Sicko…
16-Jun-07Recently I had an opportunity to see Michael Moore’s latest titled Sicko. Sicko is a devastating indictment of the US healthcare system. In a work that evokes the great muckrakers of the past Moore tackles a deep and complex subject in a coarse, and at times, vulgar way. That shouldn’t be taken as an indictment [...]

Iran and the state of the state…
07-Apr-06A fascinating little piece by Victor David Hanson, classicist and author of such works as Ripples of the Battle and A War Like No Other: How the Athenians and Spartans Fought the Peloponnesian War, over at the National Review. Hanson’s basic thesis is that Iran and Iran’s president (& indeed many in the third world) [...]
