Dear Self-Appointed Female Representatives,
Please stop calling me your woman. We may share biology but we do not share beliefs. Treating me that way by constantly assuming that I and millions of other women are part of the #WomensWave set to “sweep the world forward”
The meaning of words still matter beyond how they sound. It’s easy to forget that listening to President Barack Obama sometimes, like during the State of the Union Tuesday. While watching it I kept thinking of friends’ language poetry class in college, where the point was to string words together in a pleasing manner purposely […]
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s rant against conservatives last week is not just another MSNBC moment. Unlike the cable channel’s talking heads whose incivility toward non leftists has led to multiple anguished on-air apologies in the past year alone, he is a public official, elected to serve every citizen in his state. And given the Democrat’s […]
The friendship former NBA player Dennis Rodman has with North Korean Dictator Kim Jong Un is not as bizarre as commentators suggest. It certainly seems odd to befriend a man whose government is known for starving its people and imprisoning generations of a family for false crimes against one. And his outburst with CNN’s Chris Cuomo […]
Boy, have progressives “evolved.” The party of saloon protesters, suffragettes and crusaders against smoking, prostitution and immigration are now the champions of government-regulated vice. They no longer want to save souls, but use them to increase tax revenue to fund an ever expanding list of new priorities in a turnaround that would likely make Frances Willard, […]

If 2013 were a beauty pageant, it would be the World’s Ugliest Dog Contest. If it were a movie, it would be “Titanic.” If it were a song, it would be “Wrecking Ball” by Miley Cyrus. Obamacare is its defining story and should be. Learning that the foundational promises of Obamacare – if you like […]
Dear Family, Friends and Followers, I hope you are all having a festive and magical holiday season! As I sit here with a steaming cup of Starbuck’s Reserve Finca Nuevo from Mexico wrapped up in a cozy Restoration Hardware faux-fur arctic fox throw (and not much else!) on my Williams-Sonoma Beverly sofa with baby North, […]
Leadership can mean many things to many people. But its absence is obvious, as it was with President Barack Obama, Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt and British Prime Minister David Cameron snapping a “selfie” Tuesday like teenagers at a rock concert and not dignitaries celebrating the life of former South African president Nelson Mandela at his […]
