    Lionel Shriver: PC Police are Infiltrating the Literary World0

    We’ve learned a lot about political correctness in recent years, primarily – let’s be honest – about what it prevents us from doing. Some of those preventions include an inability to wear hoop earrings, win sporting events, have father-daughter dances, or even single out potential terrorists.

    Lincoln’s Suicide Note0

    The depths of Abraham Lincoln’s misery following the death of fiancée Ann Rutledge is well known.

As a major Broadway star, a rising Hollywood actor, and a frequent pop-up on all manner of late-night talk shows and channels, I guess that’s the natural path for the poor dude to follow.   Despite his liberal tendencies, I personally think that Lin-Manuel’s twitter account

    Limited Government is Not ‘Reckless Radicalism’0

    With Inauguration Day behind us, ink spilled on politics is being diverted from Donald Trump and the transition of power to Joe Biden and the exercise of power. One such piece by Jeffrey D.
