Given the nitwits we must endure on our TV networks and in the rest of the media, it’s doubly outrageous when genuinely talented and smart people do not receive the recognition and exposure they deserve. And say what you will about left-liberals and neoconservatives, but… Read More
And the Dumbest Guy in the World Is…
…Ian Millhiser of the hilariously misnamed ThinkProgress, who says, “The Constitution expressly states that Acts of Congress ‘shall be the supreme law of the land…anything in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding,’ so our founding document specifically denies the states… Read More
