The American Spectator : Your Tax Dollars at Work

Text Size

Government guzzles gasoline taxes. Also: Reviving dead rock — save the summer fun Beach Boys! Panther divisions. Neopaleoconservatism. Black and White periods. Plus much more…including a few closing Ben Stein tributes.

p> LETTERS TO HOME br> Re: Shawn Macomber’s Iraq reporting : /p> p>While he was in Iraq, Shawn Macomber interviewed my husband, MAJ Darrell Green, who is an active duty soldier working with the Iraqi Special Police Commandos. Ever since then, I have read everything he has written. He truly has a gift of painting a picture with his words and I can “see” parts of Iraq through his writing (I think that his articles on Kuwait and riding the Rhino were my favorite). I just wanted to take a minute and let you know that I truly appreciate everything that you have posted by Shawn on Iraq. He did a great thing by being there…at least for one Army wife in Texas! I just thought you should know how much his work is appreciated! br> — Jeanne Green /p> p> PAVED WITH BAD INTENTIONS br> Re: Eric Peters’s The Real Gas Price Gouger

Counting the Costs of Clintonism

By Robert H. Bork

The debacle of this president’s administration is both a cause and a symptom of the decline of American values. Unless Congress impeaches him, that decline will go on unchecked. An eminent jurist surveys the damage and assesses the chances for the recovery of our culture.
