The United States and Russia appear to be gearing up for a second round of the Cold War. Washington still hopes to extend its reach deep into Moscow’s zone of interests, and the Russians intend to resist. Most of the action will be characterized by espionage and covert operations, but the clash is more than just a grudge match over territory … [Read More]

Dick Cheney is giving the Republican Party a demonstration of how to fight a popular president. Stake out defensible high ground, do not surrender an inch, then go onto the attack. The ground on which Cheney has chosen to stand is the most defensible the Republicans have: homeland security. In seven-and-a-half years after 9-11, not one terrorist attack struck our country. … [Read More]

There are two types of “conservative” Republicans. The type who believes that government is broken, but only needs Republicans to better manage it, and those who believe we need to actually reduce government.

(Genetically speaking, that is, and not just as a cultural gloss … [Read More]

This being my last week in the Bagel, the butterflies have arrived with a vengeance. Stuttgart, I am told, will be no picnic. Two top judokas, one Japanese, the other German, are in my age group, which I find quite ironic. My boat is named Bushido — the way of the Samurai warrior — and my admiration for the Wehrmacht’s fighting … [Read More]

Kabbala is looking as old and unsightly as Madonna. With all due respect, Lady Di is dead. So who is one to emulate? And how is one to be charitable whilst New York is getting its lower parts licked by the Tribeca Film Festival? Stick with the tried and true?  I thought so. And so off I went, like the Jolie-Pitts … [Read More]

Speaking to the South Carolina Republican state convention over the weekend, Senator Lindsey Graham felt compelled to repeat something he had already said once earlier this month “Ron Paul is not the leader of the Republican Party” “Yes he is!” many responded. Graham said “We are not going to build a party around libertarian ideas.” “You’re a hypocrite!” screamed an audience … [Read More]

Although it might be disturbing to some readers that in my following remarks about white nationalists I treat my subjects with respect, this should cause no surprise to anyone who is familiar with my work.
