The Curious Case of William Scherk

Analogous to Benjamin Button, Sherk seems to be moving backwards from the facts of reality as time marches on and Obama's policies get progressively worse.

It will surprise no one here that I'm not a particular fan of Michael Jackson's music, but I always thought his brand of pop was at least benign, as opposed to the militantly malignant headbanging caterwauling I despise.

Iran & Obama's Hollow Moral Core

By Edward Hudgins

June 25, 2009 -- In December 1989, I stopped in Moscow, on my way to Estonia as part of the first group from the West to hold a conference on free markets in the Soviet Union. A colleague and I met with scholars and others who we thought would be sympathetic to our mission. Not infrequently we were told that they had heard and, we gathered, been inspired by the rhetoric of Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher about the nature of their regime, an evil empire, and what should be done: "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!"

I was one of those who resolved not to read James Valliant’s book, The Passion of Ayn Rand’s Critics, openly touted as “The case against the Brandens.” My position was—why gnaw at those old bones?

"The emotion involved in art is not an emotion in the ordinary meaning of the term. It is experienced more as a 'sense' or a 'feel,' but it has two characteristics pertaining to emotions: it is automatically immediate and it has an intense, profoundly personal (yet undefined) value-meaning to the individual experiencing it.
