Shepard Fairey: I see, I want, I take
Los Angeles’s Museum of Contemporary Art just opened what it bills as the nation’s first museum show dedicated to graffiti, Art in the Streets. In an article and a review, I explore the shameless hypocrisy on the part of MOCA’s director … Continue reading
The Archbishop and the Governor
New York Archbishop Timothy Dolan is greatly relieved that the pesky matter of New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s unCatholic (at least for now) lifestyle is finally behind us. The divorced Catholic governor has been very publicly living with his girlfriend … Continue reading
Magical Thinking Watch: Free Government Jobs
The New York Times rues Ohio’s pending legislative effort to cut back on public-sector union clout when government jobs are the only decent ones left in an area of southern Ohio: Decades of industrial decline have eroded private-sector jobs here, … Continue reading

Where’s the radical, America-hating Obama when you need him?
The right-wing’s portrayal of Obama as a terrorist-sympathising, anti-Western alien intent on destroying the country was patently absurd from the start—which isn’t to say that that portrayal can’t grow absurder still. Obama’s justified caution in using force unilaterally against Gaddafi … Continue reading

NPR CEO resignation: possibly the right outcome, definitely the wrong reason
I take it as a given that NPR’s feature reporting and programs like On the Media are pervaded with liberal bias. NPR will cover every cop shooting if any fringe element in a community claims racial bias by the cops, … Continue reading

The 2012 budget: A BS-detector
Why doesn’t President Obama call the Republicans’ bluff? His 2012 budget ducks any significant entitlement cuts, and ignores the recommendations of his bipartisan deficit commission. Obama’s budget director explains that the administration is not willing to make the first move … Continue reading
Japan disses diversity
Japan’s slippage from the world’s number two economy to number three will likely unleash more criticism of its highly restrictive immigration policies, especially from the New York Times. It’s hard to think of a greater repudiation of the American public … Continue reading
The ever-renewing terror threat
A Congressional hearing last week on terror threats facing the U.S. was covered by the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal, both of which told the identical story: the U.S. is at serious danger from domestic, homegrown terrorists. … Continue reading
