K and I went to see Bedroom Farce last night playing at Theatre Three in Dallas. It’s written by Alan Ayckbourn, a celebrated contemporary British playwright. The Theatre Three staging is very well done and all actors seem to be well-cast. The story centers around 4 couples playing out pieces of the play in their bedrooms.

“Why are you …

This week, President Obama proposed regulatory changes that would limit big banks, implicitly those that received the guarantee of a government backstop during the crash last year, from investing for profits using their own hedge-funds or proprietary trading desks. This would be an excellent first step in reining in the power that the JP …

Man, the leftist elites are flipping out. It must be hard waking up to the realization that democracy involves “the people” and not “you telling the riff-raff what they ought to do”. Congratulations to Scott Brown this morning but more importantly, congratulations to the people of Massachusetts who went to the polls in …
