MINT-AND-CORN COUNTRY, INDIANA — I’ve done it. I’ve joined John, Conor, et al. on the Deranged Blogger List!
I’m truly disappointed by the lack of cleverness. “Nathan P. Mental Case”? Really? I still contend that “Nothing P. Orijerk” would have been better. I invite readers to suggest their own ideas. Maybe one of Mr. Levin’s lackeys [...]

I almost wish I had thought of Patrick’s choice first, though I only cursorily read Hayek in my graduate seminar on economic history. Though I won’t go as far as our friend David Lindsay in trumpeting Old Labour, it is well worth reflecting on the fact that contra Austrian dogma, it is the welfare states [...]

Arriving at this conversation admittedly late, I have decided to share my own opinion on which is the worst of the conservative classics. I particularly liked Mr. Hawley’s post on Frank Meyer’s In Defense of Freedom, while seconding–despite my own love for Russell Kirk–the dreadfully mediocre The American Cause. Mr. Ross’s pick was also a [...]

Don’t sweat it Nathan, I have the same binge-and-purge relationship to the Commentary blog!

MINT-AND-CORN COUNTRY, INDIANA — I concede that, just maybe, I have become a little too obsessed with Mark Levin and his antics, the wickedness of that is Happy Meal conservatism, and the entire kerfuffle that led to the coining of the term “prefabricon”, to the point that I now occasionally peruse Levin’s Website, looking to [...]

I’ve meant, at the least, to provide up-to-date linkage, if not to comment on the debate (which I may still [...]

There seems to be an iron law of these ginned up “crises” in recent years - the less there is that America can actually do about a situation, the more huffing and puffing about it in the media and its political enablers.
Darfur is a major case in point, the other excellent example was last year’s [...]

While I’ve already posted my own initial reaction to Gov. Mark Sanford’s admission of infidelity, it might be of interest to TAC readers the reaction of South Carolinians at large.
The three primary reaction categories are:
1. Sanford is a lying scumbag who should resign.
2. Sanford is a good man who made a mistake, but should still [...]

I’ve noticed a curious silence from the “Save Darfur” crowd in recent months. When I lived in DC, it seemed that my neighbors attended Darfur rallies as frequently as their ancestors attended church. I once even attended one of those silly spectacles of feigned moral outrage. As I no longer live in that cesspool of [...]

MINT-AND-CORN COUNTRY, INDIANA — To this Website’s own John Schwenkler, worthy proprietor of Upturned Earth. He is the latest soi-disant conservative to join the ranks of those whom our great high-priest Mark “My books are ‘Required Reading‘ but Kirk’s Aren’t”* Levin has called for their obvious derangement. John’s crime: A very nifty neologism that so [...]
