The Cost Of Super-Humanity… – The Hugh Hewitt Show
…may just be our humanity. The Boys is a comic book come Amazon Prime series in the superhero genre. It is at once an exercise in licentiousness, seeing how much one can gross out an audience, and a deep and disturbing look at our natural…
The Most Repulsive Thing I Have Read In Quite A While
All signs point to an impending escalation of the military conflict with Iran. Forces are being forward deployed, B1B bombers are getting involved (again) and discussions of “regime change” have resurfaced. Certainly that is the…big…news of…
The Media And Political Theater
The continued coverage of the problematic revitalization of the reflecting pool in D.C. is “The Dumbest Expression of T.D.S.” I hesitate to call it “political theater” because the inception of the project was genuine, the problems have arisen…
