Feeling Proud (at least for a few minutes)

By Ross Kaminsky on 3.28.12 @ 3:54PM

I’m pleased and proud to have been named the best radio talk show host in Denver by the editors of Westword Magazine in their 2012 “Best Of” awards.

Some may note that Westword is not exactly a conservative publication. Nevertheless, it’s great to be recognized for trying to put on a truly “fair and balanced” show, both by covering a wide range of issues and by treating with respect those who disagree with me. I’m particularly happy that Westword even noticed and considered a Sunday show.

I would add that it is probably even better that a liberal-leaning publication like Westword has good things to say about me. After all, if I’m only preaching to the choir, I’m probably not being an effective messenger for the things I believe.

Thanks very much to the editors of Westword. I’m grateful and honored.

Counting the Costs of Clintonism

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.

The American Christmas, like the songs that celebrate it, makes room for everybody under the rainbow. Is that why so many people seem to be hostile to it?
