Jonah Goldberg had a post this morning at The Corner that touched on the subject of a memorable half of The Delivery. In Episode 97, I mused that what we have in America is not so much a crisis of leadership or a lack of good ideas but a dearth of confidence in America itself. [...]
I rarely say that my shows are big and important, but Episode 97 just might qualify. If I could, I’d make sure every GOP candidate heard the first half of this week’s show. It struck me a couple weeks ago that our biggest problem as Americans right now doesn’t lie in the political policies from [...]
Episode 76 reminded me of the old Lewis Black comedy routine (back when he was funny) about how he experienced five seasons in four days when he was in Boston in February. He finished the bit with this: And there will come a time mark my words where there will be a season of great [...]
It has apparently become chic to compare Barack Obama to Ronald Reagan, or at least to compare the Reagan Recovery to the current whatever-the-heck-this-thing-is that the President calls a recovery. Neither Soccer Dad nor Scared Monkeys were particularly amused by the comparison and I recommend their posts to you so you can get the reasoning [...]
This right here is pure electoral red meat. Ace calls it the “Best Advertorial You’ll See”. The Republican Study Committee, headed by Tom Price (R-GA), had drawn a very clear line of battle for November. On one side are people who believe “our natural, inalienable rights are now considered to be a dispensation of government” [...]
Oh, Lindsey, Lindsey, what in the name of all that’s holy are you talking about? On four occasions, [South Carolina Senator Lindsey] Graham met with Tea Party groups. The first, in his Senate office, was “very, very contentious,” he recalled. During a later meeting, in Charleston, Graham said he challenged them: “ ‘What do you [...]
So, you say conservatism is dead? Sure, pal. Keep right on holding that security blanket. I make no secret of the fact that I believe Ronald Reagan to be the greatest president in U.S. history. But imagine my surprise this morning when I saw a new poll saying that a majority of New Jersey residents [...]
According to Ted Kennedy’s biography (not titled “Swimming to Hyannisport”), Ronald Reagan just wasn’t all that bright. The senator said it had been difficult to get Reagan to focus on policy matters. He described a meeting with him that he and other senators had sought to press for shoe and textile import limits. The senators [...]
So there Ed was, just knocking around his palatial Silicon Graffiti studios, no doubt brainstorming his next miniature masterpiece, when renowned author Steven Hayward dropped by. Well, when you have a television studio and a best-selling biographer of one of the greatest Presidents in history, what can you do but tape a pretty darned good [...]

Share your thoughts. Click on “Leave a Comment” below. He expanded this one question to three. Pick one living and [...]
