The Delivery Presents – The Pot Calls the Kettle Gaffetastic
When I started The Delivery almost two years ago, I confess I gave some thought to what I might do for Episode 100. I didn’t have big plans, but I wanted to make a splash, like Wendy and Mike did when they got Mark Steyn to take over the 50th episode of Brass Balls Radio. [...]
The Delivery Presents – This is What A Daily Delivery Would Sound Like
Pure, unfettered fun. That’s how I choose to describe what it was like to make Episode 79. Stephen Green and Ed Driscoll came on for the full hour and were their usual witty and ridiculously smart selves. As I wrote in a post this morning, if I’m ever fortunate enough to do The Delivery daily, [...]
The Delivery Presents – Bailouts and “Bise, Bise, Baby”
When historians listen to Episode 67, a hundred years from now, I wonder what they’ll think about our discussion of the General Motors bailout? I know it’s not a new topic, but some of the things we (that is, me and my guests Stephen Green and Ed Driscoll) discussed were new and led to a [...]
The Delivery Presents – Movie Talk From Smart Men
How great was Episode 51? Once you get past the introductory stuff, run a stopwatch on how much I spoke in the first half of the show. I’ll say you won’t even get to two minutes. That’s what happens when you bring on three guys – Stephen Green, Ed Driscoll, and Rob Long — who know [...]
Coming Soon: An Actual Book Review!
Yesterday, I received a review copy of Zev Chafets’ Rush Limbaugh: An Army of One from the kind folks at Sentinel Books. I haven’t had a lot of time to really dig into it, but I find it’s not a book that needs a lot of deep pondering. The story of how Rush Limbaugh made [...]
The Delivery Presents: Whacking Waxman and All That Jazz
Episode 32 is a done deal. The show has a more laid-back pace than some of my more recent shows. It’s been a long couple weeks and I felt like having a little bit of fun. So I invited a couple of my favorite frequent guests, Kim Haney and Ed Driscoll, for the aforementioned fun! [...]
You Need Morality to Have “A Moral Equivalent of War”.
Ed Driscoll has an interesting post up today on the progressive penchant to identify everything as a crisis in order to gin up public sentiment for its various utopian programs. Before I get into that, though, let me pull out this utterly brilliant Thomas Sowell quote from Ed’s piece. There’s something Eric Hoffer said: “Intellectuals [...]
I Wonder If There’s a Call For A WWAYD Bracelet?
Ed Driscoll tipped me to his newest episode of Silicon Graffiti, and I’m glad he did. It’s a good one. His guest is the author of a book on Ayn Rand, her various tiffs with the political right, and what she might make of what’s been going on in Washington lately. The interview is nice [...]
