a term,…
About The Ceasefire – The Hugh Hewitt Show
